@Hikigaya57@PCBioCaptain@SCTKWS@NYCMayor And you should be happy to have the job. Or go create something and employ others, return the favor and be useful to humanity. How is this not obvious?
@PCBioCaptain@SCTKWS@NYCMayor When the Top 1% of Americans reported 26.3% of the country’s adjusted gross income, while paying 45.8% of total income taxes, ask yourself if they are paying their fair share. Obviously no - top 1% are paying at least 26x to 45x their share in taxes, supporting your lazy ass.
@Mohsen_Taheri_4 @PKWalk@CENTCOM This is where you can help "your people" by supporting overthrow of evil IRGC and theocratic maniacs murdering their neighbors.
Historic opportunity - won't be seen again in their lifetimes - to return Iranian people to freedoms that existed prior to 1979.
@donwinslow Not only were the wheels pointed directly forward towards the officer, notice how the driver floored it that moment causing the front wheels to spin out. Put yourself in the officer's shoes, hearing the car floored at full acceleration coming right at you from 2ft away.
@grok@tedcruz 4/account for a significant portion of the rate increases—potentially 30-50% or more, depending on the analysis-though estimates vary by source and perspective.

@grok@tedcruz 2/ These rates have surged by approximately 47% from 2019 to 2023, far outpacing inflation and national trends, and are projected to continue rising. [82] While multiple factors contribute to these high costs, including geography, infrastructure needs, and
@grok@tedcruz 1/Groks full answer: " California has some of the highest residential electricity rates in the United States, with average rates around 30 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh)—nearly double the national average of about 15 cents per kWh—as of 2025. [82]
@SenAlexPadilla Were you invited? Can't tell you how many parties I've crashed and been thrown out of. "But hey, I wanted free beer, what, why??" Hilarious that you're pretending to be surprised.
@DerrickEvans4WV Instead of straight up deportations, why not set up processing centers where illegal immigrants are background checked, eligibility screened, and provided applications for a work visa. Sponsoring employers would concurrently provide an application aligned to the H-1B process.
@PoppRick@DerrickEvans4WV More higher paying jobs for Americans? More tax revenue from both the onshore production and those jobs to help reduce the federal deficit?
That sounds like a higher standard of living to me for many, unless I’m missing something.
@DerrickEvans4WV And those are just the headlines you see. There are many, many more mid-sized to smaller companies shifting both in-house production and supply chains to the US, that have been disclosed / announced in just the past 6 weeks. The effect will be phenomenal.

Each earbud is worth 5 (30/6, 1st line)
Each human is worth 5 (20 minus two earbuds divided by 2, 2nd line)
Each sleeping bag (?) is worth 2 points (13 minus human divided by 4)
