Imagine waking up tomorrow and every billionaire vanished.
Most people would still go to work.
Food would still be grown.
Roads would still be built.
Hospitals would still operate.
Now imagine every worker vanished.
That's the difference between wealth and value.
@SkylarSkye3 As you are witnessing on your trip, the USA is a very large country (2,500 miles E to W). We had a massive growth in the 1930's-1960's - and it was built by cars. Not railroads - but highways, interstate roads, etc. We love our cars and drive-thru convenience is prioritized.
@FreddyLA7 Congrats on your rapid rise to fame - and hundreds of thousands of new followers. I'm one of them and am loving following your adventure. -- Sorry about the scammers impersonating you - IG thats part of fame now. - Keep exploring America! Roll Tide.
Buttigieg: We didn't know it, but we've all been trusting our lives to the restraint of whoever the president might be. And now we have a president who is completely unrestrained. And so the only answer to that is a functioning Congress.
It turns out we do not have a functioning Congress. The House of Representatives is not representative. One of the most important organs of our democracy is not democratic.
They say, "Oh, no. We're not manipulating the map to disempower black people. We're manipulating the map to disempower Democrats who happen to be black people.”
So, the time has come to make it impossible to manipulate the map for any reason and just have fair maps.
@danielsgoldman The young have so much to teach us. Us olds are cynical after decades of disappointment…. But my son is optimistic and hopeful. That’s the lesson. Be hopeful and optimistic about life - it’s so much better for all of us.
Tim Walz (Gobernador de Minnesota): «Estamos hartos. Un presidente débil, imprudente e idiota nos ha metido en una guerra que nadie pidió.
No existía ninguna amenaza. No se fijaron objetivos. No hay ningún plan de salida. Esto es puro fascismo».
Más claro, imposible.
@gtconway3d But is it? The fans and supporters of the team- shouldn’t go because a selfish asshole is only going for a photo opp? 50,000 fans are grossly inconvenienced for this prick? GFY with that thinking!
@gtconway3d We went through the same crap at Alabama when they played Georgia Fall 2024. He wasn’t even elected then - he was running.
He came there. Everyone had to be inside 2 1/2 hrs early disrupted the entire thing for hours. Stayed all of 15 minutes for the photo and then left.
Whether he's pardoning men who smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into the United States, men who defrauded Medicare for billions, or men who were convicted of insider trading, Trump has made a mockery of the presidential pardon, and future laws will have to change because of him.
