I’m no mechanic, but this plane is 100% gonna fall out of the sky at one point.

“We can’t afford single-payer healthcare.”
Average American income: $71,456
Average American healthcare costs: $12,900
Average premium: $7,911
My question: is paying 18% of your salary to healthcare really less expensive than the taxes needed for a modern single-payer system?

It was the combo of a 2 hour delay + bad turbulence + black marks in multiple spots + what seemed to be a random pipe sticking out of the wing. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t a big deal; don’t know what you don’t know!
Just want to point out that when bigots like
@KidRock
shoot up Bud Light cans, they’re role playing murdering LGBTQ+ people.
He’s expressing his anger with a display of violence, and the cans are just a proxy for the LGBTQ+ community.
“This is what I wish I could do to you.”
A lot of people have been asking me "why are we shooting at Bud Light cans now?"
The answer is a million times dumber than you'd ever imagine.
Here's a brief history of Bud Light Gone Woke.
Political hopes in 2015: wow the US has a real shot at tuition-free education, guaranteed paid family leave, robust investment in renewable energy… maybe even a modern single-payer healthcare system!
Political hopes in 2023: maybe the Supreme Court won’t re-segregate schools?
One reason politics is so depressing is because almost all of todays fights are about trying to stop even worse shit from happening, rather than making things permanently better. There were past eras in which the battles were about improving things. Can't even imagine that today.

Surely we should all never make an offhand tweet.
They do say they fastest way to get correct information on the internet is to post incorrect information. Found that to be 100% true today.
Just made clear to everyone at
@SheetsGiggles
that our unlimited PTO, personal day, and sick day policy also covers time spent at protests on weekdays.
Every CEO should let their teams know that exercising their right to protest won’t put their job or pay at risk.
Me: “So why do you want this job?”
Candidate: “In the US, unlike every other country in the world, healthcare is tied to employment. I just got laid off, so for my 7-year-old to continue to go to the doctor, I need W2 status. Also your bed sheets seem nice.”
Me: “You’re hired.”
Love how some people are brushing off train derailments like, “no you don’t understand, thousands of trains derail every year in the US” like that makes it… better?
Wanna know why Millennials and GenZ are having fewer kids? Read through these comments.
TL;DR - income inequality, inflation, climate crisis, school shootings, abortion bans, medical bankruptcies, education debt, no maternity leave, unaffordable daycare.
Learned yesterday how the Twitter algorithm works, and I didn’t even have to examine the GitHub 😂
If you want to go viral, you just have to be:
1) loud
3) wrong
4) confident
Perspective: hundreds of thousands of Americans’ healthcare was on the line this weekend via the SVB failure.
Imagine your family losing their healthcare… because a bank bought the wrong security?!
We need to decouple healthcare from employment in this country. It’s asinine.
Just got off the phone with Meadowlark.

They totally let Warren get off the hook by just letting her talk super vaguely about women winning elections. Then they pivot to "hypothetically, what do you think about douchebags who think women can't win elections?" Like what is going on
2.5 years ago, we met because she interviewed me about

My whole life, “We don’t want the government running healthcare!” has been the conservative slogan against a modern single-payer healthcare system.
And yet the minute they’re able to, conservatives involved government in healthcare, to disastrous effects.
> Supreme Court justice takes millions from Federalist Society billionaire
> same justice overturned 50-year precedent in Roe v. Wade
> same justice will rule on using a 1873 law to outlaw abortion nationwide

decided to leave their last job because their employer REFUSED to offer ANY maternity/paternity leave.
One was with their company for 6 years. The other, 4 years.
I just can’t understand losing someone amazing forever because of this 🤯
I can’t shake my concern over the influence that YouTube is having on preteen, teenage, & early 20s men.
There is a good # of guys being raised by mostly right-wing YT media (Tate, Shapiro, Kirk, Prager, Turning Point), who have been obsessive about cultivating this audience.
I don't get the intense, gleeful hatred some people have for striking writers and actors.
87% of the 170,000 SAG actors make under $26k/year and don't get healthcare from their job...
Do people just have a mental image of every actor being rich because of the 0.1% of A-listers?
So much solidarity with these kids.
Imagine trying to sit at a desk and learn under these conditions. We’re traumatizing an entire generation for no good reason.
“As she says this, her five-month-old daughter Titan Invictus – the couple refuse to give girls feminine names, citing research suggesting they will be taken less seriously – is strapped to her chest, while Malcolm has charge of their two sons Torsten, 2, and Octavian, 3.”
lol
Madison and I got engaged this weekend in Moab!
I spontaneously proposed high up on this ancient cliff face at sunset – didn’t even have the ring on me!
We shouted down that we were engaged, and when we finally came down, our friends mobbed us.
I’ll never forget these moments!
To proudly and unironically publish a graph like this that loudly proclaims it excludes food, shelter, energy, and transportation, you've gotta be completely out of touch.
This is like an incredible anti-Biden ad lol
This is like what I would make if I were doing a bit!
Netflix has introduced their anti-password sharing method. Every 31 days, your device must log in on your home Wi-Fi network or your account will be blocked.
Netflix will officially start charging for password sharing by the end of March.

