@elonmusk Wow

Jimmy Carr just dropped a radical rethink of taxes, education, and national wealth:

- No tax for anyone under 30 → let young people keep every penny they earn and actually start their lives.

- University should be free… but only for STEM fields that grow society (not a luxury item for 50% of kids).

- Over 60? No tax either — stop pretending we can pay endless pensions with fewer young workers.

- Sovereign wealth fund from UK oil, gas, wind farms, and mobile masts — assets that should belong to everyone, not just the Crown.

On AI and the future:
We need flexibility of thought. Old ideologies won’t cut it when everything changes.

Why does everything have to come from taxing workers? Why not undercut Ireland on corporation tax, mine Bitcoin with idle power stations, or treat national resources as shared wealth?

Do you think no-tax zones for the young and old + free STEM education could actually work?
Or is this too radical for a country stuck in old thinking?

@mpsig64 So bad…

I’d like to thank our brilliant members in Congress for setting aside partisan politics and running this country so well. Like here in New Orleans. The thousands in line with me for 4+ hours waiting to fly home thank you. I don’t know why your approval numbers are so low?

[Dan Barcus @thebarcus]

@MattWalshBlog You’re over reacting. It’s only 4 extra hours in New Orleans. Getting thousands of extra steps in. I’m just thankful for brilliant folks in Congress like my own @CoryBooker who are setting aside partisan politics and doing what’s right for the country.

I’m just glad I have the highly competent @CoryBooker on my side with this TSA mess.

@elonmusk Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Keep pushing for more.

@tedcruz This shouldn’t even be on your top 100 issues. Nevermind an absolute crisis.

@adamcarolla @BillAckman @JDVance @SpeakerJohnson are you doing anything about this?

[Dan Barcus @thebarcus]

@elonmusk Please fix Siri. It’s terrible and getting worse every day.

The @Eagles offense is just struggling… Defense is carrying them. They went from the most exciting team to watch to BORING. The defensive squad is SOLID.

@DNIGabbard @POTUS Really? This is what we’re doing??

@MicahhParsons11 We saw you stop Saquon alright…

[Dan Barcus @thebarcus]

@JJWatt Nope. Because @YouTube and @Disney don’t care about their customers. Greedy. I pay an obnoxious amount for YouTube TV and NFL Gamepass. Thankfully @Sling had an innovative solution - day pass.

@GrafixGuerilla @JackCarrUSA What’s the model?

[Dan Barcus @thebarcus]

@Brink_Thinker Love the smile on that baby. So cute.

@itsme_urstruly Most people think a happy marriage is a 50/50 mindset. It sounds fair but if you do this, your partner will only be half satisfied. The proper mix is 100/100. You have to give it your all. Some days you fall short, but on balance it’s a winning formula.
