I find the 2 most insufferable group of people on the planet are lifetime educators and lifetime politicians. Both live in a fantasy world that lacks common sense and would not survive a day in the real world
NEW: Black woman appalled after a young white Democrat voter suggested minorities don't know how to obtain an ID.
White man: An act like the SAVE Act is very likely more aimed at voter suppression... [like] minority demographics.
Black woman: To say that it would negatively affect a minority group because they're somehow not educated enough to get these documents is completely outrageous.
This is perfect.
ICE agent: “If you cared, you would care about the child who got raped and the person who got murdered by the guy we’re looking for. “
Awful, ugly white lady: “I don’t care.”
The entire insane national debate encapsulated in 20 sec.
Elon Musk: You get taxed on what you earn,
you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own. Taxes, taxes, taxes...
“It's pretty wild that a tiny tax on tea started the Revolution, and now we get the living daylights taxed out of us and there's no revolution
And then, what does it get spent on? A bunch of the stuff you don't even agree with. That's why we need to reduce the size of government and just spend less money and let the people keep a lot more of their hard-earned money”
Correct.
My Tesla and SpaceX shares, which are almost all my “wealth”, only go up in value as a function of how much useful product those companies produce and service.
This means my “wealth” can only increase due to producing more products and services for the public. Moreover, anyone else who is a shareholder in Tesla and SpaceX, which incudes employees, participates in the upside of stock appreciation.
That is because I am a maker, not a taker like the Bernie Sanders type politicians of the world. They take and they’re on the take, because they cannot or will not make.

Elons stocks aren’t wealth. If the number of Tesla shares doubled the world isn’t any richer. If the number of Tesla cars doubled, it’s measurably richer.
For him to get to $1t in capital, he has to organize labor to set the means of production in motion to produce enough consumer wealth that his companies are worth trillions. Aka he has to ship wealth to consumers.
Whoever runs on inequality isn’t a socialist. They aren’t running on “let’s build more houses or more hospitals” because they actually can’t find anyone competent who can organize labor so these things end up being built. The outcome is always just more state debt and inflation.
The Biden Administration has now been caught using the government to force Twitter, YouTube and Facebook at censor his political enemies.
Exactly what an actual fascist would do.
Holy shit.
The White House just quoted Unusual Whales.
The White House says that "Nancy Pelosi is rightfully criticized... she has a networth of $431 million. Nancy's Pelosi stock portfolio in 2024 grew 70%."
This is from Unusual Whales 2024 report.
