- 1/ My retired orthopedic surgeon dad: "Never, ever, EVER let anyone cut your back. It rarely provides relief. It almost always makes things worse. It's the Vietnam of orthopedic surgery."All discussions of motive for Luigi Mangione have to start with his back pain. Anyone who has lived with it can tell you how debilitating it can be.

- I like Americans. I like their food. I like their work ethic. I like it they are like me. I like it that America is simply the most incredible country ever. I'd like to keep it that way. I can’t be the only American who feels this way. DEPORT THEM ALL.I like immigrants. I like their food. I like their work ethic. I like it they are different from me.

- Replying to @BrowningMachine2/ Ironically...dad let someone cut his back, for a simple bulging disk--ie, "radiculopathy". We still don't know what happened; was a somatic virus let into the protected central space? Was the instrument contaminated? A virus has been eating his spinal cord and now, parts of

- REMINDER: Marx was a chronically unemployed life-long alcoholic who grew up in a rich family, blew his money, blew his wife's inheritance, was so poor and neglectful four of his seven kids starved, then sucked Engels' money.

- Gosh-DAYUM this guy just beats balls out of the park, over the stands, into the lights, with a shower of sparks every time. He doesn't just hate the media; Trump opened that window. He explains in detail why they're shit, and rubs them in it. Then demolishes Wokeism, too.WAPO reporter doubles down: You didn’t say that you condemn white supremacy though. She immediately regrets it. @VivekGRamaswamy isn’t going to play the game.
00:00 - We have SO MUCH pent-up IQ waiting to be unleashed in America. The kids I've met, 20somethings doing AC who were EE students at Texas A&M... Pay those guys what they're actually worth, $250k+, and you'll have a baby boom, SpaceX full of geniuses, and a thermonuclear economy.Replying to @VBierschwaleH1Bs have completely taken over most tech hiring, I have so much deep tech experience, spent 4 years at Google and have created many famous apps and so much more. The recruiters that reach out are 99% Indians from India and national and as soon as they figure I am not Indian,

There are plenty of jobs "Americans won't do for the price being offered."
