Government regulates our rights away and sells them back to us. Unwise Politicians rule us with panic. Life is too short for this.

@WilliamWal97227 @Reuters Fuck your ignorant act

@TaraBull Islam isn't a religion, Islam is a violent patriarchal political organization masquerading as a religion to escape constitutional scrutiny. Islam treats women as property and demands fealty under threat of death to apostates.

@KarlWuckert @divindj Especially true if you're Iranian.

@ClownWorld I guess she ran out of ammo.

The fact that so many Americans even know what an H1-B visa is indicates a problem.

This is supposed to be an obscure program for niche industries to employ a very limited number of workers for a finite period, not an import endless foreigners who get to stay forever scam.

@mikester @TechLayoffLover Idiotic post. The uninformed mindset is bankrupt. Anyone attempting to compete against AI will quickly find themselves undecided and outperformed. Unionized companies are now obsolete. Capitalism and AI will lower costs and raise productivity.

@sun_jun69301 @Reuters The words Iran and peaceful never belong together. Iran has vast stores of oil and does not need nuclear energy capability. Under their current leadership they have proven themselves to be wholly untrustworthy and dangerous.

@Heccles94 I don't listen to idiots with a jealousy complex. Rich people are not the problem. Rather it's the people who think wealth is a zero sum game of winners and their victims that are the problem. Fuck your act. Read an economics book, preferably by Thomas Sowell

@CattardSlim @1TimEggers Cue the TDS sufferers in 3,2,1...
So predictable. The war is 6 days old and hugely successful so far. Leftists have zero staying power and zero perspective.

[TheLessonTee @PinHighRanger]

@mattvanswol @libsoftiktok The problem is always seeking government remedy for a solution. Our Constitution usually forbids such "solutions" but they somehow pass anyway. We have become indifferent to outright lawlessness in Congress.

[TheLessonTee @PinHighRanger]

@McGeno19 @mattvanswol @libsoftiktok Obviously Obamacare was not a solution, it was a vote buying scheme for short term thinkers. It passed with zero Republican votes and a nonsensical opinion from the Supreme Court over the definition of taxes. It was a predictable failure of Marxian politics.

[TheLessonTee @PinHighRanger]

@reason Or..... a reasonable campaign to bring a despotic government to bear and free its people may lead to far less rancour and eventual stability in the oil market.
Reason has turned into TDS click bait journalism. This "war" is 6 days old. History is slow... then very fast.

Only socialists and spoiled brats think they have a right to live off the labor of others.

@CivicObsidian @chamath @RoKhanna The conversation bothers you obviously, not me. I know what plays.
You learned a made up word in school and couldn't wait to use it on X.
My depression era mother was a millionaire. She and my father worked their assess off working and not wasting it on giverment nonsense. FYA

@MrPitbull07 You're more childish than your kids. It's there anyone you can call and take them from you to safety?

[TheLessonTee @PinHighRanger]

@ResisttheMS Democrats are always dividing. Glad I left there before COVID and Newsom took over. California is much worse now.

[TheLessonTee @PinHighRanger]

@CivicObsidian @chamath @RoKhanna Never said I was a billionaire, but you are correct, there are a lot of things you don't realize. Perhaps your shallow mind is incapable. I know many millionaires and they are the hardest working most generous people I've ever met. Your act is tiresome and bankrupt.

[Frank McCormick @CBHeresy]

The “Israel made us do it” argument is for podcast bros too stupid to imagine U.S. strategic interests in the Middle East that have nothing to do with Israel.

To be sure, Israel benefits from our involvement in defanging Iran, and yes, we can debate how close Iran was to arming its 2,500 km range missiles with nuclear warheads, but there is no debate about how catastrophic it would be to allow Iran to reach a point where it could plunge the entire region into chaos with a few well-placed missile strikes, not to mention its growing drone capabilities.

Again, I’m asking you to forget the existential threat to Israel for a moment and consider the national security risk presented by an anti-American Islamic theocracy aggressively attacking us through proxies while possessing the capability to plunge the U.S. and the world into a recession.

Most people have no clue that nearly 20 million barrels per day, about 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption, move through the Strait of Hormuz, that 20% of global LNG trade also transits Hormuz, or that the Suez Canal handles 12–15% of global trade.

Iran has a history of pushing the region toward the brink, including by arming proxies that attacked our troops and bases, while fielding missiles reported capable of a 2,500 km range.

Now imagine that same behavior backed by a nuclear deterrent or longer-range delivery systems. That would mean more proxy escalation, more coercion of shipping, higher odds of miscalculation, and our economy taking a major shock.

That is the definition of a national security threat. It may be comforting to believe we can simply withdraw from the Middle East and let events play out without consequences for our economy or the standard of living we’re unwilling to sacrifice, but the real world does not work that way. Maturity means accepting that.

Strive to understand the world as it is, not as you wish it were. Accept that there are no perfect solutions, only trade-offs.

So it turns out that the sitting local Democratic congressman in Silicon Valley, @RoKhanna, is the most un-entrepreneurial, creative or innovative person possible.

He is:

1) In favor of California’s Property Seizure tax that he calls a “Billionaire” Tax. It’s already led to half of California’s Billionaire wealth to flee the state which will leave the middle class to pay for the lost revenues.

2) Despite this, he then teamed up with Bernie Sanders to propose an additional national 5% wealth tax to spend on God knows what.

3) Despite all the virtue signaling on inequality, he is also one of the most prolific traders in Congress where just last year he traded $55.7m of stock. With everything he learns in Congress to help him, he beat the market by 13%.

Ro’s ambition is what matters most to him and he will flop from dumb idea to dumb idea if he thinks it will serve his broader political ambitions.

Currently that means being a quasi socialist to win favor with the extreme left of his Party.

He doesn’t deserve to represent Silicon Valley and I hope he loses badly in his re-election.

@CivicObsidian @chamath @RoKhanna You're jealousy is sickening. I doubt you've ever met a billionaire or have any idea what they do. You post makes it clear you have no idea of their benefit to society.
