4.3 inches vs 360 miles
It's almost impossible to grasp the magnitude of US wealth inequality & concentration:

$100K saved for retirement is a 4.3-inch stack of $100 bills.

$1M: 43 inches.

$1B: 3,600 feet. 12 football fields. World's tallest building is 2,722 feet.

Musk: $486B. 330 miles high. 60 Mt. Everests, stacked.

We’re appropriately focused on all of the awful things we’re about to face during the next four years but we’re going to miss all of the little things we’ve come to expect from a normal president too.

Note to feckless House Republicans: Regardless of what Elon Musk thinks, Trump’s so-called “mandate” did NOT justify slashing $190 million for 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 from the government funding bill.

Restore the funding, you heartless bastards!

Buried deep inside Mike Johnson’s short-term government funding bill is a 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 — the first since 2009. If approved this week, lawmakers will get an annual pay raise as high as $6,600. Outrageous!

This didn’t get enough media attention when it happened so I’m posting it again. The Biden’s were not only innocent, they were framed. And the GOP knew it and amplified the lie anyway.
