I would change my profile background in a heartbeat if America stopped bankrolling and backstopping Israel. Until then, i will likely remain shadow-bound.

@JillCo It is sustainably impoverishing until it has disappeared the middle class. It can take a while to do that.

@Fair_and_Biased @megynkelly It shows that she has more integrity than you and that she can think for herself, instead of being told what to think. It is disappointimg to see people on the right cant recognize a socialist demagogue when they aee one out of some kinda loyalty.

@ChrisMartzWX The question that would make all those other questions moot is why does the government need revenue.

@DeTocqueville14 @Reuters Well said.

These things are not owed to you, you chose to have 1600 in rent and 280 internet, those can easily be reduced. You can invest in yourself to acquire higher value skills to get a higher wage or salary. And if you insist on participating in politics, you could pick the side that will raise your taxes the least in the long run. Or you could always start a business if you have savings to risk, and grab some of those entrepreneurial profits that might even make you rich. You could stop whining about how hard it ia to do all that and do it like many did.

[Edmond Bugos @ebugos]

Maybe too basic but i dont think most people even know what capitalism and socialism are or are not. Let alone what made america great in the 1st place. Whats a recession is good for austrian noobs. Really depends on the audience you want to cultivate. I think you pick pretty good topics normally, fwiw. Sometimes too far off the beaten path, and sometimes you spend too much time in the weeds. But the topic you pick often sucks me in! :)

[Edmond Bugos @ebugos]

It is truly astonishing how many socialists simply do not understand capitalism, let alone socialism. And of course their ignorance is easy to exploit.

[Edmond Bugos @ebugos]

Capitalism doesnt do that. The state does that by monopolizing land that could be developed (limiting supply of housing) and through the Fed by inflating the average price of a house, as well as incentivizing welfare. As Mises said, unemployment is not a feature of the free market system.

[Edmond Bugos @ebugos]

@iwelsh Growth comes from investment. The poor dont invest because they are poor. Taxes eat into investment whether you are rich or poor, so any taxe reduces investment, growth, and standards of living for the poor. Nevrmind that it is the rich people's investment that create jobs.

[Edmond Bugos @ebugos]

@kevinduffy1929 So retarded.

[Edmond Bugos @ebugos]

@mitrajoy_ I work harder than anyone on welfare you dimwit. People like you make me sick, you are so ignorant.

China’s grip on lithium to hit 39% by 2030: WoodMac

Such headlines are intended to incite nationalist pride, and give planners and interventionists a free hand.

Ths US dollar became the world reserve currency long before the so called petrodollar deal. It replaced the pound as one after WW1. How else do you think it was able to create the bretton woods deal after WW2? The petrodollar deal was just a bandaid required from the fallout of the bretton woods collapse in 1971.

[Edmond Bugos @ebugos]

It is a curious matter how economists will admit that in reality we do not have free markets, yet they will call their failed interventions market failures. There is a lot of cognitive dissonance in this real world.

[Edmond Bugos @ebugos]

Tips should be merit based as they were conceived, not a racket like they have become coz you all feel sorry for waitresses and waiters. The business should pay them a higher wage if their productivity warrants, which it probably does relative to $3.50.

[kira 👾 @kirawontmiss]

tipping culture is getting ridiculous

Israel had little to nothing to do with these things:

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) was invented by an Indian-American computer architect named Ajay Bhatt, along with a specialized engineering team at Intel.

Cherry tomatos originate from South America, specifically the Andean region of Peru, Ecuador, and Chile, where the wild species (Solanum pimpinellifolium) still grows tiny, pea-sized red fruits.

The seedless watermelon was created by Dr. Hitoshi Kihara, a prominent Japanese geneticist and professor at Kyoto University.
