He continued: “…but all property superfluous to such purposes is the property of the public, who by their laws have created it, and who may therefore by other laws dispose of it, whenever the welfare of the public shall demand such disposition…”
“He that does not like civil society on these terms, let him retire and live among savages. He can have no right to the benefits of society, who will not pay his club towards the support of it.” - Benjamin Franklin
Earlier: "The remissness of our people in paying taxes is highly blameable, the unwillingness to pay them is still more so. I see in some resolutions of town-meetings, a remonstrance against giving congress a power to take as they call it, the people’s money out of their pockets—

Seed oils, in moderation, are perfectly fine for you

The thing about "seed oils" is that all of the potential concerns aren't specific to that category. Too much Omega 6? Avoid soy/corn oil, canola is fine. Issues with solvent extraction? Go with expeller pressed. Oxidation from repeated cooking? Don't overdo it on deep frying

In a narrow sense it's absolutely true that people making $250k in a given year would be net payers with an expanded welfare state - as OP acknowledges in the next tweet. He's also right that there are benefits beyond strict costs, like consumption smoothing and stability
But I want to make a broader point about incomes. When we talk about "a person in poverty" or "a person making $250k" we tend to take a point in time measurement and act as if that is a constant state

I went to Salt Point State Park ImageImageImageImage
On the second day we hiked up to Kruse Rhododendron State Nature Reserve. AllTrails didn't have preset loops, but we were able to stitch together some trails to make one. It ended up being quite an adventure, there were rough stretches, but highly recommended if you come out here Image
The rhododendron still have a few months until full bloom, but insane amounts of other flowers, especially on the beach ImageImageImageImage