“This opens the door for other politicians to be arrested.”
I know people saying this don’t mean it in the way I wish they did – i.e., they mean rounding up political opponents – but many of us have been waiting a long time for corrupt politicians to *finally* be put on trial.

The "Deep State Fake News"? So are people on the far right just going to start combining random conspiracy phrases that scare them?
What about the Planned Parenthood Death Panels? Or the Obamacare Pizzagate Dossier? Any opinion on the Globalist Elite Climate Hoax?
I was attacked in a restaurant tonight by an insane women and screamed at by her adult son.
They had no respect for the restaurant or the staff or the other people dining or people like me who simply have different political views.
They are self righteous, insane, and…
“Ah, you’ve replied to the email we use to bill you. See, we no longer monitor this email 🙃 you need to go to this complex website and figure out how to contest the charge.”
Should be so fucking illegal.
Company emails you? Should be mandated to be a monitored email.
Still can’t believe the experience I had 2 weeks ago… I literally walked through the White House rose garden with Biden in the Oval Office.
(I don’t know how to say this without mentioning Biden.)
As the newly anointed anti-Mike Lindell, I should announce that I have definitive proof that the 2020 election was *not* stolen.
Better yet, I can share it all with you right now:

2.25x higher maternal death rate for women in states with abortion bans.
“What about health exemptions?”
They don’t matter, except as a smokescreen.
In reality, doctors don’t want to risk 5 years in prison and the loss of their license and livelihood.

Yeah as an entrepreneur, that movie didn't inspire me at all. It felt more like a warning to avoid malicious business partners and watch out for your own weaknesses along the way.
I believe we pay more for less, entirely due to insurance companies’ profit motive.
“Medical bills cause 1 million US adults to declare bankruptcy every year… The most common cause of medical debt was an unexpected refusal by insurance companies to pay for a medical procedure.”
When you see videos of Nazi rallies in USA towns, should you share & condemn? Or does that just amplify?
…but is ignoring them smart?
Tough questions. Sad state of affairs.
Social media has enabled the amplification of the worst voices among us in a previously impossible way.
As a 27-year-old, I started a bed sheets company.
Solely because of that decision, as a CEO I now choose healthcare coverage for dozens of families with disparate needs.
I dictate others’ healthcare… because I started a bedding company.
Insane system we have here in the USA.
“You only hear the downsides.”
Well yeah, the downsides are Category 6 hurricanes, rolling blackouts, wars over freshwater, and 20-foot high sea walls in Miami.
But sure, let’s talk about how Russia will have more warm water ports. Hooray I guess?
Tucker Carlson calls climate change a "mixed blessing":
"If the Earth is indeed getting warmer, that will make more arable land in places like Canada and northern Europe. ... You only hear the downsides, which tells you a lot."
“For nearly two years beginning in 2015, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch sought a buyer…
“Nine days after he was confirmed by the Senate for a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, the then-circuit court judge got one: the CEO of one of the nation’s biggest law firms…”
Neil Gorsuch failed for 2 years to sell property in rural Colorado. But 9 days after he was named to SCOTUS, it was bought for $1.9M by the CEO of a law firm that handles tons of SCOTUS cases
Once again, journalists do the ethics work the government won’t
My favorite thing ever is when you’re in bumper-to-bumper traffic for like 20 minutes and you finally get to the section of the highway where things open back up, only to see that there was no accident, road work, or lane closure – just a police car chilling in the shoulder. A+

Lol I love that argument. “What about the jobs?”
A) single-payer also needs a large workforce
B) if I hired people to run around breaking windows all day, and someone was like “stop that,” and my argument was “what about the jobs?” they’d rightfully tell me to fuck myself lol
I’ve really enjoyed tweeting more openly about politics lately. (Candidly, I have political aspirations for the future.)
I’ve found that if you go after issues – not people – you get more polite / interesting replies, & less vitriol. Thanks to everyone who engages w/ me on here!
I could respect
@elonmusk
labeling certain media outlets that receive government funding, but only if he also labels *all* media outlets with who funds them.
Everyone deserves to know which mega-corp is feeding them their daily news.
E.g., label
@MSNBC
as “Comcast-owned media”
Not judging, but it is surprising.
I’ve heard a few bewildered versions of “Wait… how do they not have all the money people deposit? They put it in their accounts… where does it go??”
