Hey Mark, you're worth around $35 million while continuing to land major Hollywood roles. You could donate $25-30 million tomorrow and still live an extremely comfortable life for the rest of your days.
At a conservative 4% safe withdrawal rate, even a remaining $5-10 million would generate roughly $200,000-$400,000 a year in passive income, several times what the average family earns. On top of that, you own multiple luxury properties, including a New York penthouse reportedly worth around $7 million, and you're still taking on film roles that pay millions.
Lecturing others while sitting on tens of millions yourself is peak Hollywood...
As for Elon, his charitable giving has far exceeded your entire net worth tenfold. And as for the idea that he can simply "solve world hunger" by writing one giant cheque only demonstrates your fundamental misunderstanding of how global hunger actually works. It's not a problem that disappears because one wealthy person transfers money into the system.
You need a basic economics lesson and a mirror, because your hypocrisy is matched only by your lack of self-awareness.
🚨 AI JUST DID WHAT CONGRESS HOPED NOBODY WOULD… IT CONNECTED THE DOTS. 🚨
For years, Americans have suspected that members of Congress were profiting from information unavailable to everyone else.
Now an AI platform called GovGreed has analyzed 190,000 congressional stock trades, 45,000 bills, campaign finance records, committee assignments, and voting histories, and the numbers are staggering.
According to the analysis:
📊 56% of all congressional stock purchases over the last 16 months, 6,170 out of 11,016 purchases, were in companies directly affected by legislation the buyer later voted on.
🏛️ 343 of 540 sitting members of Congress (63.8%) actively trade individual stocks while serving in office.
🚨 The AI identified 752 active “Triple Signals”, cases where a lawmaker:
• Sat on the committee overseeing a bill
• Traded stock in a company affected by that bill
• Received campaign donations from that same industry
According to the platform, bills with all three indicators passed at 5.4 times the normal rate.
And here’s what may be the most unbelievable statistic of all…
💵 The penalty for violating the STOCK Act is often just a $200 fine, and the analysis states no member of Congress has ever been prosecuted under the law.
Whether every conclusion drawn by this AI stands up to scrutiny remains to be seen. But the underlying trade disclosures, votes, and campaign finance records it analyzes are public.
The AI didn’t claim to uncover secret files.
It claims it organized public information into patterns that are difficult to ignore.
👀 Should members of Congress be permanently banned from trading individual stocks while in office?
@BamaSaltyMarine Are you saying that humans should use the same methods to become “leader of the pack” that are commonly used in the animal kingdom? In most cases that is brawn over brain.
Colin Cowherd goes OFF on the WNBA’s Caitlin Clark snub:
“They dropped a commemorative poster for 30 years of the WNBA. Caitlin Clark isn’t on it… but Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese are.
When she entered the league, they had to move her road games to bigger arenas just to fit her fans. She upgraded the WNBA from Southwest back rows to private jets.
Yet she’s left off the 30-year anniversary poster?
It’s either incompetence or intentional. Both are embarrassing.”
I hope @LeaderJohnThune sees this message…
“I hope you're watching this. You, John, are a coward, traitor, spineless, nutless.
The American people, 85% of us, want the Save America Act passed. And you're running home for 19 days and then going back to DC for a couple days and then taking a month off.
You're a f*cking coward. Do your f*cking job or resign.
And to the 52 other GOP senators who aren't calling for John Thune's removal, pathetic. You guys should be ashamed of yourself. Each one of you should be in front of a camera right now demanding that John Thune's removed.
To everybody else, happy Thursday.”
