@SherriRuss29755 @BernieSanders I would love for you to plug your first salary into an inflation calculator. Tell me the year and I’ll do it for you.

Have you considered that in the richest country in the history of the world, that people shouldn’t have to eat beans and split rooms 3 ways like it’s the 1800s

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

Between 2016 and today, the US has spent almost $9 trillion on defense. It then ran dangerously low in many advanced munitions fighting a country with no air force and navy--after about two months of combat operations.
This is an extraordinary scandal.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

we should elect people who want to do good for society, but are incurable curmudgeons. this way, they don't meet with lobbyists or cavort with donors, not out of some moral principle, which can falter, but simply because they don't like socializing

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.

My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.

Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.

If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

@caseyphillips @Jenny_bedford46 @RepMarkPocan “Um, actually, a combine harvested and a private jet are not different”. Do you see how stupid you sound?

The difference is that people who buy harvesters produce our food, while people who own private jets clearly have enough money that they do not deserve tax write offs

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@caseyphillips @Jenny_bedford46 @RepMarkPocan I can’t tell if you’re dense or if this is intentional, but you are listing different things. People are upset by private jets. Not trucks, not combines. You could leave every single one of these other items as eligible, but not the private jets…

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@johnhawkinsrwn @SenSanders He’s trying to redistribute it from people worth billions of dollars to people worth thousands. Why is that so wrong??

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@tsweens @kareem_carr I’m curious how you think flat cuts to funding of research across the board is in any way related to red tape. All we’ve done is kneecap our scientist’s abilities to make the US stronger. But thank god China is also cutting funding for their science programs. Wait…

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@MattCJBaker @BobFromAccounts You think the person with a bike emoji in their username is pro “make cars bigger”?

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@falconturns @JThomasMadden1 @brhodes How exactly is it a good thing that 271 thousand Americans lost their jobs? Can you explain how that is better for those citizens?

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@NapierHolland @j_ryan999 @mcsquared34 I think you have it backwards: someone flipping burgers actually adds something to society. A tech start up doesn’t. I hope this helps

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@DalJeanis @TheSharkPunch @paulgeecook @GabeGwoolley Not believing in evolution is the equivalent of being a flat earther, and I think it’s frustrating that society coddles you guys for being ignorant. It’s not the “law” of evolution, and there are plenty of equations relating to evolution. You just don’t know them

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@itemple7 @ptrckwnsch @RockChartrand @RBReich Considering how few Americans have savings, losing your job could be life ruining.

Do you think if Tesla went bankrupt Musk would be bankrupt and destitute? Obviously not. In fact, it would be worse for the Tesla workers. Of course they should get more of the profit

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@heroOfLabour @ramit It’s called a list of examples. If you’ll notice, that was not the point at all. The point is that you misinterpreted a very simple sentence (removing the most important part - “things you love”). Thought I could just explain the concept a little simpler for you. Too dense.

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@heroOfLabour @ramit Reading comprehension bro. Spending money on things you love. Build a community center, start a local baseball league, take up gardening.

Investing every extra penny so you can die with 50 million in the bank is not the key to a rich life (well, monetarily rich obv.)

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@MikeJazzpenis @Ishmael1229268 @joe4deadcat @peterdaou They are building more if there is not currently funding for a library. It’s not pulling them from another project, it IS creating those jobs.

The wealthy are clearly not directing their funds towards public goods, but yachts, islands, NFL teams, bunkers, etc.

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@MikeJazzpenis @Ishmael1229268 @joe4deadcat @peterdaou This is the problem though, it does affect us.

If he uses his stock as collateral, that value is determined by (in part) the projected profitability of meta.

If every dollar spent on stock buybacks went to new housing projects instead, that would “produce” more across the US

@fitzgerald_67 @asclepiasyriaca @KaivanShroff “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

It looks that way because it’s what it is!!! Nobody needs to be tricked into thinking the right is racist, they’ll outright tell you lol

[Josh @JoshSea24]

@Daluka88 @JPRay2024 @ByronYork We aren’t at war. You’re literally advocating for extrajudicial, non-congressionally approved drone strikes on living people… how does this not make the U.S. look like the bad guy?
