History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.

$32 billion squandered in EDD fraud

Michael Keaton dropping TLC refs is an inspired all-timer.
Living in Los Angeles means paying fees, taxes, surcharges & “assessments” on everything.
You’re not imagining it—LA residents are being bled dry by a thousand cuts.
Let’s break down the insane amount of money Angelenos pay just to live here:
