It is really hard to watch people willfully tear down an infrastructure that allowed us to double lifespans, drastically reduce poverty, and become one of the richest countries in the world.

If you have sons who idolize Andrew Tate, you have failed as a parent and should probably do some honest self-reflection.

Recently learned that people outside the US view Americans as “a wasteful consumer society of lonely individuals” and damn if that ain’t true. 😭

Today’s Daily Stoic: “While the Stoics were certainly curious and intellectual people, they tried to ignore a lot of this. Why? Because they had plenty of other questions they needed answers to first—questions that pertained more to self-awareness and self-actualization than to being informed."

Private equity is a blight on society. People who are laser focused on money baffle me. You know extreme wealth only draws the kind of people who want to use and discard you… right? And you know you’re not taking any of it with you when you die, right? What an empty, meaningless life.

If anyone is still wondering what their end game is. They see the US as being in decline, so they’re looting what’s left before the ship sinks.

My student loan bill is already $1234 per month. You’re telling me it’s going to go up to $1423? And idiots like Vance are pushing us to have more kids??? WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY? The parasite billionaire class is leeching it from us, using their grubby hands to pry every single penny.

The cognitive dissonance annoying me today: people who are self proclaimed MAHA but also cheer on “drill baby drill.” Wtf? How can you say you care about food quality and removing “toxins”… but support energy policies that will contaminate our soil, water, and air.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

“The Stoics remind us that the best thing to ask for is strength. That adaptability is the ultimate advantage. That virtue and resilience will get you further than even the most blessed conditions…and you’re never going to get those ideal conditions anyway.” Oof. So hard to be an aspiring stoic rn.

If a ton of social programs are gutted as a result of DOGE, then our taxes better fucking decrease accordingly. But let’s not be stupid. That won’t happen. The gov still needs $… the billionaires just don’t want it to come from their pockets.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

They want fewer Americans going to college to create larger pools of low cost labor. They want to import for higher skill jobs, but handcuff them with work visas. It's a seismic labor grift devised by Bond villains. It's great for them. Not so good for you.
