I think the Democratic party should put AOC (the bartender) in charge of the party. The favorability (of the Democratics) is already at 29% so she probably couldn't do much worse than whoever is taking credit for running the Party. Then again, there is still room below the 29%. Could single digits be in the future? I think I'm going to need more popcorn to watch this "s**t show".

Why did the bank accept in the first place? Don't they inspect foreign currency at the exchange point? Something fishy going on IMHO.

Happy not wasting money on illegals

Well done!

Totally agree. I one point I heard mention of eliminating taxes on ss. Just have to see how that works out. In the long run I think this may be the healthiest thing that could have ever happened to SS. I personally don't collect SS but just about everybody I know does and none of them seem to be worried either.

The left sure has a funny way of campaigning for the mid-terms next year. This should work well for them. LOL

In 'waste' of money, USAID channeled vast sums for DEI, LGBTQ programs: White House I see you don't understand copy and paste either from the previous message. Yep -brain rot

In 'waste' of money, USAID channeled vast sums for DEI, LGBTQ programs: White House I see you are just another lefty who can't figure out how to use a search engine or is you are too lazy. Maybe all the hate the lefties are spewing is causing brain rot and causing lefties are get crazy.

Musk doesn't spend money on freaks - that's the lefties and their DEI projects for freaks (gays and trans here and abroad).

Could be worse, he could be spending billions on research on freaks like the lefties and their DEI scams.

I could care less how much it is! Just look at the accomplishments. They speak for themselves.

Did you forget to mention that the 38 billion was over a 20-year period? Or did you conveniently forget to mention it? Do the math! That's less the $2 billion per year. Considering that he is employing well over 100,000 people, building cars, making rockets for space exploration, providing star link internet (which is tremendous aid to Ukraine) among other things, I think we got a hell of a deal. You can't even compare what he's done to the fraudulent DEI crap that the lefties have been pushing. Of course, you'll disagree because you don't like Musk. I wouldn't like Musk either if I was one of those politicians' getting kickbacks from some of the wasteful spending going on.

Yes, and there is a reason! It has to do with people hating: I asked does hating cause brain rot? (Chat GPT) Pretty much! Chronic hatred, resentment, and anger can negatively impact brain health. Studies suggest that prolonged negative emotions can lead to increased stress hormones (like cortisol), which can damage brain structures involved in memory, decision-making, and emotional regulation—especially the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Hatred also reinforces negative neural pathways, making it harder to think clearly, feel empathy, or process emotions in a healthy way. Over time, this can lead to cognitive decline, anxiety, and even physical health issues like high blood pressure. Basically, holding onto hate doesn’t just mess with your mood—it can literally alter your brain in harmful ways.

Where are you getting 38 billion USD? Not what I'm seeing. Even if it was double that it's a hell of a lot better than give it to those worthless DEI causes/waste/fraud. Elon Musk's companies—Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity (now part of Tesla), The Boring Company, and Neuralink—have received significant government support in the form of subsidies, contracts, tax breaks, and loans. Estimates vary, but here’s a breakdown of key sources of government support: 1. Direct Subsidies & Tax Breaks $4.9 billion (estimated) in government subsidies across Tesla, SpaceX, and SolarCity (per a 2015 Los Angeles Times report). Tesla’s Tax Credits & Subsidies $465 million low-interest loan from the Department of Energy (DOE) in 2010, which Tesla repaid in 2013. Billions in federal and state EV incentives and tax credits for buyers of Tesla vehicles. $1.3 billion in tax incentives from Nevada for Tesla’s Gigafactory in 2014. $330 million in Texas for Tesla's Austin Gigafactory. SpaceX’s Subsidies & Tax Breaks SpaceX has received millions in subsidies and local tax breaks for its launch sites in Texas, Florida, and California. 2. Government Contracts SpaceX has secured over $10 billion in contracts from NASA, the U.S. military, and other government agencies. NASA’s Commercial Crew & Cargo Contracts – Over $5 billion to develop and launch spacecraft (Dragon, Starship, Falcon 9). Department of Defense (DOD) Contracts – Several billion dollars for national security launches and satellite deployments. FCC Starlink Subsidies – SpaceX was awarded $885 million in 2020 to expand broadband in rural areas via Starlink (some funds were later revoked). 3. Carbon Credits & Indirect Support Tesla has made billions selling regulatory carbon credits to other automakers. SpaceX benefits from infrastructure investment at NASA and Air Force launch sites. Total Estimate Direct subsidies & tax breaks: At least $5 billion Government contracts: Over $10 billion Indirect support (carbon credits, regulatory incentives, etc.): Billions more Would you like a more detailed breakdown of a specific company or program?
