Elon

Twitter is like booze, everyone knows it is bad for you but a lot of people indulge anyway. I've had a Twitter account since about 2016 but until this year never opined on anything. It really is a nasty habit. I've been trying to get banned intentionally for a few months now by reposting Babylon Bee stories, but haven't been able to get it done yet. (C'mon man, you banned them, why can't I get banned for reposting them?)

I don't think the Twitter user experience will get significantly better with Elon Musk as the new owner, but at least the company will be less likely to trample on people who don't bend the knee to the woke leftist agenda. If the sale goes through, I'm sure we will hear stories in the next few weeks about snowflakes who are traumatized that their employer will no longer be able to ban conservatives for expressing opinions that even five years ago would not have been "problematic." I'm sure if you want to switch jobs, some other woke company that thinks grooming is a constitutional right (Disney for example) will pay you for your intolerant snark.

BS on parade

You can buy a "Tax the Rich" hat for $26.99 (including shipping), a screaming deal at 20% off. The merchant – AOC.

I've got a proposal for making the rich pay their fair share, such as people who have a $180K+ salary, a generous pension, generous health benefits, an unlimited expense account and an online retail presence – make them pay back their student loans.

Update: Another modest proposal. If you want to institute a wealth tax, go after the $50+ billion in the Harvard endowment and the billions at other schools. They have profited handsomely from the government takeover of student loans, time for them to pay their FAIR SHARE!
