That's a state issue.

Texas is the poster child for no regulation and California is the same for over regulation.

I've started two(three, but one is just a LLC buying real estate) and...it was VERY easy, very little regulation other than a liquor license. 

im talking about actually making a factory or something to create something... not just any old business. 

like the tweet below that post about making steel.

that corp has the money to deal with the regs etc... to make a steel mill.

no person could at this point make a steel mill. no group of people could make one.

i mean someone called the cops on a kid who was selling food to earn money to buy school clothes.

he wasn't up to code. luckily the inspectors helped him get to code instead of shutting him down.

Cute Tweet. Pick a Metric and show me which one the Republicans are better at than the Democrats?

GDP growth?
Unemployment?
The Stock Market?
Growth of the middle class?

Where have Republicans done better at handling the Economy than the Democrats?

you would have to take that up with cooke

im not kidding when i say

scourge 165 for economics advisor

he seems pretty smart to me.

now if we can just get him with the attitude of taking it to these other countries for once.

so many people claim it's trump that wants NATO to pay... and all these other countries to pay for these tariffs.

Well, these ideas existed many years ago... Ron Paul wrote a book, and I think Trump read it.

i agree, we need to start making stuff here again.

but first we have to deal with the fact that if i start something...

i suddenly have 20-50 govt agencies crawling up my behind

and maybe other problems which i will post in a min.

what gets me is 

all of the GOVT orgs that are crawling up my behind were created to help citizens.

but they make it so your ordinary citizen can't do anything... 

the only entity rich enough to create is the huge corp.

and you know who lobbies for regulations in many instances... huge corps...

to root out competition

the quote was about 1.3 million illegal aliens receiving benefits

it's not happening!

Every benefit program we looked at was being accessed by these people. 1.3 million of them are on Medicaid right now, today. And by the way, it's just ramping. It's just starting … They found hard hits in the target center of very bad people, criminals and people on terrorist watch lists, that are in this group.”

Before he owned Twitter he couldn’t make everyone read his opinions like he can now 

wait, he makes you read his opinions? 

mental illness.

can confirm.

i mean, you want to die somewhere that you were happy.. ok.. go there and kill yourself.

don't do anything to anyone else.

that tells me this is bs 

she wanted to kill those who she felt were... laundry list of things.. a,b,c, 

holy cow

burned 3 american flags

however, did you afford to buy so many? 

he didn't post on X before he owned it? 

but weren't we talking about the president?

my daughter went to buy a jeep. there was no mention of employee pricing.

Curious.  When he was a liberal.  Was he a politician then or no?   Not trolling. 

'well, he wasn't a liar then, b/c... reasons'

my roth has been up and down the last 6 months... it dropped after the third quarter or 2024, then back up a bit, and is up a bit again, but not as much.

im a little worried about this next quarter... 

but like scourge, it's my secondary.

I'm not sure what you're talking about?

Trump only verbally trashed the Chip Act and the Chips Act has been...wildly successful. 

I guess you could say he's trashing it now though. 

you made it sound as if he ended it 

it sounds like there is some shenanigans going on to make some money
