I would say he has declined 600 or 700 percent. Some people say 1400 percent. No one has ever seen such declines. They say it took George Washington almost 250 years to decline as much. Huge decline.

This is absolutely not how it works, but it could be how it works to some degree if we did universal basic income and indexed it to a percentage of GDP per capita, say 25%, so that as GDP grew, the UBI grew too.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

Mystified by Dems worriedly telling everyone to be careful because the letter is probably fake. There's no proof it's fake. Just take the win! Act like Republicans for once and run with it. Assume it's real. Donald Trump is a pedophile. Make headlines. Do TikTok videos. Shove it down their throats.

My mom does this. She’s legally blind, and managing leading her and holding onto luggage and getting through a terminal and not losing things is too much for my dad to manage on his own. This is the only way they can get help, so that’s what they do.

CAN you sometimes come to agreement? Sure.
But a lot of the time, the answer is "Is this making you happy? I love that for you."
That's all we fucking need.

There's a tension at the heart of Trumpism. On one hand, you have the corrupt corporatists who simply want to defang the entirety of regulatory oversight so corporations can run amok.

Trump ran on a promise that ICE would go after the “worst" criminals.
But the real crime is in oligarchs taking $170b from your healthcare and food assistance to form a secret police force.
Our country has defeated fascism before and it is time we fight to uphold our legacy.

Universal basic income will reduce crime. That crime didn't go down in the Finland pilot does not disprove that, and it definitely doesn't disprove the causation of crime by poverty, nor support the eugenics view that crime is in the genes like Elon appears to grossly believe.
