Imagine if income taxes were based not on how much you made, but how much your town decided you COULD have made. That’s basically how property tax works. The assessor decides what your house is worth, then taxes you as if you paid that price. Property tax should be abolished.
Unpopular opinion: Student loans are no more “predatory” than credit cards. When the minimum payment is only interest, the balance doesn’t go down. You’d think with all of that “education” they would have leaned this.
In 1980, the Zimbabwean dollar was equal to the US dollar. By 2008, a loaf of bread was $35 million. Imagine saving $1-2 million for retirement, thinking you’re set, but then the government prints so much money you can’t even buy bread. This is the path we’re on.

Ghislaine Maxwell says nobody has ever asked her what she knows, and that she's willing to testify before Congress. She was sentenced in 2022 for sex trafficking minors, and NOBODY ASKED HER WHO SHE WAS TRAFFICKING THEM TO?
So, basically just like a real PhD.
Elon Musk says Grok 4 is smarter than a human with a PhD, it just lacks "common sense."
Public schools should be funded solely through voluntary donations.
Because artists used to go into the trades and become artisans, and now artists go into graphic design and make Facebook ads, leaving buildings to be designed by architects and engineers who largely prefer minimalism and utility over artistic flair.
Why did humans stop building like this?
Every time I go to Walmart I feel like the last human survivor in a zombie movie.
Just 100 years ago, kids ran barefoot through fields, climbed trees, and came home at sunset covered in dirt and joy Now they’re inside all day on tablets, diagnosed with 3 disorders by age 8, and afraid of steak WTF happened
Both the flight list and black book have been public for years. What other list is everyone talking about?
Elon reminds me of when new people join the Libertarian Party and think it could one day be viable.
You can help the people who truly need it and simultaneously limit abuse by replacing food stamps with MRE’s. We literally own the Post Office so distribution isn’t an issue. Don’t like the meal? No problem. You’re still free to buy your own food with your own money.
If TEMU was a city… Am I the only one who hates that everything you buy is lit up like Christmas with LED’s?
I don't think Americans understand how far ahead Chinas infrastructure is
What’s with all the Massie hate? Seems like he’s the only guy in Congress who is sticking to the principles everyone else on the red team said they wanted.
If you had put $1,000 in Microsoft in 1986, never touched it, and reinvested all dividends, it would be worth $7.5 million today. $TSLA is that opportunity now.
The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!! Congratulations to the @Tesla_AI teams, both software & AI chip design!
When Florida stopped letting unions automatically deduct union dues from paychecks, most teachers didn't stay in the union. If it worked in Florida, it will work in New Hampshire. #nhpolitics

Why does anyone need a pension when the S&P 500 exists? Privatize the whole thing. Balance between SPY (long term gains for those currently working) and SPYi (throws off a monthly dividend to pay current recipients). You can make good on current obligations AND phase out.
