Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.

You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

Katie Miller has a master's degree and a career. It appears that she has consistently worked since she was 20. She can open a bank account, own property, and have a credit card in her name. She has access to no-fault divorce and would be entitled to child support for her baby if she and Stephen Miller divorce. She has laws protecting her against physical abuse and rape by her spouse. She had access to birth control and abortion, meaning that having a baby was a choice.

She is very much not living the life that the "propaganda. . . convinced" women was oppressive. She is living the life that feminism made possible.

Of course, she knows this. She's just a liar.

As a DC9 union painter with 30+ years in coatings, I’m looking at the failure not a conspiracy theory.
When a coating is lifting off in large sheets like this, that points to an adhesion failure: improper surface preparation, contamination left behind, the wrong coating system, poor recoat timing, or water introduced before the system fully cured.

A quality two-part epoxy system can perform well but the product is only as good as the prep and application. The substrate has to be properly profiled/cleaned, the specified primer or first coat applied correctly, recoat windows followed, and the full system allowed to cure before being put back into service.

That is not “vandals.” That is a coating failure that deserves a real independent inspection and an explanation of exactly what system was specified and how it was applied.

This rise in unhappiness is not just important in its own right, but because it's affecting politics. This big pool of discontented men = potential energy for unscrupulous politicians.

Americans realizing it is illegal to touch water in public but if you touch children on private islands you will become the president of the US

[Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal]

Imagine a country where you can get a 10 year prison sentence for removing peeling paint from a pool…

And receive no prison sentence for raping a child.

Welcome to America.

I haven’t seen anyone attacking Hinduism. People deserve to know that a secretive guru-led sect is puppeteering our former Director of National Intelligence!

NOTHING about this is “anti-Hindu” it’s just a story of political influence. Stop using Hindus as a shield for a cult-leader scandal!

Tulsi is part of a sect called the “Science of Identity Foundation,” run by a self-proclaimed guru named Chris Butler, who goes by the name Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa.

The report found memos telling Tulsi what policies to support, what bills to introduce, what to say in interviews, how to message Syria and Assad, how to frame anti-ISIS legislation, and how to handle questions about Butler himself.

She used his lines word for word and introduced legislation after Chris sent her memos to do so.

Certainly worth knowing that a secretive guru-led sect had a hidden channel for directing the politics, messaging, and policy agenda of our Director of National Intelligence.

FWIW I first met Tulsi 15 years ago (she would use her Hindu faith to raise money from Indians) and have always found something seriously off about her, nothing about this is surprising to me.

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.

If you steal a paint chip it's 10 years in prison but take what you want from our Capitol, that's worth a pardon.

In the old USSR, people could be arrested for photographing bridges, tunnels, etc. A repressive and paranoid regime assumed the photographers must be spies and saboteurs. Americans laughed at such petty tyranny. Nothing like that could happen in their free country! Until now.

Then why did your boss commute the 20 year prison sentence of Philip Esformes, the Florida health care executive convicted of a $1.3 billion Medicare and Medicaid fraud scheme, after just 14 months served?

Why had he pardoned more than 70 fraudsters?

[Aadit Sheth @aaditsh]

Meta paid $900M for a 20% stake in CRED (no board seat and no access to customer data).

Basically a $900M hire. The Cred stake is the wrapper.

Kunal built the company from $1m of his own capital to $300M+ in annual revenue and around 20M members.

First profitable quarter this year. IPO was next.

He's leaving all of it to run WhatsApp and its 3 billion users as a full time employee.

He was in prison for life, then Kristi Noem let him out, and now....

Mark Milk whose life sentence for manslaughter was commuted by then-SD Gov. Kristi Noem has been charged in connection with the death of a 14-year-old girl, in what authorities are calling a "horrific" case.

Apparently, Lamine was a bright-eyed boy until he held up a Palestine flag. Then, he became controversial.

The journalists who make a living romanticising athletes like Muhammad Ali are the first to punish those who try to use their voice for something meaningful today.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Violent crime is really just a tiny fringe of very bad people terrorizing the vast mass of nice normal people.

We need to put that tiny fringe of violent villains in PRISON.

PRISON, PRISON, PRISON.
