Vought is proud to partner again with the newly relaunched FBSA for a brighter and safer future. As you know, we’ve summarily fired every Superhero who supported Homelander, and now someone needs to keep the streets safe from these dangerous malcontents. We look forward to working closely with whoever President Singer chooses as the FBSA's new head!

[Vought International @VoughtIntl]

Vought is actively reviewing all mandates and legislation passed during the Homelander era and seeking to right any wrongs. Today, we can confirm that posting Homelander memes like this one on social media is now legal again, and any patriots who were charged with seditious online activity will be granted a clean slate!

@Gianl1974 Market capitalism, the worst economic system, except for all other economic systems that have ever been tried.

@ddiamond I mean, he does have a terminal condition known as being 80; a medical checkup every 4 months doesn't seem so extreme given that he is the president of the United States.

@Mbakaza4L I mean, a fire is never welcome, but wouldn’t a holocaust imply intentionality, and not just a fire caused by whatever is yet to be determined sweeping through a refugee camp?

These kinds of posts drive me crazy because they are so disconnected from reality.

1) They misunderstand the problem and the solutions available.

The government already spends more money on these issues than people like Musk and Bezos ever could.

The United States spends 40-50 billion USD every single year on homelessness. This spending has not solved the issue. We spend another 32 billion USD annually on just child nutrition programs. That spending has also not solved the issue. Even if Musk and Bezos could magically liquidate all their assets and ignoring the severe consequences to millions of doing so, why would a few hundred more billion magically solve these issues?

That current tax spending btw is at least partially available because of the tax revenue created by the economic activity that Bezos and Musk help create.

2) This also ignores the actual value people like Musk and Bezos bring to so many people, and even on the very issues mentioned.

Jeff Bezos already committed 102.5 million USD just in 2025 to organizations fighting homelessness (which the original poster magically ignores), but that's not where the real value is.

Amazon employs about 1.58 million people. The activity they create is responsible for far more jobs. Not only does that mean a service that millions now rely on and improves the lives of Americans, but that's a lot of families avoiding homelessness, unemployment, and hunger.

Elon Musk's companies employ over 150K people. Again, they are also responsible for far more upstream jobs.

He's done more to encourage the shift from gas to electric vehicles than any government mandate ever could, which should please environmentalists. The spaceship stuff is about long-term sustainability and finding solutions to Earth's resource scarcity that could save billions of lives in the long term. I haven't even mentioned the number of lives Starlink has helped and saved, including in war zones and after natural disasters.

It's insane that none of this is ever taken into account by the people who are hyper-focused exclusively on the fact that Musk and Bezos have simultaneously created a lot of wealth for themselves while helping so many others. You don't have to worship billionaires or like these specific individuals to recognize the value they have brought and the fact that they already do a lot to help solve the very issues you claim to be concerned over.

@DDavidSteele1 @Craig_A_Spencer @nytimes Because "viral hemorrhagic fever" is the umbrella category. Ebola is the specific disease/virus family people are talking about. Calling Ebola "hemorrhagic fever" is like calling measles "a viral illness": not wrong, just much less specific.

@BobbiDavisbob @Grumpy_MAGA @AndrewDesiderio @realDonaldTrump @StephenM Actually, when Trump's tax files leaked, it wasn't Biden who was president; it was Trump himself.

[Bourgeois mfer 🇺🇸 @ghunkinking]

@Grumpy_MAGA @AndrewDesiderio @realDonaldTrump @StephenM The judge was about to dismiss the whole shabang; Trump would have gotten nothing.

@CommonS54895316 @Eventzon @billybinion @militech_en It was taxed as long-term capital gains, which is what it was. And again, that’s in the past; it can’t be taxed again. He could now put it in a zero-interest bank account and still never run out of money.

[Bourgeois mfer 🇺🇸 @ghunkinking]

@Eventzon @billybinion @militech_en No, it was bought with him selling his Amazon shares from then 14% to now 9%, but that's done; that can't be taxed again. That was a one-time tax event that is in the past.

@brianonhere @wfdltd When measured by the dictionary definition of zionist (the belief that Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state) well over 80% of US jews are Zionist, yours truly included.

@ATS8669 @ThanksRolf @ChrisPh99503737 @Unixsystem13 @allie__voss I wasn't answering you; that's another discussion.

[Bourgeois mfer 🇺🇸 @ghunkinking]

@TonyPharaohno @ATS8669 @MustBeTheHero So you are accusing 80-90%of American jews to be nazis?

[Bourgeois mfer 🇺🇸 @ghunkinking]

@ThanksRolf @ChrisPh99503737 @Unixsystem13 @allie__voss Sure why not over a decade invested in an index fund at least the down payment.

[Bourgeois mfer 🇺🇸 @ghunkinking]

@ThanksRolf @Unixsystem13 @allie__voss You don’t have to cut back on food per se, but eating out was never the norm in American history. And as a McDonald’s franchise owner, raising salaries is one of the main reasons we had to increase prices across the board. We now start hires at $14.60.

[Bourgeois mfer 🇺🇸 @ghunkinking]

@ThanksRolf @Unixsystem13 @allie__voss Not eating out 5 days a workweek isn't living in poverty; that's not living like you are on an expense account.

[Bourgeois mfer 🇺🇸 @ghunkinking]

@dungface3 @MoosaTayler @AaronCornielle The $5 footlong was a money-losing disaster for franchise owners forced on them by corporate.

@deeplore5 @DReynolds5294 I disagree that the economy is doing poorly in general. It isn’t doing as well as it could, especially if the idiotic Iran war hadn’t happened, but all in all it’s still pretty robust, and I say that as someone who actually employs people in revenue-generating businesses.

[Bourgeois mfer 🇺🇸 @ghunkinking]

@deeplore5 @DReynolds5294 I'm in denial of what exactly? If he had used housing, yes, he would have had a great case, but he used something that was never normal, so his whole argument failed.
