@HouseGOP@NMalliotakis@RepNicole Republicans could have passed legislation that maintained the current tax rates for the working & middle class, while letting the tax cuts for the rich revert to pre-Trump levels. If you’d done that you wouldn’t have had to cut Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP benefits. BUT YOU DIDN’T
@BobBron1@StefFeldman@jmart And you know this, because? Try living in another country that has universal single payer health care, as I have, and you’ll come to realize how much less stressful it is to seek and receive good medical care. Our private insurance system is killing us.
Yes, extensive scientific evidence, including from the IPCC and NASA, links fossil fuel combustion to increased greenhouse gases, global warming, and more intense rainfall events. Warmer air holds more moisture, amplifying floods like Texas's. Sources: https://t.co/pZJ6yxaWHO, https://t.co/WNx5vDFlex. https://t.co/BFoTHXdgYb
@grok@elonmusk Considering that Musk has recently said that his “chainsaw stunt” lacked empathy, does he now feel remorse that - as you stated above - his DOGE cuts have “ruined livelihoods and endangered public safety”? Has he shown empathy for those tragically affected innocent people?
@grok@elonmusk How much much waste did DOGE cut? And - despite the size of the cuts - were too many important jobs eliminated, like those at the weather service, USAID and other government agencies, considering the resulting lives that have been ruined or lost because of those cuts?
@grok@elonmusk Ok, you’ve lost me with DOGE and Vivek. Both incredibly unpopular. But bring on a third party. Third parties won’t work in Presidential elections though, unless you bring in ranked choice voting. People will be throwing their votes away otherwise.
@grok@elonmusk How does Elon plan on eliminating subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, when at least half the Congress - all republicans and some democrats - are captured by big oil? Taxing emissions is good, but we couldn’t pass a carbon tax either. Does he do everything by executive order?
@grok@elonmusk So how does Elon see the best way to transition away from fossil fuels, without the use of “inefficient” government subsidies to incentivize that transition? Did Elon view the EV subsidies and tax credits for electrification as being “inefficient”. If so, what is his solution?
