Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely
"Imagine in Iran that instead of spending their wealth, billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, had spent that money helping the people of Iran. You'd have a much different country." - Marco Rubio
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
Myth: If we tax billionaires they won't create jobs.
Fact: Last year, billionaires got the largest tax break in history. Now, they are literally planning to replace every worker in America with a robot or AI.
Trickle down economics is a scam. Tax billionaires out of existence.
This is a PERFECT encapsulation of the current anti-knowledge, anti-education, anti-expertise movement. We are literally letting "feels vs facts" override decades of advancement just to let folks like this fail their way upward to money and power. There will be no repercussions felt by this guy or any of the other folks at DOGE. They will do this, fail miserably and stupidly, and find themselves in a high-paying career, while other people will suffer the consequences of bro culture war dumbassery.
I have seen this picture cross my feed many times, and every single time it pulls me up short. His little blue lunchbox, the sneakers that are probably a tad too big because he would grow into them, the straps for his glasses so that he didn’t lose them, his checkered shirt that his little hands might have stumbled over in trying to make sure he got every button right, or perhaps his mother bent down to help him with; his mother who he waves goodbye to, who he loved and who loved him so deeply.
Flags flew at half staff and honors poured in for Charlie Kirk, as the WH and GOP leaders demanded he be celebrated as a hero.
No such treatment for a Civil Rights icon and one of our last bridges to King’s civil rights movement.
The U.S. President takes bribes for pardons and policy choices, and most of Congress is funded by the companies and industries they regulate.
This should surprise no one.
Lee, you hack, start/stop systems were invented by Toyota in 1974 and adopted by European automakers in the 2000s. They reduce fuel consumption by 5-8% and cut idle emissions by 100%. They restart in under 400 milliseconds… faster than your foot moves from brake to gas. Your car doesn't 'die.' The engine decouples from the drivetrain via a reinforced starter motor rated for 500,000+ cycles. This isn't Obama. It's thermodynamics. An engine burning fuel at zero mph does zero useful work. That's not politics. That's the first law. You're the EPA administrator and you don't understand combustion efficiency. Terrifying.
