Hi guys, Jon here.
Garfield passed away in his sleep last night after eating at an Olive Garden buffet earlier in the night. It was sudden and we’re still in shock. I don’t know how this could have happened, but I just didn’t want you guys to be left in the dark.
Thank you.
I propose a minimum tax of 25% for billionaires.
Just 25%.
That would raise $500 billion over the next 10 years.
Imagine what that could do for America.

Former President Obama just summed up the Gun debate in under a minute:
"I think somehow — and there are a lot of historical reasons for this — gun ownership in this country became an ideological issue, and a partisan issue, in ways that it shouldn't be. It has become sort of a proxy for arguments about our culture wars, you know? Urban versus rural. Race is always an element in these issues. Issues of class and education, and so forth.
Instead of just taking a very practical approach, like we do, let's say, for example, with car safety, where we say, 'All right, we got a bunch of accidents. Let's have seat belts. And let's make cars safer. And let's engineer our roads so that we prevent them. Instead of thinking about it in a very pragmatic way, we end up really arguing about identity, and emotion, and all kinds of stuff that does not have to do with keeping our children safe."
I'd love to hear both sides of the political spectrum weigh in on this clip.
Nothing is real. Work isn't real. There's no sense of accomplishment in doing anything. Compensation is insufficient. Every industry is being sucked dry by private equity. Without a sense of security, humans can't make plans and without plans, people can't experience hope.
