It’s because they hide behind “freedom of religion” when what they mean is they want a Christian theocracy.

lol of course he thinks the companies are “blackmailing him” and not that the companies don’t want to advertise in the cesspool he has turned twitter into.
Even if you didn’t like twitter before, it’s much worse now than Elon has worked his magic. Why would companies want to pay money to have their brands side by side with nazi posts.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Home Alone.
I’m curious if the “climate change is a hoax” stuff is as prominent in China as the US. I’ve run into so many people who hate EVs solely because they think climate change is a hoax and EVs are just another way to scam them out of money for a lower quality vehicle… despite any evidence of EVs being better quality
The West and the Woke living rent free in dictator, and tyrannical supporter’s dreams.
You list assets and debt. Nothing about revenue. Nothing about the surplus California just had. Nothing about expected income. Nothing about the balance books of other states (guess what, every country and state runs with debt financing).
If California is in trouble because of its economy, then every state is bigger trouble.
You are completely delusional and brainwashed. California is literally carrying the country.
It has the 4th largest economy in the world. That means it’s the best economy of any state by a large margin.
California has the 5th largest economy in the world (compared to other countries), produces a third of the country’s fruits and vegetables, and basically subsidizes all the poor, primarily red states…
California has kept the US at the forefront of the world stage in tech with Silicon Valley, in entertainment with Hollywood, and dare I say cars with Tesla (as much as Elon hates CA these days because COVID and taxes, Tesla would have never survived without California subsidies and green policies).
But go on living in your Fox News world and ignoring reality.
lol you mean the California that is the 4th largest economy compared to countries?
The California that pays most to the federal government, essentially subsidizing poor red states. Talk about taking hand outs, those red states really are lazy and need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps.
They should, but they wouldn’t.
We can’t even get fair treatment for humans.
Not to mention, people can’t even see past cultural veils… pigs are smarter than dogs, and people who would never eat a dog have no second thoughts eating pigs and mocking vegetarians/vegans.
When you have a system that values profits over everything, it tends to (either by accident or design) exploit workers and destroy the middle class.
With capitalism, you’ll pay the absolute minimum needed to get workers, regardless of the value they create for the business and regardless of how much profit your business is making. You’ll collude with other businesses to keep wages down, because again that’s a way to increase profit. You WONT support any worker rights laws like weekends, PTO, benefits, minimum wage, etc.
You can argue that the free market takes care of itself, but we’ve seen that isn’t true. Companies constantly exploit customers and workers. They will raise prices and lower wages in ways that a pure “free market” theoretically wouldn’t allow.
Now this isn’t to say capitalism is all bad. I do think smart people and hard working people should be rewarded. But any sufficiently large system is going to have some corruption. I’d like to have a reasonable minimum standard of living for everyone before we run off and let capitalism give us multi-billionaires. If everyone was guaranteed enough for a decent standard of living, I’d be fine with the rest being as capitalistic as anyone wants. But we dont have that. Minimum wage is $7. Healthcare is shit and tied to employment. Etc. etc.
I’m fine with ads. It costs money to run servers and build out the platform.
I’m not fine with the absolutely sleezy way spez handled the api changes and the ridiculous price. Utterly disrespectful to the mods, third party app devs, and Reddit users.
It’s easy to get a following by fostering fear and hate. Literally just blame and vilify a group and blame them for all the problems your target audience has.
I do agree males are disproportionately impacted by certain things… look at prison, suicide, etc. but I also think feminism would correct that. I’m a truly equal society, men wouldn’t bare the brute of the stress of financial support, for example. I also think in a truly equal society, the notion that men chase women goes away. People are just out there trying to find love and/or happiness.
If you have that, a lot of the symptoms you mentioned, where men are disproportionately affected go away.
