Seahawks For Life!!! TRUE TO THE BLUE! Mariners/Sonics/Kraken!!!October Rules!!!🎃

@NotKennyRogers You a broke joker

[Jeremy @jeremyct]

A bank won’t approve a $1,000,000 mortgage for someone making $100k a year.

A dealership won’t finance a $75,000 car for someone earning $35k.

But an 18 year old can take on $250,000 in student debt for a degree that leads to a $40,000 salary.

No credit check. No income verification. No reality check.

We let kids who can’t rent a car make six figure financial commitments that can follow them for decades.

Then we ask why so many young adults struggle to get ahead.

The bank protects its money.

The dealership protects its money.

The university gets paid.

And the student gets the debt.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

Wow... he truly staged it.

This is murder.

Trump must be held accountable.

More than three million pages of the Epstein files sat on Omaha streets as part of the Trump-Epstein bookmobile that's making its way across America ahead of the November midterm elections. KETV's Carson DuRall has more:

@willortner Next 3 are possible wins with our D…after that, no. He’s had several chances to be a starter but just isn’t that guy

Pete Carroll says winning championships was never actually the point

“It isn’t about winning the championship. It’s not about that. As soon as you win it, it’s over with. It’s in your back pocket. You’ve already done that.”

“That’s not the motivator. The motivator is to be the best you can possibly be. That’s ongoing. It never ends. I’m not a big goals guy.”

“Goals, you achieve them. To me, I want ongoing, never-ending aspirations of being great at what you’re doing. There is no one game that is the only game. There is no one accomplishment that’s the only accomplishment.”

“Can you come back again? Is that really who you are? Is that worth fighting for?”

“Can you be true to yourself? Can you really be yourself under all circumstances? No matter what happens, when you get your ass whipped in the freaking Super Bowl, when you had two in a row and you’re two seconds from doing it again, can you come back after that moment and still be who you are?”

“That was what the challenge was to me. As hard as that looked, as hard as it felt, and as hard as it was on all the people around me, I took it like this: ‘Okay, you knew this was going to happen sometime.’ ‘Are you going to be the real deal or not?’”

@tomrollman Not worried about Purdy at all

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Trump promised $5,000 stimulus checks from DOGE cuts. You got 0.

Trump promised $2,000 stimulus checks from tariffs. You got 0.

Trump promised $1,000 checks from Obamacare cuts. You got 0.

Trump promised $1.98 gas. You got $4+.

Trump now has more promises for you.

@willortner First game of year usually iffy…I’ll go with a 7 just because of defensive injuries. We’ll win but probably be a close game when it really shouldn’t. Gonzo signing right before kinda ticks me off.

Your glasses cost $5 to make. You paid $300. And one company you've never heard of is the reason why.

Luxottica owns Ray-Ban. They own Oakley. They own Persol. They own Oliver Peoples. They own Costa. They own Arnette. They make the glasses for Prada, Chanel, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Giorgio Armani, and Michael Kors. They own LensCrafters. They own Pearle Vision. They own Sunglass Hut. They own Target Optical. They own the online retailer https://t.co/kRIbMGKUAX. They own EyeMed the vision insurance provider that tells you where to buy your glasses. And they own the lab that makes your lenses.

One company controls the frames. The brands. The stores. The insurance. The lenses. And the price.

A guy spent 11 years working in the optical industry 4 in a lab making lenses, 3 managing a retail optical store, 4 consulting for independent eyewear brands trying to compete with Luxottica.

He told me: "The frame on your face cost between $2 and $5 to manufacture. The lenses cost $1.50 to $3. You paid $300–$700. That's not a markup. That's a scheme. And it only works because one corporation owns every step between the factory and your face and nobody knows it."

"There are 4 billion people on Earth who need vision correction. Most of them are paying a 1,000%–2,000% markup on a medical device they literally cannot live without because the entire industry from factory to face is controlled by one company pretending to be 50 different brands."

"The glasses on your face right now are almost certainly made in the same Italian factory as every 'luxury' brand on the wall at Sunglass Hut the store that Luxottica also owns."

Here are 10 things the glasses industry doesn't want you to know and exactly how to stop overpaying for a product that costs less than your morning coffee to make:
