Wondering if wealth inequality is out of control?

Well, Jeff Bezos made over $7.9 million an hour last year.

In just 13 minutes, he made the equivalent of what a typical person earns in a lifetime.

Don't tell me that the rich can't afford a wealth tax.

Much of the coverage of Nigel Farage's outside interests focuses on the £1.2 million a year he makes from GB News.

I'm more struck by his working hours outside politics - he declares 72 hours a month, plus an extra 64 hours of recent one-off work.

How does he find the time to be an MP?

Surely a starting point would be to represent Clacton on the British Stage officially known as The House of Commons. But that's a bit too small for "Nige" isn't it. It would be funny if it wasn't so cynical and pathetic. I wonder what the good people of Clacton think?

Trump starts off with absolute word salad about "both gangs on the street and frankly gangs outside of our country in the form of other countries that are frankly very powerful, they're very powerful countries and we don't know what we're doing."

This is the 'I can chew and walk gum at the same time' Ron DeSantis?
Never Back Down, the influential super PAC supporting Gov. Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign, has canceled $2.5 million worth of television ads in Iowa and New Hampshire, according to a media tracking company.
