@BarronT_Fan@FoxNews We know that people living close to highways have higher rates of COPD and asthma. Forgetting about climate change (it’s a hoax), why do we suddenly stop caring about air and water pollution? That costs us all more healthcare expenditure, and may also increase cancer risk.
@FreedmRings@EricLDaugh If you leave your car, running inside the garage, and you are sitting in your car, you die from carbon monoxide poisoning, not carbon dioxide
Carbon monoxide is not the only pollutant you need to worry either; people living close to highways have higher rates of COPD and asthma
@Retiredturd@SecDuffy They should not share that data or use it against you, but no one should be able to operate a vehicle drunk. If we can do that without violating privacy, it could actually save lives.
@kimrose1776@SecDuffy@AmericanwomanU1 Um, no. I don’t work 55 hours a week so that I can change my own oil or fix an engine. I want a smart car that can provide me performance reports and notify me of needed repairs on my phone. This isn’t 1965.
@Shawn_Farash@gp_juist@DerrickEvans4WV Many people still have private insurance through employers, or Medicare if they are over 65. Private insurance premiums are increasing every year, as well as out-of-pocket costs and deductibles.
@StephenCFU@unusual_whales@grok Median home prices are double what they were in 1980, controlling for inflation. The problem today is that mortgage rates are creeping up, but home prices are bordering on unaffordable for most people.
@econofreight@PathToManliness@HeroDividend Rising fuel costs increase prices, even if there is a lag of weeks. You haven't made your argument of why we shouldn't care about fuel costs, or just shrug them off.
Tax cuts means there is less money available to pay off the debt, especially while Congress continues to spend
@econofreight@PathToManliness@HeroDividend Is that why FedEx and UPS prices go up as soon as fuel prices increase? Transportation stocks are very sensitive to fuel prices.
@realwaifufibi@FoxNews We don’t need “strong leadership”. People think they need that b/c they can’t be the strong leaders themselves. We have to stop expecting anyone to come save us, and stop hero-worshiping.
Be the change you want to see, have confidence, grow some balls, and vote with your wallet
@FoxNews Another old white guy. We haven’t had enough of those in office over the past 10 years.
Could we possibly find somebody who doesn’t have gray/white hair and isn’t eligible for Medicare? A country of over 350 million people and this is the best we can do?
@fry37065295@Daniell64334313 Belief is just emotions and feelings. Humans use their logical thought and ability to reason to justify their emotions and feelings.
We want to believe because we’re scared of the alternative. Fear of the unknown or of something bad happening, and hope that we will be saved.
@PrezLives2022 Yes, a man on a cloud will come down and tell us how wrong and bad we all are. We will all have to beg for forgiveness like the bad little boys and girls we have been.
That sounds completely logical and based on reason, not fear, feelings, and beliefs.
@seanpflinn@ScottPresler Lol, as if corporations aren’t busy buying up all the resi real estate.
Blackrock will be your landlord. You will own nothing and be happy.
@3rdDownDraws@ScottPresler It’s as if white people didn’t have thousands of years of wars against each other, like all of a sudden, we are going to sit around and sing Kumbaya. Two people can’t even get along and you want entire groups to? Apparently, you’ve never met people. We love to hate.
@PathToManliness@HeroDividend Except fuel prices drive costs of UPS/Fedex shipments, groceries, travel, any goods that have to be moved from one place to another. The planes in the sky, trucks on the road, homes heated with oil in the winter.
Yes, low IQ.
@HeroDividend Fuel costs increase food prices, as food is transported on trucks. Goods are shipped on ships, trucks, and planes. Increases in fuel prices drive the increase in the cost of goods, and make it more expensive to travel. It's not just the gas in your car.
@MarindaVannoy1@N2D3W Shocker - we don't have capitalism - we have corporatism and cronyism, and we are a country run by oligarchs. This "commie versus capitalism" is more divide and distract because people are easily emotionally manipulated. Bread and circus for the plebes.
