@BostonGlobe Wow! The Scots must have been taking it easy, I would have thought it would be higher.

this is what blows my mind when people act like elon is wildly intelligent instead of just good at extracting wealth from a broken system. DOGE saved us $15 million dollars a year by cutting this program which within two years led to a cost of $1 billion lol. a five year old could tell you that’s not a good deal.

BOOMER: “Nobody wants to work anymore.”

ME: “The warehouse down the road pays $18 an hour.”

BOOMER: “That’s good money.”

ME: “Average rent is $2,200.”

BOOMER: “Get roommates. Work overtime. Stop complaining.”

Funny how every “solution” demands workers lower their standards, kill their free time, and live like broke college students forever.

But nobody ever tells corporations to pay enough to survive.

People keep saying we’re in Idiocracy but President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho at his core wanted what was best for his people and when evidence presented itself he listened to experts to solve the problem. By all accounts a better leader than this.

Billionaire wealth is only real money when they want to buy things, not when they need to pay taxes. How is this not considered tax evasion?

If you are celebrating Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire while living paycheck to paycheck, I have secondhand embarrassment for you.

The amount of joy it gives me that he gets to see his stupid name chiseled off a real president’s memorial… 😈

Opinion: You might have thought the world’s richest man had enough on his plate teeing up history’s biggest IPO. Yet he has been devoting many of his waking hours to stoking up racial hatred in Britain on his social media site. https://t.co/1C09ebAgPg

If you earned $10,000 a day from the dawn of humans 300,000 years ago, you'd have earned less money than Elons wealth.

Tax this shit out of billionaires (and one trillionaire)

[Jenni @hashjenni]

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

The world Cup has started with an opening ceremony in Mexico, as presumably they couldn't guarantee a flag-bearer from every country making it through US immigration

We're going to charge interest on medical debt now when we're also the only developed country where people go bankrupt from medical debt

Commercial advertising, product placements, and corporate-sponsored promotions are explicitly prohibited on national parklands. The White House lawn is a unit of the National Park System. It also violates standard Anti-Vending and Solicitation Laws as well as misuse of public funds and government endorsement ethics. Everything this administration does spits in the face of our laws. Everything is a grift.

feels very on brand for musk to get ratio'd on a website he bought for forty four billion dollars

[Fuck You I Quit @fuckyouiquit]

If we can afford trillionaires, we can absolutely afford for everyone to earn a living wage. The very concept of a trillionaire when the bottom half can't afford rent is batshit crazy.
