According to Barron’s, Elon Musk’s wealth increased by almost $200 billion between November 5 and December 20. That means he could give $250,000 to every homeless person in the US and still be as rich as he was on November 5.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, with more than 770,000 people counted as homeless.

Found a little duck in the park today, after walking with the family, and looked up its symbolism: Ducks remind us of the value of sticking with those who are close to us. Their presence encourages us to cherish relationships and enjoy the company of loved ones. 💕💕💕 May your holidays be full & warm.

First term in the books, three poems coming out in Spring. It has been a good week, declining into darkness. Soon the solstice.
