@jalen_xing Thought provoking 🤔

@TKralow @Cobratate @TateTheTalisman It’s kind of weird to say “spending $50k” to make a point about how committed you are to this when you’re only spending that much because you’re flying first class. You could also probably spend at least $10k less by flying economy and the impact would be the same

@GibbsCalhoun @BulwarkOnline @Timodc @piersmorgan This is great insight

@actingliketommy This is definitionally untrue

@MekNr4 @RichardHanania This is like saying physics is “proven wrong.” Economics is a field of study. Economics has theories, some of which you may disagree with, but is not a theory in and of itself.

@Doranimated This is not “[boarding] the Trump train.” Biden enacted higher tariffs on Chinese EVs than Trump and added additional protections that made it virtually impossible to have Chinese EVs on American roads.

@0neM4ns0p1n10n @GavinNewsom He tried to stop the 5% wealth tax (tax on billionaire net worth) in CA - what he’s proposing in this video is different from that

@crazy_stephen_i @brad_polumbo @HistoryBoomer That poor Harry Potter director who had everything taken from him 😖

The whole point is that eating meat doesn’t have this obvious upside, and if it did, it’s not at anywhere near the scale you’re describing

If ~80 billion animals (excluding marine life) are killed every year for meat, then at a rate of one million animals per pernicious disease cured, we’d be curing 80,000 pernicious diseases annually

@ReuelWilliams3 The majority of people working in slaughterhouses are people of color. These are people who have few other employment options and who bring their trauma from work home to their communities (which have seen increased rates of violence as a likely result).

@fatima__m7md Obama stopped being president almost 2 years before this happened

@TravlngCircus @TomSteyer I think this would only apply if you’re counting on the value of your house increasing in order to pay off your mortgage. Otherwise, no?? I understand the 08 implication, but I don’t think that’s as much of a risk today.

@unpopularOpzzz @Doomerzoomer @thomasunise Completely agree

@Doomerzoomer @thomasunise Completely disagree. Any prospective investor who sees this exchange should, and likely will, feel much more confident putting money into Phia. It shows that, despite her father’s wealth, she is extremely careful with investor money, even when it’s over a seemingly small sum.

@StatisticUrban Love it — looks a tiny bit like Singapore 🥲

@mrmccoyofficial @PopBase If this happened in every country, Netflix would prob cease to exist as a business or be far less good than it is now. Should j let them compete w other streaming giants even though the market is v concentrated among the top few.
