Just want to remind everyone that Elon Musk was working in the U.S. illegally when he started his first company and likely obtained his citizenship through fraud. He has also been accused of sexual harassment.

Have a great day!

Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"

"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"

"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

The reason rich people prefer charity is so they can judge who is deserving.

They don't like how the government (mostly) doesn't discriminate.

Single moms making minimum wage aren't any better off than couples on minimum wage where only one person can work because they can't afford childcare.

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around.

Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

They voted for a president that is both free market and controls pricing.

Since they expected the impossible, I guess they thought he could cure AVI too.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Same thing. Make it one system. Let people buy in. Broaden the pool. Also give a discount for yearly screenings. You get your annual exams. Discount.

“Warning”?

We’re already there. They’re arresting and tear gassing citizens. They are zip-tying kids. They’re beating up people for filming them.

This is another willfully ignorant rich person proving they are willfully ignorant.

The problem is that she was appointed in the position to remain willfully ignorant about the entire program.

Lady, you’re just shouting, “I’m a fucking moron,” hoping no one will notice.

We notice.

The White Left's Blind Spot on Race - Lawyers, Guns & Money

Tressie McMillan Cotton weighs on the Graham Platner Nazi tattoo debate with some well deserved frustration over how the left and Democrats more broadly (and let’s be honest, this is a problem across the political spectrum) see the working class as inherently white guys instead of what the working class actually is, which is the […]

What about Platner’s bougie family background?

If ‘working class’ assumes a white man.

It also holds true that white man assumes ‘working class.’

There’s no longer an assumption they’re blue collar or middle-class.

The sole basis for these assumptions is that no one but white men actually work.

The electorate has too many zero-sum thinkers.

They think repealing the ACA will lower costs.

Punish low-income people. Gain.

Deport immigrants. Gain.

Subjugate women and minorities. Gain.

They voted for punishment not progress because they think punishing others will mean gains for them.

She’s not folksy. She’s being a contrarian for attention.

Think of MTG, Trump, and these other people as amoeba feeding on attention. That’s what she is doing. She was out of the limelight and she said something, it got her attention, now she’s eating it up.

I think she’s totes jels of ICE Barbie.

Straight men don’t like to talk about politics unless they think it will lead to to a heated argument that culminates in hot sex. Yes, they are that stupid.

Straight guys are like, “I have a car, job, and a place of my own,” and they think that’s all women should care about.

You could do this on a state level with state exchanges where people can buy into state employee insurance. Treat every resident like an employee and provide them affordable health insurance.

We have the systems. Let’s use them.

Instead of putting subsidies into for-profit insurance companies, allow people to buy into Medicaid on a sliding scale. Medicaid has a far larger network. Medicaid’s admin costs are lower than for-profit. Medicaid doesn’t pay stockholders. Medicaid is a better deal.
