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 else’s 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.
It’s 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.

I see a lot of media ppl applauding Rick Bowness for his rant. The same media members who lead the “good effort brigade” every damn year. You’re not allowed. You’re part of the reason this franchise has been an embarrassment for 25 years.
"Coach I have news for you, there is no such thing as the 68 best teams. There aren't 68 teams who deserve to play for a National Title. There also aren't 12 teams that deserve to play for a CFB Title, there aren't 16, there aren't 24.
@BeauBishop on an undefeated Miami being left out of March Madness
Indiana won the National Championship.
Darnold won the Super Bowl.
Apply for that job.
Hit up your crush.
Start the dream business.
2026 is the year to just go for it all.
Many people believe the NFL is making a political statement by picking Bad Bunny to perform at the Super Bowl, but I really think it's as simple as...
1. He's the world's most popular artist
2. Having him perform advances the NFL’s long-stated goal of international expansion
3. Picking someone with little overlap with the average NFL fan will help the league set a new viewership record — Americans will watch no matter what, and Bad Bunny pulls in new viewers who might not have tuned in otherwise.
Music aside, it makes a lot of business sense.
Rick Bowness should already be the leading candidate for Coach of the Year.
He went from vacationing on his boat 18 days ago. Now he has the Jackets 7 and 1.

@BeauBishop I listened all week to the Fan and was shocked by every show saying OSU would win and cover. Dudes, this offensive line is a major problem. I mean MAJOR. You can have Ferrari features all you want on the outside but if you have an old beat up Pontiac Sunfire under the hood. Yikes
We’ll talk about the missed kick and the TO on downs from earlier, but look no further than terrible 3rd down calls on each drive. They deserve their fate.
