@LauraLoomer one of these days, Laura is going to melt down so badly it'll go from funny to sad.

@iamjohnoliver Despite being a follower, I had to search in order to locate this post.

@LauraLoomer An attack on Iran is only going to empower the anti-israel voices on the right and left. Tucker's coalition will be stronger in a year than it is today.

@AlJean @AniDom @hulu all downhill from there?

@jonfavs Even Elon Musk has been elevated to his level of incompetence (Peter Principle). That anyone listens to his political takes will one day be regarded with great shame.

@LauraLoomer To be a good Republican, everyone must think like Laura on all issues. Have any independent thoughts and you're an enemy.

@PressSec So those of us who will retire after 2032 will have our social security benefits cut, plus pay into the Boomers' retirement, and now we've got to pay for babies getting $1000 each? They won't retire till after 2050. What about us?

[Patrick @username2012a]

@NancyMace Plus there is the very likely problem that her math doesn't work. What fund will turn $1000 into $5800 in 18 years without any management? The numbers MIGHT work if you don't adjust for inflation, but I doubt even that.

[Patrick @username2012a]

@NancyMace So if you're working for the next decade or more but plan to retire some time after 2032, you've been paying for boomer retirements, and you'll be paying for these baby funds. But they're going to cut your retirement $$.

[Patrick @username2012a]

@NancyMace I keep coming back to this video. This math is insane. I'd love to see the underlying assumptions for this level of growth, nearly 600% in 18 years and without fund management or fees.

@DanEggenDC For what it's worth, I'm sorry this has happened. I'm a longtime reader, indeed a fan. And I know if Bezos were to sell it wouldn't guarantee a better owner or a brighter future. I've been really conflicted for some time now about the post.

[Patrick @username2012a]

@DanEggenDC What is the new business model of the post besides being a weaker, cheaper version of the old model? The paper fell apart slowly at first, and then quickly. Why would a reader continue on under these circumstances?

[Patrick @username2012a]

@NancyMace It's like a Roth IRA minus the tax advantages!

[Patrick @username2012a]

@NancyMace It's one more way to separate the "haves" from the "have-nots" at an even younger age.
