@davidshepardson @AmericanAir @grok what software issue is this referring to?

[Jonathon Nield @jonathon_nield]

Maybe we should take a look at what caused companies to look abroad in the first place for outsourcing various manufacturing and service jobs. It's easy to say unfair labor practices are the problem, but there's more to the story when looking at why the U.S. isn't competitive.

a lot of tariff cheerleaders who love Milei should listen to this

@JJ_McCullough Proof that ideologues are more powerful than party ideology. I cant even wrap my mind around how conservatives defend this. Oh wait. Yes I can. They are lemmings.

“‘Emergencies’ have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded—and once they are suspended it is not difficult for anyone who has assumed such emergency powers to see to it that the emergency will persist.”

Trump’s tariffs aren’t just about trade.

They’re the start of a radical plan to rewrite the global economy.

It’s called the “Mar-a-Lago Agreement”—and it could shake the foundations of the dollar system.

Here’s what no one’s explaining 🧵

[Jonathon Nield @jonathon_nield]

The world is too complicated to only have two perspectives of "truth". Voters were presented with two options on election day under the false premise of "if not this, then that". Now here we are tearing our economy apart and opening the door to actual free-market economies to flourish at our expense.

Americans may have voted for lower prices—but under the banner of “tariff reciprocity,” the Trump administration is poised to deliver the opposite. Tariffs are taxes, and Americans will foot the bill. https://t.co/4wIvbQ4boy

My 14yo daughter is fighting for her life battling a high grade glioma and leptomeningeal disease (LMD). I asked Grok3 about research and clinical trials that could help her and I cannot believe how incredibly helpful and powerful the response was. Thanks @xai https://t.co/5jHyyb1ugD

@Reese10Angel How incredibly arrogant and narcissistic that not agreeing with you can only be because of pride. I think America is disappointed in you.

I could not disagree with Bernie more about how the real world works, but i also could not agree with him more about how the political system works.

Here's my conversation with @BernieSanders, one of the most genuine & fearless politicians in recent political history.

We talk about corruption in politics and how it's possible to take on old establishment ideas and win.

It's here on X in full, and is up everywhere else too. Links in comment.

@MarioNawfal Govt - im going to create an environment where it's going to cost you billions more to operate your business

Also govt - look at these corporate greedy monsters who are price gouging you!

The market would fix this if it was allowed to.

Happy Labor Day.

To celebrate, I've written an article on why you should not support labor unions.

They are anti-meritocratic cartels that achieve gains by harming the rest of society. If you are concerned with poverty, there are better ways to help. https://t.co/gVRv2CxljK

Soon, we expect Judge Alexandre de Moraes will order X to be shut down in Brazil – simply because we would not comply with his illegal orders to censor his political opponents. These enemies include a duly elected Senator and a 16-year-old girl, among others.

When we attempted to defend ourselves in court, Judge de Moraes threatened our Brazilian legal representative with imprisonment. Even after she resigned, he froze all of her bank accounts. Our challenges against his manifestly illegal actions were either dismissed or ignored. Judge de Moraes’ colleagues on the Supreme Court are either unwilling or unable to stand up to him.

We are absolutely not insisting that other countries have the same free speech laws as the United States. The fundamental issue at stake here is that Judge de Moraes demands we break Brazil’s own laws. We simply won’t do that.

In the days to come, we will publish all of Judge de Moraes’ illegal demands and all related court filings in the interest of transparency.

Unlike other social media and technology platforms, we will not comply in secret with illegal orders.

To our users in Brazil and around the world, X remains committed to protecting your freedom of speech.

-------------------

Em breve, esperamos que o Ministro Alexandre de Moraes ordene o bloqueio do X no Brasil – simplesmente porque não cumprimos suas ordens ilegais para censurar seus opositores políticos. Dentre esses opositores estão um Senador devidamente eleito e uma jovem de 16 anos, entre outros.

Quando tentamos nos defender no tribunal, o Ministro ameaçou prender nossa representante legal no Brasil. Mesmo após sua renúncia, ele congelou todas as suas contas bancárias. Nossas contestações contra suas ações manifestamente ilegais foram rejeitadas ou ignoradas. Os colegas do Ministro Alexandre de Moraes no Supremo Tribunal Federal estão ou impossibilitados de ou não querem enfrentá-lo.

Não estamos absolutamente insistindo que outros países tenham as mesmas leis de liberdade de expressão dos Estados Unidos. A questão fundamental em jogo aqui é que o Ministro Alexandre de Moraes exige que violemos as próprias leis do Brasil. Simplesmente não faremos isso.

Nos próximos dias, publicaremos todas as exigências ilegais do Ministro e todos os documentos judiciais relacionados, para fins de transparência.

Ao contrário de outras plataformas de mídia social e tecnologia, não cumpriremos ordens ilegais em segredo.

Aos nossos usuários no Brasil e ao redor do mundo, o X continua comprometido em proteger sua liberdade de expressão.

Harris set to propose a ban on price gouging.

Sad her 1st big policy announcement is economically illiterate.

"Gouging" didn't cause inflation, Biden's spending did.

Her naive staff could learn from these @EductionSITC students why “gouging” is good.
