Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

What he said.

[LayoffHedge @LayoffAI]

9 of every 10 new American jobs since pre-COVID went to someone born outside the country.

Triple checked the data. It's real.

+4.3M foreign-born.
+471K native-born.
Meanwhile, 335,000+ American layoffs in 2026.

HOW DO WE ALLOW THIS?

Hello everyone! I just wanted to address some things about my stay in Detroit as I've seen some wild theories out there.

Visiting Detroit is extremely costly. It cost me around USD 3k for the flights alone! I paid for most of the food I had (excluding a few times like when the Dearborn mayor showed me around). I eat tons as you've seen so that's again a lot of money. The collaboration instagram posts with restaurants and Detroit accounts like Greektown, Dearborn, Riverwalk, DIA etc were to help promote and highlight various areas in Detroit, mostly requested collab from them and were definitely not paid for at all.

The only paid collaboration I had during my visit was with Sam Bernstein - because they offered to pay for my hotel during my visit. (and a signed Cade jersey, I probably would've done collab posts just for that alone lol)

I have a pretty regular job here in Korea. I constantly save my money just to visit Detroit and spend my savings away there. It's my passion and I love every moment of doing it, although I know it's not the smartest way of managing my finances.

So yeah, I just wanted to get that off my chest. I'm no sleeper agent, industry plant, looking to steal your culture, or someone looking to profit off my fame. I did get some special treatment from teams and I understand if some of you are frustrated at that - I also agree that local fans need as much love. I'm not saying that you should like me, but I just want you to know I'm human too so I do get hurt by hateful comments. I just wanted you to understand I'm just a fan of the city like you and it just happens that I live 7,000 miles away.

I love Detroit, and can't wait to be back!

Any company that has layoffs should be banned from requesting new foreign visa workers of any kind for at least 5 years. They shouldn’t be able to renew or convert to green card either

@ShamsCharania none of this matters when Adam Silver will just rig the draft and send lottery picks to organizations of his choosing

[Alex @purps_sol]

Pirates/Mets - Nope
White Sox/Brewers - Nope
Cubs/Nationals - Nope

@MLB - What are we doing here. $150 spent on MLB TV for what?

This is an embarrassment to the sport.

I say this every year. Baseball starting the season with anything other than day baseball games in America is a disgrace to the flag and whoever approved this should be thrown in prison for life @MLB

@officialctpod @971theticketxyt @HonoluluBlues_ @the_det_times @boonersports @jeffiafrate I stopped listening to this station 10 years ago. Velenti hates everything Detroit teams do. His target audience are the angry fans. Always the wrong moves, the wrong picks, the wrong everything. It’s his shtick.

[Alex @purps_sol]

@MAdoubleT13 @Section344Lions 2023 - coming off 32 tackles and 5 sacks - we give him 55 guaranteed - the HIGHEST paid DT contract in the NFL??? How could we ever replace that average level talent??? Usually to be the highest paid you do something. Kerbys deal he was an all pro and got 36 million guaranteed.

[𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝟑𝟒𝟒 𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 @Section344Lions]

I sure do hope Brad Holmes some day finds whatever he is looking for as far as a running mate for Aidan Hutchinson. Drafted James Houston who if he sneezed as a rookie would sack the QB. Turned him into a coverage LB & special teamer before running him out of town for nothing. Now you had a guy in AQM who was the only one with a pulse last year, and you only played him 40% of the snaps before also letting him walk for nothing. Meanwhile Hutch is playing a ridiculous and completely unsustainable 90%+ of snaps per game.

I think I'm back on the draft an EDGE in the first-round train no matter what. This team desperately needs impact on defense up front. They could probably poop their pants non-stop and still have a Top 5 offense. Can't say the same about the defense.

[Chris DeVille @chrisdeville]

Any time you can pay $80 million per year for Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce you gotta do it

[Alex @purps_sol]

@AnthonyWriter5 18.2 due from Lions if he stayed. Release pays out 9.2 in dead money. Any contract beyond 9 million and he makes money leaving. His agent is sitting next to Jamaal Williams agent. The grass isn’t always greener.

@woodwardsports @davebirkett If we wanted Ratledge at center - why did we not play him there when we had a hole at center?
