toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 27/09/2026That’s quite a scam. They sign up and pay premiums so they can rake in millions by….not filing any claims. That kind of thing could absolutely break the insurance industry! 000
toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 19/09/2026And the GOP won’t do a damn thing about it and her MAGA voters will re-elect her. Public ethics is a relic of a prior time. 030
toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Any decline in Lennar’s pricing has to be considered in terms of the average size of the houses they are selling. Because rates are higher (driving mortgage payments up), home builders are building smaller starter homes. 000
toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 18/09/2026He notes every community has police. But if local police arrest someone in error and beat the snot out of them, they can be held liable. ICE “professionals” face zero accountability. Even when they murder someone. 010
toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Trump’s rural sycophants never seem to mind that he sh*ts on them all the time. Their attitude is they’ll take economic pain as long as he will say mean things about trans people and pretend that he knows Jesus. 120
toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Yes, I wish we would. But the PR battle is in the here and now and the battle to go metric is not as high a priority. (I grew up in the 1970s when we were told conversion to metric was “just around the corner.”) 010
toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Just some unsolicited PR advice; when posting on US social media sites, don’t use Celsius (that softens the number to folks used to F scale). 200
toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I’m a centrist, independent (former GOP), capitalist who thought “Defund the Police” was one of the dumbest ideas/slogans ever in political discourse. But I agree with el-Sayed’s take on ICE. It should be abolished and lawbreakers should be held to account. (A new INS/border patrol is needed.) 000
toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Firefighters and Police Officers are two professions that generally have very good pensions. I used to work in municipal govt and most firefighters have second careers (often self-employed) starting in their 50s (while they collect full retirement). There are other, much better examples. 100

toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Benefits are (loosely) based on incomes during a person’s working life. Would you also uncap the benefit? Perhaps a lower rate above the current cap, with no additional benefit would be a more fair option. 281

toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 10/08/2026It’s amazing how badly Trump has botched this situation and foreign affairs generally. He is a rare American president to not only lose a war diplomatically, but also strategically and tactically. And yet, his legion of brain dead fans still believe the Fox propaganda that he is “strong.” 000

toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Absolutely insane. In today’s drone-driven battlefields those would be very, very, very expensive targets for any enemy. Similar to Germany’s battleships in WW I, which never left the Baltic because they didn’t want to lose expensive assets to the Royal Navy. (You can’t lose what you don’t use!) 020

toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Trump has put US taxpayers in equity stakes in about 30 companies so far this term. He regularly intervenes in markets and now institutionalized that with his preferential Truth Social scheme. There is no small-government, laissez-faire political party in USA. 010
toffeetex.bsky.social @toffeetex.bsky.social · 05/08/2026In general, I agree with this take. A large swath of voters don’t want to think of themselves as a disenfranchised class at war with a group they view aspirationally. Business owners (large and small) risk capital to make money—which also creates jobs. This still leaves room for proper regulation! 111
