The Master Commander

Level 28

[Phil McAlister @phil_mcalister]

A few very obvious points on Mamdani's grocery stores:

1. The supply of the discounted groceries will run out on day 1, and every day there is a new shipment. This is basic econ 101.

2. This means only the people who are lucky enough or fast enough will get these discounted groceries. Expect to see the city ration these groceries in some other way. By income, or neighborhood or some lottery system.

3. Grocery margins are notoriously low as it is (like 2-3%). These stores will lose a bunch of money selling 30% below market, or they'll sell so little it will be insignificant.

4. There is absolutely zero chance that government bureaucrats can source these products from global supply chains as efficiently as Walmart, or Meier, or Whole Foods, whose survival depends on it. Their costs will be far higher (unless they use government bludgeon to force distributors to sell to them at lower prices).

5. It's actually an incredible triumph of capitalism that you can get a pound of bananas that were shipped to your neighborhood from Equador for like 60 cents, or fresh grapes from Chile in the dead of Midwestern winter for 2 bucks a pound, and Norwegian salmon to cook in Italian olive oil for $15 -20 bucks or so. Truly stop and think about that for a minute. It's a miracle.

The median full time hourly wage is around $31 dollars. For ONE HOUR of work, the median working American can get all of the groceries listed below, which is about 22,000 calories. They can feed themselves for 10 days (or a family of 4 for around 2 and a half days), with an hour of labor.

This is the stupidest industry for socialists to go after.

Did you guys know that DHS permits Sikhs to carry their weapons into secure government buildings even when no one else is permitted to carry their weapons?

[Fenix Ammo CEO @FenixAmmoHR]

Hey @nikitabier how is it that you took my money for business premium 2 days ago, and this morning our main account gets suspended?

This is outright fraud and theft.

[Shawn Ryan @ShawnRyan762]

$32 million dollars and an entire administration mobilized to destroy one congressman.
His crime?
Demanding answers about Epstein class abuse networks, and refusing to let child predators hide behind political cover.
If that level of firepower doesn't tell you who's being protected, nothing will.
Go Massie!

[Saagar Enjeti @esaagar]

GOP electeds buck Trump EVERY DAY on immigration, housing, credit card interest, Ukraine, Iran etc Trump not only says nothing but even ENDORSES them

Massie bucks him on Israel, Epstein, and sticking to his long held fiscal beliefs and all of a sudden its time for purity tests

[MajToure999 @MajToure]

Pay attention to ALL POLITICAL PUNDITS who went silent or opposed Massie today.

Unsubscribe from their platforms, stop sharing their content, call them the clowns they’ve shown themselves to be.

They’ve shown you where their allegiances truly lie and it’s no “take backsies” on that.

[Thomas Massie for Congress @MassieforKY]

@realDonaldTrump Is this the one?

[Thomas Massie for Congress @MassieforKY]

I did not see this coming, but my election has become an inflection point for our whole country. Today we make history.

Will you be part of this historic day by voting, calling friends who can vote, posting to social media, or making a donation?

Spread the word fellow patriots!

Speaker: “For what purpose does the gentleman seek recognition?”

“Mr. Speaker, I came here to make sure our republic doesn’t die by unanimous consent in an empty chamber, and I request a recorded vote.”

Jesus LITERALLY SAID:

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 14:6

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

On Monday Marco Rubio said that we cannot allow Iran to have control over the strait of Hormuz, picking and choosing who enters and what currency they use.

There is a very important reason why the administration feels this way: because it would be the greatest military defeat in US history.

We lost in Vietnam and Afghanistan in a sense but never like this. If we leave now with the new status quo being Iran controls the strait then we have transformed a relegated, isolated, sanction crippled nation into a global power.

Leaving now is an admission of a tremendous defeat and it’s also the best possible thing to do.

This is the trap that Trump is now in all because he listened to Netanyahu and launched the insane war of choice.

Today I asked an abortion advocate what her favorite method of abortion is.

In case anyone was wondering why Democrat Rep Dave Min is scootering to work and not driving his car….

It’s because he was arrested for drunk driving and was sentenced to three years probation

Jonathan Frakes 'Beyond Belief' clips played at half speed make him sound like a drunk dude at the bar

When Somali pirates rake in billions in daycare fraud, the “wheels of justice turn slowly.” But when an American soldier bets on himself and his team, Kash suddenly finds his balls. Curious.

[War Doll @thewardoll]

The soldier placed a bet and used his own life and blood as a wager.

Every penny was earned.
