We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.
Me standing in checkout lane at Costco and the woman behind me is wearing a “Gulf of America” shirt. She notices my smirk and asks me:
Her: You don’t like my shirt?
Me: Before I answer, may I ask your name?
Her: My name is Janet
Me: I don’t like that name, I’m gonna call you Margaret.
Her: But that’s not my name!
Me: Exactly
I finish paying for my purchases and walk away. I wonder if she got my point? 🙄😎
I’m a licensed pilot and I live in lower Manhattan, so it’s safe to say I care pretty deeply about never forgetting 9/11.
So please listen to me.
Zohran Mamdani did not do 9/11. It is absurdly racist and islamophobic to draw any association. He belongs at the memorial service.
it’s kind of crazy that we could have solved climate change 40 years ago and still had similar economic growth except like 11 oil executives wouldn’t have gotten as rich
I still think about the guy who pointed out that "the underlying purpose of Al is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth." Rarely have I seen Al described so succinctly.
Blaming a 14 year-old girl for being kidnapped by her father, assaulted by her father, impregnated by her father, forced to carry that baby for nine months by her father, forced to give birth on the side of the road by her father, and yet they are blaming her as if she’s an equal participant with the ability to give consent.
This is America
The U.S. House will be in session only 4 full days from July 24th to November 8th.
That’s 100 paid days off versus 4 full workings days plus 4 travel (half) days.
Meanwhile TRUMP says YOU have too many holidays.
I'm 2 times over odds even if it was the standard 1/64. A boatload of money spent on the deluxe pass and remote raid passes.
Literally no one is experiencing a boosted shiny rate.
Well done, @scopely@ScopelyExplore
Tesla pays $323 million dollars a year to China in taxes for their Chinese plant.... Tesla pays $0 dollars in taxes for it American plants.... and yet somehow a single mom working 2 jobs on food stamps is the problem with this country.... wake the fuck up!!!!
Someone asked me why I don’t talk about Trump as much as I used to. Because there are no words left to describe what we are witnessing. The entire administration belongs in prison.
The reason millennials are so nostalgic is that they got a brief taste of a world that wasn’t entirely controlled by the stupidest people who’ve ever lived.
It's extremely funny how debt is forgivable when it's tied to yachts, hedge funds, or failed businesses, but suddenly becomes a character flaw when it's tied to education, healthcare, or survival.
You ever noticed that it’s socially acceptable to tell poor people how to spend their money? But when we ask the rich to stop hoarding wealth, the response is always “it’s their money.”
