Seems like if we're really concerned that capital will displace labor, we should start by closing the 16 percentage point tax advantage capital enjoys over labor.

I still regularly see people who consider themselves “health conscious” adding avocados to their meals which is crazy to me

“Nice I just made a healthy meal time to add 13 grams of what is essentially just seed oils, I am very smart by the way”

[TrumpGrift Capital🇺🇦 @Crussian17]

Oil down over 5% on an absolute made up deal that’s already being walked back, the levels of manipulation are mind blowing and just makes me think that oil has potential for a monster squeeze up

[signüll @signulll]

“can i start you off with an appetizer, maybe 30 tortillas?”

“god no, i can’t eat that many tortillas!”

“how about if cut them up into triangles, fry them in seed oil, & serve them with some salsa?”

“omg that sounds delightful”.

In a stable money society, the only thing a person needs to know is to spend less than he earns, and to save. Such a society is perfect for the middle class that just wants to build a home and continue the society.

And it’s better for interest rates to be moderately high, so he can earn bank interest - because the average person has no time or inclination to engage in stock and real estate speculation. Higher interest rates also mean house prices are lower - because they are a place to live and not a speculative investment.

The only people who win on low interest rates are sophisticated schemers who can borrow at zero and make wild investment bets. If they go bad they walk away or file for bankruptcy on the special purpose entity set up for the play. If they score - they take all the gains, and then go on TV and claim special knowledge to credulous CNBC hosts.

We are living in a casino capitalism society that works against middle class savers who just want to contribute to their community.

Sellers: I'm going to finish because you're being utterly disrespectful. Don’t be a dick.

O’Leary: I’m not a dick

This interview is only 49 minutes long because @DouthatNYT threw himself out of the nearest window halfway through.

When you're sad you can either become and emotional eater or an emotional lifter.
The latter is so much better.

The difference between Abby Phillip and Jerry Springer is that Jerry Springer owned up to what he was doing.

“Let’s subsidize a loss leader at a membership-only warehouse store”

Just absolutely retarded

How do people who look this mentally unstable move up so far in politics

[Defiant L’s @DefiantLs]

Porter: I’m a notoriously tough grader, I’d give Newsom a ‘B’ on homelessness.

Hilton: Wow! I’d love to be in your class Katie, if you get a ‘B’ for what Gavin Newsom’s done on homelessness.

[Senator Jim Justice @JimJustice_WV]

It’s plain common sense: a hot rotisserie chicken is a healthy, easy meal for busy families. Folks on SNAP should be able to grab one on the go.

That’s why @SenFettermanPA, @SenCapito, @SenatorBennet, and I introduced the Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act. 🐓

[P.T. Ward @HTWardish]

Say it with me slowly, Joe: Iran never had a ban on building a nuclear weapon. The “fatwah” was meant for gullible Marxists in the West so they could do their propaganda for them. You really don’t need to keep doing this, remember who you are.

One of the worst communication gaps is between people who care about precision in language and those who don’t

[Glass Half @glasshalf_]

Is there an objective source (to the extent that’s possible) laying out the current U.S. actions in Iran as part of a broader China proxy war strategy?

Something besides the whole “Israel dragged us in” narrative that often is repeated here

[Bucket Shop Capital @bucketshopcap]

Most of the "life debates" here are worthless, esp. from the Fintwit crowd. SHOULD I BUY A HOME? SHOULD I HAVE KIDS?? It all comes down to people who over-optimize b/c they spend all day in Excel & think that's how life works vs. ppl who "get it". The latter have learned...
