🚨 Do you understand what just happened..
the White House rejected Elon's offer to pay TSA workers.. and everyone's arguing about Elon..
nobody's asking the real question..
why is a government that collects $4.4 trillion in taxes every year.. unable to pay airport security workers..
where did the money go..
you paid taxes last month.. so did your parents.. so did 160 million other Americans.. and somehow there's not enough to pay the people standing between you and a hijacking..
but there was enough for $886 billion in military spending.. enough for Congress to get their paychecks on time.. enough for a $1.1 trillion interest payment on debt they created..
the jets got funded.. the bombs got funded.. the politicians got funded.. the guy checking your bag at JFK did not..
and instead of fixing it they turned down free money because it came from the wrong person..
your government doesn't have a money problem.. it has a priority problem.. and you're not on the list..
When Obamacare was passed it’s approval among the public hovered around 30-40%. More than 80% of Americans support voter I.D. yet the SAVE Act remains in jeopardy.
This is the literal definition of “taxation without representation.”
Regardless of who sits in the Oval Office, I’ll stand with the parents of a murdered child.
I’ll stand on the idea that protecting American citizens comes first.
I’ll stand for our athletes who wore our flag and brought home gold.
I’ll stand against medicalizing kids without parental consent.
These aren’t “policy positions.”
They’re baseline human values.
If your entire political identity is just resist at all costs, even when what you’re resisting is the lowest-hanging fruit for common ground - it betrays your true incentives: power over people. The American people deserve better.
FINALLY time to renew my vehicle registration! I can't believe it's been a whole year since I paid $200 for the absolute privilege of driving the vehicle (that I paid for) on the roads (that I pay for), with the income left over after I give 40% to our moral superiors!
The problem isn't who spends 4-8 years in the White House.
The problem is who spends 30-40 years in Congress.
Congressional term limits are badly needed.
If outrage is going to exist, it needs to be consistent. Every life lost in this political war America has found itself in deserves the same grief, the same humanity, and the same accountability.
Hey, @oaklandroads can you remove the cones on the Orchard Lake overpass above 696 if you’re done working on it? No one has worked on it in over a month quite frankly it’s a huge inconvenience to have one side open and not the other.
