I wish people would spend more time seeking additional perspectives before resorting to outrage or taking sides. Confirmation bias serves as nothing less than a disservice to oneself and the society at large.
The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.
And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.
One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.
Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.
If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.
Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone elseβs savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.
Alternatively
There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.
To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.
Itβs the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)
Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.
Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up
But
They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks
Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.
.@FLOWJamaica is going to continue to lose a lot of customers if they keep pushing ppl to the WhatsApp line, where nobody responds for hours and can't wait for more than 10 mins before closing out the transaction. Been trying to resolve my wifi issues from last week.
@FLOWJamaica Iβve been trying to add data to my account for 3 weeks and I was told thereβs an error that needs to be escalated and to keep giving them 24 hours. Now Iβve been waiting more than an hour to speak to someone. Please assist in resolving this urgently.
Christian worship singer Brandon Lake says he experienced the most holy moment in worship of his entire life during Charlie Kirk's memorial.
Lake says he still has goosebumps remembering when no one sang for 9 minutes and only the strings were playing.
"I never in a million years thought that He would bring about revival in this way. I always thought it would happen in the four walls of a church..."
"The church is happening, maybe even more so, outside of the four walls of where you attend on Sunday..."
Praise God.

Jamaican track twitter has become a dark, toxic and ignorant place. I used to enjoy here during the Olympics.
It was fun, mostly positive and verbal spars with the Americans were lighthearted.
I looked closer at this picture and Noah's mum has the Jamaican flag painted on her nails in support for Junelle. She also drove 40 mins each way to take Junelle training. Even more impactful seeing as Junelle mum has passed. Unnu tek time with Junelle pls - that's her family.
