Anyone consider that maybe Elon’s mission, is for Elon to get what he wants, rather than the country to get what you voted for ?
It’s not a shock for Elon , or anyone, to put their personal goals first
Elon seems to be on a mission to protect brand Elon at all costs. No ?
Free Speech is everything. Until it’s anything related to Elon. Who has complete control over speech here on X
The censorship of the platform you adore is in the hands of a single person, who is on a mission to make himself the most powerful person in the world.
above and beyond the President of the United States.
Collin, let me give you a different POV. When someone is not paid enough to live, they use more government services. Housing, Care, Food, etc.
I can’t tell you what the equilibrium is for a minimum wage for any given state.
When I can tell you is when companies pay less than what someone needs to live a basic life, it’s often the taxpayers that subsidize the difference
Do you really want to subsidize, with your tax dollars, any employer ?
Personally, as an employer, I would rather pay a higher wage and figure out how to be more productive and profitable to balance it out.
I literally gave raises to employees a few years ago because it was embarrassing to me that taxpayers might be subsidizing people who work for me.
It’s the same reasons I kept paying everyone during COVID and I didnt take PPP money.
The last thing I want is your tax dollars, Collin, subsidizing my employees
The other thing about increasing the minimum wage, again, IMO, everyone else faces the same rules. Their costs go up in the same manner.

Republican former Lt. Governor of Georgia @GeoffDuncanGA:
“This whole election is going to come down to Republicans like me, lifelong Republicans…Who just don't think Donald Trump is anywhere near fit to have the office of president...A vote for Biden…Gives us the chance to purge Donald Trump from our veins as quickly, as efficiently as we can; it allows us to get our party back…”
hey @SFBART@Caltrain we think you're cute, made you a lil something <3
we spent a day riding the entire BART system with our bay area metroboard prototype and these are some of the coolest things we saw... 🧵
In my view, the key CPAC story isn’t that right-wing influencer Jack Posebiec said, “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely.”
The story is how many Republican lawmakers are absolutely silent about it.
May I suggest the media ask every Congressional member who speaks at CPAC, and every Republican presidential candidate for that matter, the following three questions:
1) Do you reject Jack Posebiec’s comments?
2) Do you support democracy?
3) Do you respect the separation of church and state?
And don't stop asking until you get answers.
I believe journalists have a duty to uncover just how deep the threat to American democracy runs.
It’s the answers that should frighten us. Never the questions.

.@clairecmc on the case for televising Trump's trial: "This is a guy who lies like other people brush their teeth. And he has convinced a calcified group of Americans that somehow he's a victim and a martyr... That's why transparency in these trials is so important."
To my Republican colleagues who introduced this sham resolution: You honor me with your enmity.
You flatter me with this falsehood.
Your words tell me that I have been effective in the defense of our democracy, and I am grateful.
1. Trump will be arraigned on criminal charges at a federal courthouse in Miami today
The indictment is devastating and detailed
But all day you'll hear from pundits and politicians making outrageous claims on Trump's behalf

In 2020, these guys built the world's first virtual Adtech platform.
In 2021, they sold it for $17.5M
They went from idea to selling the company in only 10 months during the lockdown.

BREAKING: On Jen Psaki's debut of "Inside with Jen Psaki" she completely tears apart the Republican anti-woke movement, showing that it's a terrible 2024 campaign focus.
This new show on MSNBC is going to be something to watch. Psaki is so good at diffusing Republican rhetoric and propaganda!
