“If we liquidated this business that has created thousands of jobs and also promises to propel man to an interplanetary existence, we could give everyone a minimum-wage pay check for one month.”
I’ve yet to see a tweet that better exemplifies leftism than this.
Its funny how you can skew crime data number simply by not charging. 3 cops got shot last night. My city is an embarrassment and unless you live or work down there you truly have no idea how bad it is.
Just another dangerous night in #Philly on South St Where @PhillyMayor@PHLCouncil Say crime is down and the city is safe. Because @marksquilla says my only concern is pushing 🚗 off of every street in Center City! And making micro mobility rule.
Did you see this @MarkFusetti ; @PhillyCrimeUpd
The left won.
The world's richest man is an electric vehicle manufacturer who is decarbonising the atmosphere while helping quadriplegics, restoring space travel, and making the internet and freedom of speech widely available across the globe.
Unfortunately most of the people who identified as "left" were simply pathological grief merchants with oppositional defiance disorder. They build nothing. They stand for nothing.
Can someone please explain it to me like I'm five, why members of Congress are more upset that Elon became a trillionaire than they are that Somalis have defrauded our government out of hundreds of billions of dollars?
If you just give us a few percent more of your money, we could finally fix the worsening education, homelessness and crime caused by our own terrible policies…
Please bro… just a few percent more.
One last tax. I swear bro. Then I’m done.
The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.
And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.
One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.
Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.
If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.
Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.
Alternatively
There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.
To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.
It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)
Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.
Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up
But
They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks
Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.
This is the point. Put your "feelings" aside and compare track records. If you still think money in the governments hands is the answer I have a bridge to sell you
This is the state of the Union. If a politician has become rich since being in office they are corrupt, if not they are morons. Choose wisely western man.
