@TrpstrLeonOG Social security isn’t a retirement account, it’s poverty insurance all workers are required to buy. Any person making enough money to max contributions, isn’t going to be in poverty. Like car insurance most parole will pay more than the benefit they receive.
@kevin_smith45 Cherry picking. Average in CA is close to $5.90, and Iowa is $3.60. There’s just a $0.40 per gallon tax difference. What else makes up the $0.90 delta? Transportation from Texas?
@theallinpod@GovernorShapiro@Jason Shameful the pod lands one of the most important Democratic leaders nationally they could possibly get, and no one but @Jason brothers to show because Shapiro doesn’t represent the kind of Democrat they want to dunk on.
Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez are reportedly in concussion protocol after their skulls clashed following an attack from Stephanie Vaquer last night.

@OpenMindIsKing@CascadianCowboy@Handre Yet Texas and California have similar numbers of illegals. So how does Texas skirt this problem? CA provided expansive benefits (now contracting) and Texas provide only ER care.
@MJTruthUltra Trump flipped the issue. Obama was more restrictive on immigration than G.W. Bush. Once Trump took ownership of a more restrictive immigration policy, Democrats were forced to take the opposing side.
@TreyAngstadt@allenanalysis It’s even more telling that they were 90-95% Christian and warned that the most important thing was to not establish a religion and give people their freedom of religion, because they understood the dangers of what a majority could do to a minority religious group.
@Milajoy @Shilohmarx Registrations are not votes. This is just evidence that people use the DMV, which is always registering you to vote whether you are registered or not.
@InfinitelyDean@IAPolls2022@grok Most Democrat-controlled states already have an ID requirement. It’s just not as strict as Republican-controlled states, and offers alternatives if the voter doesn’t have an ID, like a provisional ballot or a signed affidavit. Just 5 states don’t have an ID requirement.
@Real_RobN Amazing what happens when a state expands access to vote. There’s a before and after 2020 environment. Auto send mail-in ballots to every registered voter. Early voting in person.
@LibertyCappy SSI is not an investment account. It’s poverty insurance. Like all insurance, some get a benefit greater than they put in and others get less.
@john_marsh10@KaareJohnson@MrPitbull07 The expectation is that the ambiance and service at a higher end restaurant elevates the dining experience, paying for more than just the food itself
@unsolicitedop7@KaareJohnson@MrPitbull07 Hey @grok when did 20% gratuity become the expectation for dining out in the US and does this vary by state since some minimum wage for tipped employees can vary in some states?
