The average vehicle on American roads is now 13 years old.

A record high.

10% older than just a decade ago.

People are not keeping old cars because they love them.

They are keeping them because a new car costs $50,000.

The monthly payment is $800.

Insurance is $200 more than it used to be.

And gas is $4.24 a gallon.

So let me get this straight, I go to the grocery store and buy a pound of sliced ham in a plastic bag, a loaf of bread in a plastic bag, a gallon of milk in a plastic jug, a pack of napkins in plastic wrap, a store-made salad in a plastic 1 tub, a plastic bottle of mustard and ketchup, but they won’t give me a plastic bag to carry at home because the plastic bag is bad for the environment?

@VigilantFox Because they’ll pay any price in order to not have accountability or shame for their condition and behavior. “I will let anyone co-opt my movement just as long as it is ok for me to be fat.”

Not that hard.

One of the most laughable things on the internet is all the people in our government who have amassed a 39 trillion dollar debt telling us that if they could just tax Elon’s wealth, they could fix everything they have broken. 😂🤡

Twitter is basically talking to yourself in public and occasionally someone nods.

It's weird how the slow-thinkers don't get mad when someone wins a massive lottery payout, but building a successful business is a trigger.

Арнольд Шварценеггер: "Знаешь, почему большинство талантливых людей так и остаются никем? Они включают фальшивую скромность. Они говорят: «Я творец, я просто делаю свою работу. Пускай мир сам меня заметит».

Это чушь. Ты можешь быть гением, создавать лучшие продукты или писать шедевры. Но если люди об этом не знают, у тебя ничего нет. Абсолютный ноль. Твой талант просто умрёт вместе с тобой.

Умение продавать, продвигать себя. Доносить свою ценность до других и убеждать — это не грязное ремесло. Это величайшее искусство, без которого ты никто.

Чем больше людей узнают о том, на что ты способен, тем ближе ты к вершине. Перестань прятаться в тени. Выходи и учись заявлять о себе на весь мир. Твой успех зависит только от этого"

Don’t worry about Elon becoming rich with his own money.

Worry about politicians becoming rich with your money.

One of the craziest sports statistics I've ever seen:

The Spurs led for 72% of the NBA Finals. They lost in five games.

[NBARetweet @RTNBA]

Charles Barkley asked Ben Stiller how long he’s been a Knicks season-ticket holder and Ben kept it real 😭

“I don’t have a season ticket. I just get the tickets. The celebrities… the Knicks give us the tickets.”

[Dan Clark @DanClarkSports]

The Knicks' success has exposed an uncomfortable truth...

New York contains a staggering number of degenerate men in their 20s, whose hobbies appear to consist of drinking and fighting in public, climbing and trashing things, and confusing antisocial behavior with civic pride.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

[ZUBY: @ZubyMusic]

If you want to achieve anything significant and out of the ordinary, you have to be OK with looking and sounding 'crazy' for some years.

[Robert Perhaps @thebobbybee]

Well, yeah. To be fair on the insurance side of this argument, there are a lot of non capitalist mechanisms in place that make healthcare insanely expensive.

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

One thing about capitalist ideology is that they actually managed to convince everyone that “freedom” means the freedom to choose between 50 brands of cereal, rather than the freedom to quit a job you haťe without losing your health insurance. And that’s very funny

Victor Wembanyama’s agent says Wemby has turned down millions of dollars and will never endorse soda companies

"They all want him, but Victor will never sell soda. Because he doesn’t want to kill the kids."

@rockytfs @matthew_labosco I’d hate to tell the DOCTOR there are amazing hacks like… blackout blinds available.
