Lot of people confidently missing the point in the replies to this: if every cent of Elon musks net wealth was liquid, which it isn’t, that’s not even enough money to run the govt for two weeks. The problem less that they have money, and more how they use that money in destabilizing ways.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Billionaire money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.

It is frankly strange to be this obsessed with college if you no longer attend one and do not work in education. More people in legacy media need to be told that.

And who is the author of this op-ed? The billionaire CEO of an asset management firm who helped author the compact.

mad respect for an exec to correctly identify the scrimblo that is Poliwhirl, decades before the basic tenants of scrimbology would be established, such as, 'I like him' and 'he's just a lil guy'

Every once in a while, I see people wonder why, out of all of the available Pokémon to choose, Poliwhirl was so often shown front and center. Especially in the case of Pokémon's marketing in America.

Well, I'm going to do my best to answer that question now.

I think the farmer thing is still not sinking in for a lot of people that didn't grow up around it.

Farming is already an extremely hard market to break into. Most new equipment, which you must sign away your rights to maintain on your own, cost upwards of 1.5 to 2 million dollars. Each.

farmers are probably generationally fucked. medicaid recipients are fucked barring some fix in the next budget round. rural health care systems are toast. employment is looking *very* wobbly.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

Where consumers believe Lays potatoes are grown

The Wall Street Journal @wsj.com · 16h

Lay’s is America’s top-selling brand of potato chips. Its maker doesn’t think it has been clear enough to consumers the chips are made with farm-grown potatoes.
