So let me get this straight:
When immigrants take jobs, itâs a national crisis.
When AI takes jobs, itâs innovation.
Can someone explain why weâre supposed to fear people willing to work, but celebrate technology designed to replace workers?
@SpeakerJohnson 1- Not your problem, thats their problem.
2- I donât agree with your viewpoints because they are based on your religious belief, which I do not share.
3- This is performative on your part just to cater to your religious crowd, you donât care about people who donât agree with you
Orwellâs warning wasnât about one ideology alone. In 1984 and Animal Farm, he showed how any movement can become dangerous when loyalty replaces truth, dissent is punished, and power becomes its own goal. He remained a democratic socialist, but spent his life fighting authoritarianism in all forms.
My property doesnât require âcommunity servicesâ either.
My land doesnât require public schools.
I can defend my land against trespassers by fencing it off, having dogs, and buying guns. If someone breaks into my house, chances are that the first call Iâm making is to the local coroner, not the local police department.
My land doesnât require roads. Roads are not part of my personal property. They can be paid for with gas and sales taxes.
I have never needed the fire department. Most people never will. If you do, they can send you a utility bill, or alternatively, they can be funded for with sales taxes (most states generate enough revenue to allow this) OR they can be volunteer fire departments, which are often subscription-based.
Property taxes should only be paid for by business and corporations.
Property tax on residential land is theft.
Funny how @RepLuna called the police to arrest me (they didnât once they saw the video) because she said I touched her arm. 10 minutes later @RepMariaSalazar grabbed my face. Iâm not complaining because she didnât do it maliciously, Iâm just pointing out the lunacy of @RepLuna
8th reminder.
Woke was originally about not letting the government fool you.
Companies found a way to make money off some black shit. Oversaturated it and completely changed it.
And now that same government has is telling you to be anti woke. Which means asleep.
Crazy chess move honestly.
New statement from Scott Pelley:
âLast month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
Â
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. Iâve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
Â
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to âkeep up the good fight.â Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.â
I'm not jealous of rich people. I don't need a gold leaf wagyu steak to feel complete. I'm angry that a handful of people hoard all the money while the middle class shrinks and poverty reaches crisis levels.
