@ericweinstein That’s the problem. All the critics want the money so they can spend it in ways that will benefit them with a little to the people on the side. Typical politician.
Remember the Mississippi couple Billy and Virginia Blair who were murdered in their home by 17 year old Cordarius Hobbs last week?
Turns out his two older brothers Cortavious and Cortavion Hobbs were just caught after shooting a Covington County deputy during a traffic stop.
That deputy will never walk again.
Three brothers. One family. Two separate violent crimes in five days. This is the story the national media doesn't want to talk about?
Amid all the predictable seething jealousy and bitter resentment to this news, I’d like to congratulate @elonmusk on an astounding achievement. He’s got there by being the most driven, creative, hard-working and ambitious business genius in history. Salut, Elon! 👏👏
I'm too spent to offer much of an update, but she's home. She's where she needs to be. There was one final twist, which I will tell you about later. It might be meaningful down the road and it is mingling my relief with a sense of disquiet. But she's home. Thank God.
This guy’s reported net worth is $232 million. It’s always fascinating to watch centi-millionaires say billionaires are the enemy. Reminds me of Bernie always going after “millionaires and billionaires,” then he became a millionaire, then switched up to just saying “billionaires”
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.
Elon Musk is now a trillionaire. They’re driving Brink’s trucks loaded up with cash to his house as we speak. He took all the money from the rest of us and they’re just letting him get away with it. It’s an outrage. I’m shaking with righteous anger.
A 5 year old German Shepherd who was shot and killed in the line of duty while assisting officers during a domestic violence call.
Two officers were also injured during the incident. Please keep these officers, their families, and Corporal Walsh, who lost his loyal partner and friend, in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
Rest easy, K9 Knight. Your watch has ended, but your legacy of service and bravery will live on forever. 🙏💙
