What does a hedge fund manager do? Manage capital. Make bets on currencies, rates, inflation, bonds, etc. What did Scott Bessent do? Lose 87% of $4.5B fund. From $4.5B to $577M. 50% of time, he lost money. Presenting Mr. DEI👇

Let’s talk about DEI. Your current Treasury Secretary is Scott Bessent. Colossally incompetent. He was hedge fund manager. Learned from best - Soros, Druckenmiller. What did he do on his own? Lose nearly $4B. So Dummy promoted him.

Why should we tax the wealthy? They hold over $7.6T. Most of it has never been taxed. Most of them have an effective tax rate lower than yours. Tax wealth, not work.

Why should we tax the rich? It only took 150 billionaire families to spend $1.9B on last year’s elections led by who’s who of evils:
- Elmo $292M
- Timothy Mellon $172M
- Miriam Adelson $148M
- Uhleins $144B
- Ken Griffin $109M.

Yeah, tax them.

“The defense secretary underwent a round of cosmetic injections last month.” One insider: “He’s always been full of himself, but lately his ego has been off the charts.”

If Christians are spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation, others have no reason to believe them when they proclaim the gospel of Jesus. We don’t need more Christ in Christmas, we need more Christ in Christians.

C-SPAN caller from Missouri to Missouri Rep. Mark Alford: "I hope you, sir, as an elected official, will think of the people who are in nursing homes, their parents are in nursing homes, their Medicaid is going to be cut. What is going to happen to Missourians whose hospitals are gonna close?"

Current US economy:
- GDP🔻
- Inflation 3%
- Spending🔻
- Jobs non-existent
- Real estate market destroyed
- Trucking recession
- Global growth🔻due to tariffs.

Reminder: at beginning of year, US was envy of world. Leading in growth and stability. It’s all self-inflicted.

Stock market is up, but why? Well…
- Oracle signed $300B deal with OpenAI
- NVIDIA will invest $100B in OpenAI
- Meta and CoreWeave signed $14B deal
- Meta and Google signed $10B deal.

AI infrastructure. Data centers, chips, and computing power. Without it, growth <1%.

Dummy so Dumb. He thinks asbestos got a bad rap. He really believes that the movement against asbestos was led by…the mob. Further, he believes asbestos is ‘100% safe, once applied’. For the record, 107k people a year die from asbestos-related cancers and diseases.

Dummy so Dumb. He believes baldness is a sign of weakness. Weird, old, fat man somehow believes that ‘worst thing a man can do is go bald’. I’m guessing he also believes the bronzer makes his skin impenetrable.

Imagine knowing – being absolutely sure – that when you die, 65 or 70% of the country and the world will celebrate your death like nothing they've ever celebrated anything before.

My wish for everyone would be to be able to travel the world. To see that we’re all really the same. We all want the same things in life - work, play, take care of our family, and live safely. Good for you- enjoy.

Become a congressman. Big pay, fly anywhere anytime, make it 5 years and get pension plus Social Security. If Rs are in power, months off work. After? Become a lobbyist. Yup, 60% end up lobbying *something*. Same companies they govern, they lobby. Who do they work for?

MikeyestMikeyMike @mikeyestmikeymike.bsky.social · 4d

Not a bad gig, if you can get it. $174k per year. A pension after 5 years of service at ripe old age of 62. Or a full pension after 25 years in Congress at any age. The pension? Retire, voted out, or resign - it’s all the same. And after? 40% become lobbyists anyways.
