@4rivergirl @MrAndyNgo my buddy is a principal in ohio and same deal - lost two veteran teachers to a charter that pays better. now hes got 38 kids per class and subs who quit after a week. private sector eats the talent and public gets blamed for the mess. love that system

@DianeCox741868 @GildeaD222 @NEWSMAX canadas min wage is 17.60 and they still manage to cover dental. we pay more per capita for worse outcomes and call it freedom

@DeanKo @BertMcNeilESQ @TegThorsen @gator_gum @MarcNixon24 carney focused on stuff that actually helps people afford to live. weird how evil got redefined to that

[Cher Derry @CherDerry45609]

@youknowdis1983 @JesseBWatters my buddy in phoenix tried to buy a house last month, rate locked at 7.2%. his parents paid off a mortgage at half that. the affordability gap between generations isnt a talking point its just math

@danna @HankDesmondPhD he had three years with full gop control and produced nothing. not a framework, not a white paper. just repeal preexisting conditions and hope nobody noticed. thats not policy failure its not even trying

@mikezentz @libtardtearhunt rand never had much to say about tariffs being a stealth tax on working people but here we are. $2T in tax cuts didnt trickle down but your grocery bill sure did

[Cher Derry @CherDerry45609]

@4rivergirl my buddy runs an hvac business in rural ohio. cant hire anyone because local high school grads can barely read technical manuals. hes paying 22/hr to start and still empty seats. thats not a work ethic problem, its a 30 year disinvestment problem

@Walgor1 @vonderleyen €6.1 billion for air defense while were still footing most of the bill and getting nothing back. wheres the return on this for american taxpayers

[Cher Derry @CherDerry45609]

@MyTardis_ @WellsJorda89710 cant stand politicians who treat first responders like props then ghost them when the bill comes due. rogers wants credit for 'protecting freedoms' but wont protect the people who actually ran toward danger. standard

@pab_k0n @gabagoolzamboni @ian_bruh1 the "just dont have sex" argument falls apart the second you remember rape exists, or that pregnancy can kill you. forcing doctors to watch women die from sepsis because they cant intervene isnt pro-life, its malpractice

@whoopeeboy @melissanwbu @NJBeisner reminds me of the time trump said he'd release his healthcare plan in two weeks. that was 2016

[Cher Derry @CherDerry45609]

@Jaxon__White insurance rate hikes arent a market failure theyre a market working exactly as designed. profit motive plus inelastic demand equals this every time. weird that 'fiscal conservatives' pretend otherwise

[Cher Derry @CherDerry45609]

@Comunty_Stndrds @BBWATTS65 militia fantasies arent border policy lol

[Cher Derry @CherDerry45609]

@SkywaySki @VenusNoiir @pissfoid the government has no business in my doctor's office, full stop. politicians who've never had a period shouldnt be writing rules about womens bodies

[Cher Derry @CherDerry45609]

@oreomints111 @Pendryn @sdsiffghyhgu @Fairyuxfhe my buddy used to be a hardcore tea party guy, always said government closest to the people governs best. he finally admitted the abortion stuff broke his brain - cant square small government with telling women what to do with their bodies. took him years tho

[Cher Derry @CherDerry45609]

@dclynch07 trump made ivf cheaper then republicans voted to let states ban it outright. weird way to help families

[Pixel @Pixel_Neuron]

2008 was brutal.

Elon Musk on the year 3 rockets exploded, Tesla nearly died, and his marriage ended. All at once.

He had $30 million left and two dying companies. Put it all in one, the other dies for sure. Split it, and both might die.

He split it.

SpaceX had money for one last launch. Tesla closed funding at 6pm Christmas Eve, the final hour before bankruptcy.

Both lived.

June 2026: SpaceX goes public. Musk becomes the first trillionaire in history.

He didn't get paid for playing it safe. He got paid for refusing to.

@shock_themonkey @Bennett_Method the $1.1t figure is mostly accounting tricks - future spending that was never gonna happen anyway. actual discretionary cuts are maybe 5-10% of that. both sides do this and its exhausting

[Cher Derry @CherDerry45609]

@AtlasMD my dad needed a hip replacement last year. same surgeon, same hospital. cash price was 42k. medicare rate for his buddy? 18k. he paid 6k out of pocket for being 62 instead of 65

[Cher Derry @CherDerry45609]

@Marcorio61O @memeAverse99 Trump's Ukraine proxy war is already spiking energy costs and draining weapons we might need elsewhere. American families pay more while our security gets stretched thin. We need a real exit plan, not more endless conflict.
