THE INSANELY RIGGED ECONOMY
Yesterday, while tens of millions of families were struggling to pay for rent, food, healthcare, childcare and gas, seven of Trump's oligarchic friends became $210 billion richer. Not last week. Not over the past decade. In less than 24 hours, these 7 men, the wealthiest people on earth, became $210 billion richer.
Incredibly, since Trump was elected on November 5, 2024, these 7 men, all Big Tech Oligarchs, have become more than $1.5 trillion richer and are now collectively worth over $2.8 trillion. Meanwhile, we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any other wealthy nation, young adults have a lower standard of living than their parents and over 20% of our seniors are trying to survive on an annual income of $15,000 a year or less.
Yes. We are living in an oligarchy.
A Good Day for Trump’s Friends:
Yesterday, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, got $164.8 billion richer and is now worth $1.4 trillion. He’s worth $1.1 trillion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Larry Page, the second wealthiest man in the world, gained $7.61 billion in wealth and is now worth $314 billion. He’s worth $161 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Sergey Brin, the third richest man in the world, got $7.01 billion richer and is now worth $292 billion. He’s worth $148 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Jeff Bezos, the fourth richest man in the world, gained $6.96 billion in wealth and is now worth $267 billion. He’s worth $46 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Larry Ellison, the fifth wealthiest man in the world, gained $8.92 billion in wealth and is now worth $247 billion. He’s worth $63 billion more than on Election Day.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best: “Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all of God’s children.”
Markwayne Mullin had the FDA delete warnings about the dangers of kratom, an addictive and sometimes lethal drug found in gas stations.
Mullin holds an up to $1 million stake in a major kratom company.
🇮🇷They tried to change the flag.
🇮🇷They tried to move the games.
🇮🇷They tried to keep them out.
Last night the Iranian flag flew proudly in the middle of Los Angeles.
@Gabbar0099 Such kindness & generosity. People like Sadio are wired differently. It takes much focus on self to become a professional athlete. The 1 in 50,000 kind of person. Then add on the selfless concern for others. It makes him 1 in 10 million. May his life be filled with joy.
Sadio Mane : "When I left Bambali, my hometown, I promised three things. Not to disappoint my parents, become a professional football player and return to my village to build a school." So far, he has:
- Built a $693,000 hospital,
- Built a $350,000 school,
- Gives each family €70 monthly,
- Provides 4G internet,
- Gives laptops to students.
The world needs more people like Sadio Mane!

@BarDown Good question for both teams, but IMO Edmonton needs a new GM more than they needed a new coach. The Leafs need a coach who will get more out of the players, especially Matthews & Nylander. I just don’t know who can do that.
