Pete Buttigieg: "If we had a more reasonable rate of taxation on capital gains and corporate income, and made it harder to pass along inherited wealth..." We can have fast trains here in the United States.
How is that project doing in California Pete?
Did you know that cows kill about the same amount of people every yesr as pits?
Fun fact, 100k's people every year from medical malpractice. It's usually the 3rd leading cause of death. No one cares.
But totally, ban pit bulls
Lately, I’ve seen a lot of intense pit bull fear here on X, and much of it is absolute nonsensical graphs and stats. Here's the real stats:
The absolute risk of being killed by one of the pit bull breeds in the U.S. is extremely low - roughly 1 in 12–13 million per year based on long-term averages around 25–30 fatalities annually.
By comparison, the chance of being struck by lightning in a given year is less than 1 in a million. Both are extremely rare events.
Most serious incidents involve known dogs and preventable factors (supervision, containment, ownership practices). Stats don’t erase individual tragedies, but they do put the national risk in perspective.
Ever feel like you're being watched? You might be right.
But Flock Safety cameras aren't interested in you—unless you're a kidnapper, a thief, or up to no good.
@SulkinMaya dives into why people need to stop destroying tech that's actually stopping crime.
Today is a good reminder that most folks have no concept of risk analysis... and will lose their shit over a 0.00006% issue and wholly ignore the actual serious ones.
Chef here.
Yes, cooking at home is cheaper... but that doesn't discredit the reality that cost of living has skyrocketed in the last 6yrs.
Don't be a cunt.
Last night, my wife made homemade burritos for our family of 8 and it cost less than $20 total for everyone.
Im beginning to think the affordability crisis is really an “I don’t know how to cook” crisis
@MLiamMcCollum Many of those "free market conservatives" are just quim establishment wankers who only want to enrich themselves... and we pathetically them.
From the river to the sea is just a friendly chant of solidarity right?
Doesn't matter, 75% of jews in MI are hard left... and said fuck all about the red-green issues.
Good luck idiots, we warned you but you voted for it anyways.

The reason it was a bit different in 2024 is that we had just come off a record inflation rate of around 10%, and wages weren't catching up. It was a painful few years. Trump has managed to bring that inflation down (although I acknowledge he could do more), and wages have now mostly caught up.
There's still an affordability issue worth addressing, but we've kind of migrated away from the comment I was originally replying to, which was a kid complaining that his fast-food burrito was $20. Cook at home. And by the way, I was saying that same stuff in 2024 too.
Two things can be true at once- there's an affordability issue, and you have more power to improve your situation than you think.
