"No one is ever a victim, although your conquerors would have you believe in your own victimhood. How else could they conquer you?" - Barbara Marciniak
@tloyd16@Trav_Sol@katsuxbt No you ignorant son a bitch. It’s LITERAL trillions in welfare programs to pay for the coke n Doritos to ingrate leeches like you
This isn't surprising to me, but it's almost certainly much worse than most people think, especially if they graduated from university 20 more more years ago.
@DrewNederpelt@piersmorgan Conservatives n republicans may “threaten” (if that’s what you wanna call THAT), but violence only comes from the progressives over n over n over n over n over….n over…n over n over again
Seeing the despicably cruel, heartless and abusive way that many people in UK and US have responded to the deaths of conservative politicians, Ann Widdecombe and Lindsey Graham, reminds me that the least kind people on earth are ironically those on the #BeKind woke left.
.@friedberg says "California is functionally bankrupt":
"People don't realize how screwed California is. I worry that if California falls, so does the union."
"We're $250 billion to $1 trillion short."
"If it was the federal government, they would just print more money. California doesn't have the ability to print money, so California has to pay this out, and you can't restructure retirement benefits."
"There's a Supreme Court case in California that said once an employee has been offered retirement benefits, even if they're currently an employee, you can never restructure their retirement benefits. It has to stay forever."
"And the state cannot declare bankruptcy. There's no way for the state to functionally declare bankruptcy. There's no law to allow it."
"No state has ever declared bankruptcy, and the the retirement benefits sit senior to the bonds in California. So you have to pay out the retirement benefits before you pay out all the bond holders that have loaned California the money that they use to run all their programs and services."
" This isn't about taxes and Billionaire Tax Act. I don't think you can tax your way out of this problem. People will just leave the state."
"California's functional bankruptcy is a major risk to the country and we need to figure out what we can change to fix it."

Fascinating.
Messi earns around $1.5 million *per week* from football + football-related commercial deals.
Who do you think builds the stadiums he plays in? Makes the kits he sells? Mans the cameras which broadcast his "product" to the world? Cleans the dressing room he changes in? Makes the food supporters buy in the stadium? Brews the beer fans buy in the stadium? Sells the beer fans buy in the stadium? Cuts the grass he plays on? Makes the boots he wears and the millions of replica boots he sells?
All of these people's labour goes into making him $1.5 million a week.
What do you think the ratio of his weekly earnings is to those people? He earns around $80 million a year from football alone which is approximately 5 times the average top 500 US CEO so by your logic he is FAR more "exploitative" than they are.
The fact that you don't understand this proves my original point perfectly. Thank you for your help.
Comparing the California High Speed Rail to Elon Musk’s SpaceX
This is how criminally inefficient California's bureaucracy has become
- The California High-Speed Rail Authority is 6 years older than SpaceX
- Total private funding for SpaceX was $12 billion, whereas California's high-speed rail is projected to cost $231 billion by the time it's completed (That's 2,000% more funding than SpaceX had)
In the same amount of time, California has laid zero miles of high-speed rails while SpaceX has developed a reusable rocket, delivered astronauts and saved astronauts from the International Space Station, and as of today has a $2.5 trillion market cap
Elon Musk will literally have been able to send people to Mars at a fraction of the cost and at a fraction of the amount of time that it's taken Gavin Newsom just to send Californians up the coast
Europeans and American patriots!
Tomorrow, the courts of my country, France, may decide to send me to prison for daring to say on television that “the main danger to women in France is Black African and Arab immigrant men.”
Meanwhile, my own attacker, a Tunisian migrant, is still at large.
I need your help to generate media pressure and hope to be acquitted.
They cannot silence the truth!
Thank you for your support 💪🏻🇫🇷
government destroys value.
in this case, the value of an American education was destroyed in ~40 years.
if there’s no marketplace for customers (parents of students) to demand value (quality of education for price paid) by simply going to another service provider (school or educator), it is inevitable that costs will go up and quality will go down.
this is true of any service provided by government, which effectively grants itself a monopoly, deleting the opportunity for other service providers to compete in offering better value to customers/citizens…
🚨 MIDNIGHT TAX INCREASES!
In the dead of night, California legislators passed massive new taxes on insurance, digital software, and employee payroll taxes.
Don’t let anyone fool you this isn’t the federal government’s fault. The math isn’t mathing.
California just passed a $355 billion record budget with record revenue. Yet my colleagues still blame the President.
For context: The state budget was around $170 billion just 10 years ago. Now it’s more than doubled and life in California doesn’t feel any easier.
Sacramento has an insatiable appetite for your hard-earned money. If you’re not paying attention, they will keep taking more.
Here's a photo from the Seoul Queer Festival this weekend. The sign says in Korean, "get the white chauvinistic religion out."
The irony? Every one of their LGBTQ identities is imported Western degeneracy:
• Queer = 퀴어
• Lesbian = 레즈비언
• Gay = 게이
• Transgender = 트랜스젠더
• Non-binary = 논바이너리
All English loanwords. Korean never had any words to describe LGBTQ identities & categories until the 20th century because they were so foreign & unthinkable for most of Korean history. All of the current LGBTQ terms are modern borrowings that entered Korean through contact with Western sexological concepts.
These degenerates don't hate Western influence, they hate goodness, truth, and order (Christianity). They import and adopt the worst, most diseased parts of the West today.
It's demonic.
