Wealth inequality. The account below nailed it. Absolute banger post.
Concern over wealth inequality is not proof of oppression. It is proof of resentment. It does not mean the rich have stolen. It means the observer cannot stand that others have achieved more. Inequality, by itself, tells you nothing about justice. It tells you nothing about how…
Capitalism has been so successful at eradicating poverty, hunger, and hardship that it gave rise to a generation utterly detached from the realities of production, trade, and effort. They’ve grown up in comfort, surrounded by abundance, and instead of gratitude, they respond with…
Tomato BS. Current industry estimates are that retail prices per lb of tomatoes will increase ~$0.08. That is 4 large tomatoes or 8-10 medium. 8 cents more for a lb. There will be zero impact to the supply of tomatoes.
Tomatoes will soon be considered a luxury. 90% of our tomatoes come from Mexico and tariffs will essentially stop those imports. You may consider growing your own.
This is correct. Tariffs simply make the US the highest cost producer in the world, therefore much less competitive.
If you really wanted to boost domestic steel, aluminum, copper, etc. manufacturing, you do so by heavily subsidizing domestic production. Not by tariffing imported inventory from other countries. Basic, textbook economics. 9th grade stuff.

When people like Elizabeth Warren says people are losing something. All that means is I'm no longer paying for it
Fact Check: True.
Tariffs are taxes. Tariffs are regressive taxes. Tariffs are distortionary, regressive taxes. Tariffs are distortionary, regressive taxes that raise prices for US businesses and consumers.
Florida is going to need 500k beds, not 5k.

Even Iranians agree that white liberal women are the enemy.
Today, we Iranians are faced with something truly unbelievable: Western, liberal, “woke” feminists, clueless about the brutal reality in our country, consistently stand with our oppressors under the delusion of saviorism. They have no understanding of the decades of humiliation,…
The risk of China invading Taiwan during Donald Trump’s term is now quite low. They are unnerved by the unpredictability of his actions (and aren’t ready anyway) Now post 2028 (and through 2032, the possible end of Xi’s term in power) - still quite high
Just wanted to reiterate—we only hire US citizens on our farm and in our meat packing plant. All of our full-time employees have health care. We can do this by being vertically integrated and diversified. Most small operations like ours rely on family members, hire locals or,…
Isn't one of the hallmarks of a fascist/totalitarian regime a government that blatantly lies to its people and a press corps that dutifully repeats those lies and propaganda? Asking for a friend.
This is the type of sh*t that should piss off @VladTheInflator . Welcome to "investing" into the U.S. Remember when Apple said they would invest $500 billion? First $100 billion is now being deployed - to buy their own stock.
US companies are buying back stock at a the highest pace ever, per Bloomberg:

TRUMP: Betcha I can. STEPHEN MILLER: No way. TRUMP: Bet? STEPHEN MILLER: Sure. Easy money. JD VANCE: What’s this about? STEPHEN MILLER: The President just bet me he can get Democrats and the media to put their full support behind an MS-13 wife beater.
Good summary.
The federal government is not "taking over" Harvard; it is simply enforcing civil rights law. If Harvard would like more "independence," it is free to follow Hillsdale College and refuse to accept federal funds. Until then, it has reciprocal obligations that must be honored.
