@unusual_whales Objectively true. Sportsbooks savagely penalize winning players, to the point where you might only be able to place $5 wagers, or they just ban you completely. If you’re not playing their “suggested” +2800 5-leg parlay, they don’t want you.

@GrindeOptions These are some pretty volatile stocks to sell ATM short contracts on.

@Double_Anarchy3 @Acyn Conservative Christians like to put words in Christ’s mouth to make themselves feel better about their anger. They think Jesus would tell them to be cruel to trans people.

@Lovingdragon24 @SaraForTexLege @JamesQuinteroTX I could buy this argument if we actually were going to use savings to help the hungry children in the US. I think we’re more likely to cut welfare than expand it.

@Memikry The entirety of USAID is 0.2% of the budget. If you pay $20,000 of taxes per year, that’s $40. The “waste” DOGE found so far is less than $1/taxpayer. We are giving up so much foreign influence in exchange for $1/year/taxpayer in savings.

@LordCarsonEsq Middle of nowhere, car-dependent infrastructure.

@unusual_whales $1 trillion of infrastructure, or “invest” $1 trillion into US equities?

@1066_Giacomo @covie_93 This entire list adds up to like $1.50 per taxpayer. And if you exclude “money to radical groups” (since that’s not specific enough for us to judge the value), then it knocks it down to like $0.30/American.

@GravyGG @NarutoExplained @themanbearpigV2 @unusual_whales This isn’t a high school project where you can just hit “new file” when you get stuck. You can’t just dismantle an entire bureau and then expect to build a better unit out of the ashes. You’d be recreating 99% of the same thing you just dismantled.

@GravyGG @NarutoExplained @themanbearpigV2 @unusual_whales So we shouldn’t destroy the whole thing, and instead do assessments of what is happening, and then make changes?

@NarutoExplained @GravyGG @themanbearpigV2 @unusual_whales I’m almost at the point where I give up engaging with people who want to see all of their protections and benefits destroyed. Why should I stress over this, when the most vulnerable people are the ones asking to get wrecked?

@chamath Scamath

@GravyGG @NarutoExplained @themanbearpigV2 @unusual_whales Are you really going to try to argue that penalizing businesses who rip off consumers is “worthless?”

@JDVance He’s a skilled and important professional when he’s gutting feed-the-needy programs. He’s a misguided kid when he posts racism.

@WealthCoachMak There’s risk in putting your entire account on the line by selling options. That risk simply does not exist with dividends.

@1OreoSpeedwagon @elonmusk Dude it was like $3 per taxpayer, let’s relax a little bit.

@HouseForeignGOP @elonmusk This adds up to like $0.17/year per US resident.

@21FannyB @elonmusk @politico It’s $0.00142 per US resident. But yeah every 1/10th of a penny adds up.

@moment_mirthful @elonmusk Thai whole list is like $0.01 per US taxpayer. Elon is really putting a dent in spending.
