Have you watched Landman yet? This is the California version with the State of California ensuring California motorists & taxpayers suffer the most.

Maker vs taker.
Go build a life.

[jay plemons @jayplemons]

The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.

Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.

Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.

As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”

Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.

Time to choose your side.

Some of you might be upset when you read they can track your pets implanted microchips in your car, in traffic. What about the rest of us? Nobody's freaking business!

For context, one shows voluntary, honorable guests who do the same at public or in their home, the other entitled and lacking any dignity, also acting like this in public or in their New York home. Leave the world a better place, or leave the world.

It's not a crisis, it is an alignment.
The shifting political clout is called representation.
Citizens warned about this for years. Can we assume some of this is non-citizen relocation?

One more reason to keep your dog on a leash.

Strawberries used to be red through and through. Most now are white inside and appear coated red on parts of the outside. Certainly not edible. Haven't been in a long time.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Most Americans know Driscoll's strawberries have been linked to cancer causing chemicals by now and if you leave them out, wildlife won’t eat them

But it’s not just the Driscoll's brand. If you try and leave out other brands like Aldi it’s the same thing. Animals won’t eat them and there is a reason for that

Strawberries are consistently ranked near the top of the EWG’s Dirty Dozen list because they are grown close to the ground. Because of that they require heavy pest and fungus management

A May 2026 Mamavation lab test, one conventional Driscoll’s sample from a California store, found residues of 12 pesticides, including several fluorinated ones sometimes described as PFAS-like “forever chemicals.”

It’s because of all these chemicals that many times wildlife avoid them

They're working on doing a similar scam with diapers. Refer to one of my earlier posts. It's all out in the open with our #taxdollars #Corrupción #californiataxdollars

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

WOAH 🚨 Gavin Newsom launched a program that spend $23 million dollars on hearing aids for kids

5 years later only 300 hearing aids have been given out

That’s a cost of $76,666 per hearing aid

Retail costs for these same hearing aids is roughly $1,400

Gavin Newsom pushed lawmakers toward a state-run program instead of requiring private insurers to cover the pediatric hearing aids

If the retail cost is $1,400 and the state only provided 300, then that’s a cost of $420,000

Yet Gavin Newsom spent $23,000,000

I actually looked into where this money allegedly went, and officially it went to “administrative and overhead costs” instead of providing hearing aids

In other words, money laundering

People, it's not about the kitties, puppies, or their puppy dog eyes. It's one more of the money laundering scams that don't require taxpayer money. Do what you want without our #Californiataxes

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

This is the California nonprofit scam

The "nonprofit" San Diego Humane Society is sitting on over $100 million dollars

Total annual revenue: $72.9 million
Salaries and compensation: $45.3 million
The CEO makes $40,000+ per month

It’s gets $10 million from taxpayers every year

So to recap, they take in $73 million, and spend $45 million of it on salaries instead of expanding services like spay, neuter, rescue and adoption helping animals…..

Nonprofits are a scam. It’s money laundering and fraud. Abolish nonprofits
