Just a reminder. Real and qualified health professionals and independent journalists who asked questions were shut down, silenced, shadowbanned, called conspiracy theorists, among worse things….all because Fauci knowingly lied…and bragged to himself about it. Also enriched himself with behind the scenes deals. Go ahead defend the indefensible.
6 years, 4 months, and 7 days ago, we were shut down in California because of COVID. At the time, I was reporting here on X that it was lab-altered from impeccable sources I knew. I was shadowbanned and attacked for it. Thanks to @elonmusk, many of us independent journalists now have freedom again. Fauci should be prosecuted, and those who joined him as well.
It was great to see so many foreigners enjoy themselves in the US and have positive reactions to Americans.
But some of this was sad because it was clear that many had absurd preconceived notions due to mass media in their countries, especially in Europe.
Like Mark Twain said, those who don’t read newspapers are uninformed; those who do are misinformed.
I find it interesting that so many people attack @elonmusk for becoming a trillionaire after building companies, creating products, generating jobs, and helping create wealth for countless employees and investors. Yet there’s far less outrage directed at a government that has spent and wasted trillions of taxpayer dollars—often with little accountability, limited transparency, and documented cases of fraud. One fortune was built by creating value people chose to support; the other was spent using money taxpayers had no choice but to provide.
There was zero “Maga agenda,” whatever that means. The use of that term, @MayorOfLA, reveals your utter distrain, disrespect, and derision of the citizens of LA. @spencerpratt’s every comment and every plan was to solve the issues that have plagued LA for years, problems you refuse to attend to. Pratt is willing to sacrifice his privacy and time to actually solve these issues. You, on the other hand have for 4 years mocked or ignored our pleas to get the mentally ill off our streets, clear the encampments, fill the potholes and shave down the sharp road ridges, etc, etc. You are showing yourself to have no honor, no respect for LA, and no sense of responsibility. It’s shameful. Utterly shameful.
This is what our society fails to comprehend.
If I work as a physical therapist, and I’m good, I’ll make $100,000/yr. And pay $15,000 in taxes. I can see 60 patients per week. But that’s the end of it. No additional tax money, no more patients can get my services. I provide a living for myself and my family.
If I own a practice and employee 10 therapists that each make $100,000, now I’m providing a living for 10 families, and because of my efforts there is now $250,000 in tax revenue.
So why should businesses get taxed more? Why should they even have to pay payroll taxes? My value to society is way more than 10X at this point.
But the vast majority of Americans can’t comprehend that, neither do our congressional representatives.
