After working for 40+years, the average social security recipient makes about $1,800 each month.

After being in our country for 40 minutes, the average illegal alien gets about $3,800 each month.

Doesn't this just PISS YOU OFF?

[GritsNBytes @GritsNBytes]

This makes a lot of sense to me

[Steak 'n Shake @SteaknShake]

America’s corporate governance system is broken, and it’s killing public companies. Look no further than Cracker Barrel: Decades of brutal mismanagement have seen one incompetent CEO after another walk away with a massive paycheck while customers and actual shareholders take a beating.

Why does this keep happening? Because proxy advisory firms like ISS are corrupt. They blindly rubber-stamp failing boards year after year, protecting the corporate elite while burning shareholder value to the ground.

The root of the rot is index funds. There's no question that indexing one's money is a smart financial move for most people. But just because you passively index your investments doesn't mean your corporate votes should be handed over to the managers of your fund so they can play politics. Right now, passive funds hold massive, unchecked voting blocks while having zero skin in the game themselves.

It is time for a simple rewrite of the rules: We need to index the votes of index fund investors.

Passive index funds should be forced to automatically split their votes to proportionately mirror those of retail and active institutional shareholders — the people actually doing the research, risking their capital, and fighting for performance in the companies they hold shares in. No more rubber-stamping. A change like this will immediately strip corrupt gatekeepers like ISS of their toxic influence.

True accountability happens when lazy, overpaid boards actually answer to the stakeholders they represent, rather than screwing them over.

Actual, logic-driven governance when your money is passive happens when your vote passively follows the voting decisions of the actual market.

We need to stop letting passive capital protect active incompetence. By stripping index funds of their arbitrary voting power and empowering engaged investors, we will finally torch corporate cronyism and usher American capital markets into a golden age of capitalism.

Absolutely

At this point, X is the news…

Forget CNN, MSNBC, Politico, Fox… half the time everybody’s already seen the story on X before those guys even get around to talking about it.

Elon needs to just hire Nick Shirley, give him a desk, and start an X nightly news show. 😂

Hell, we’re already getting our news here anyway.

[GritsNBytes @GritsNBytes]

Agree

[David McGraw @Al2iDave]

@marsrepublica Elon makes me sad for the other tech bros and industrialists. If I was younger, I would try to get a job at a Musk Co so my work was part of Western civilization's triumph.

The Legacy Media did this to themselves…

They should be mocked at all times.

They are the enemy of the people.

The city of Austin and its leaders are an EMBARRASSMENT to the state of Texas!

[Kentucky Girl @Kentuckygirl1]

Dear corporate fake news media,

We accept your resignation from the White House press pool.

Piss off,

-Patriotic Americans.

[The Conservative Caucus @TCCaucus]

Idk who needs to hear this but there is no version of a Democrat win that fixes what you're upset about right now.

[GritsNBytes @GritsNBytes]

Same

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

And now you know. Two wings of the same bird. Fox News was never a “republican” network.

It’s a good thing I boycotted watching them years ago.

My news comes from X.

Always on top of the newest and latest information. 💯

[GritsNBytes @GritsNBytes]

@Milajoy I remember the jacka$$ everytime I spend any of my dollars that are now worth 75 cents 😠

[Gregory K Bovino @GregoryKBovino]

Folks, we pulled out of Minneapolis over optics. Then we went soft and dropped mass deportations.

Now a criminal alien is in an officer-involved shooting and the anarchists still riot.

Foreign flags on American streets.

Same playbook.

Never go halfway. There is no pleasing them.

They don’t want better enforcement. They want none.

Mullin’s approach is how you lose. Optics first. Results never.

Clear the streets in 15 minutes if the bosses will allow it.

Half-measures created this. Full measures end it! @SecMullinDHS @RealTomHoman @CBPCommissioner @OldPatrolHQ

[GritsNBytes @GritsNBytes]

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

I'm both heartbroken and disgusted at how LITTLE the U.S. Senate has done in the last 19 months.

They succeeded in stopping Trump at every turn.

98% of them gotta GO.

[GritsNBytes @GritsNBytes]

@Kentuckygirl1 Is anybody surprised to learn this?

[GritsNBytes @GritsNBytes]

Buh bye

[MOMof DataRepublican @data_republican]

Does anyone seriously care that other news media (like Fox News) pulled their reporters out of the White House pool? Maybe some independent journalists should take their place so we get unbiased news coverage? Bye bye, MSM.

[GritsNBytes @GritsNBytes]

I’m enjoying it tremendously. I suppose the remaining honest media will have lots of elbow room now 🤣🤣🤣
Won’t effect my news gathering on X at all!

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🚨 NOW: CNN and MS NOW have all their gear strewn on the sidewalks outside the White House following their evictions 🤣

Crews were seen loading their their equipment onto handcarts and wheeling them off WH grounds

This is ridiculously entertaining 😂

[The Conservative Alternative @OldeWorldOrder]

> Trump bans CNN from White House
> Fox News pulls out in solidarity with them

We just got rid of the entire mainstream media in one fell swoop 😂 This is glorious

[GritsNBytes @GritsNBytes]

Good. Another step on the road to turning these MSM networks down. Reforming them would be ok but I don’t see this happening.

[John Solomon @jsolomonReports]

Major television networks agree to suspend pool coverage of Trump after White House bans CNN https://t.co/eK7seB9gKZ

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

More people need to learn how to say “fuck you” to the commie mobs and never apologize.

Apologies don’t help. That’s just blood in the water to a commie. They don’t want contrition. They want power over you. Apologizing only gives them power.

[GritsNBytes @GritsNBytes]

@DefiyantlyFree “but you cannot in good conscience vote for lunatics unless you don’t actually care about the country.”

Fixed it for you:

…but you cannot in good conscience vote for lunatics or neglect to vote unless you don’t actually care about the country.
