@iHxzxrd_ Your problem starts with being willing to treat a human like a God. That’s actually what loser behavior looks like.

A German visiting Auburn, Alabama, to watch Lionel Messi and Argentina play Iceland stopped at a Buc-ee's and ate brisket sandwiches on a stack of deer feeder corn.

A sentence never before uttered in all of human history.

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

Costco spots a recession before economists do.

When members shift from beef to chicken, then to canned tuna, something in the economy is bending.

You don't need a model. You need a checkout counter and millions of members with long memories.

Dostoevsky was 28 when they stood him in front of a firing squad. Blindfolded. Hands tied. He could hear the rifles being loaded.

At the last second a messenger on horseback arrived. The Tsar had commuted the sentence. The entire execution was staged. Psychological torture designed to break him.

It worked. He had a seizure on the spot.

They sent him to a labour camp in Siberia. 4 years. Freezing. Starving. Sleeping on wooden planks next to murderers. His epilepsy got worse. He had no paper. No pen. Nothing.

When he got out he was broke. His first wife died. His brother died. He inherited his brothers debts. He was so desperate for money he signed a contract with a publisher that would have given away the rights to everything hed ever write if he missed the deadline.

He wrote The Gambler in 26 days to make it. Dictated it to a 20 year old stenographer named Anna. Married her three months later.

Then the real work started. Crime and Punishment. The Idiot. Demons. The Brothers Karamazov. The greatest novels in the history of the Russian language. Maybe any language.

The man who stood blindfolded before the firing squad, who convulsed on the ground while soldiers watched, who slept next to killers in Siberia for 4 years, who was buried in debt and grief.

That man wrote: "every minute can be an eternity of happiness."

He earned the right to say it.

its never over. never give up fren.

When is everyone going to start realizing that the manic on again off again war/peace rhetoric is really just insider trading?
And sprinkle in some murder.
Only a select few in the top tax bracket are benefiting from this, and the majority of you ain’t in it.

Can we just start a class action lawsuit against the US government? US Citizens v United States. Gross negligence in handling taxpayer funds would be a good start. Who’s in?

@RoKhanna Hey @RoKhanna we need to bring back the CCC and train young men and women to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. Work a certain number of years and you get student loans forgiven.

BREAKING: Delta Air Lines will no longer offer free snacks or drinks on all flights starting May 19th (under 350 miles).

Meanwhile, Delta CEO Ed Bastian received $27.1 million in 2024.

You are being lied to.

Today I present to you the only inflation index that matters. The Taco Bell chicken quesadilla inflation index.

2001 Chicken quesadilla: $1.89

2026 Chicken quesadilla: $6.19

This is a total inflation of ~327% or an annualized amount of just over
6%/уг.

Don't let the lizard people in the government trick you into thinking inflation is 2-3% per year...plan accordingly.
