Where did they get those numbers?
What decade are those numbers from?

It's not like they're holding an IOU, they could sell the bonds.

Those ten hold the most, so who could buy the bonds?
If half that many bonds went on sale, the price of the bonds would probably drop. The holders might not get back all that they paid for the bonds.

There are a lot of antennas there.
I hope there is rent involved with placing antennas on the Eiffel Tower.

I am pretty sure that djt's first term went by much faster than Term 2 Year 1.

Are there really 3 more years of this (whatever THIS is)?

Oops, my bad.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway.
All other Nobel Prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden.

Here's a slightly different question for you @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social
Why are we putting money, time, and energy into running Venezuela instead of making the United States work better?

While it appears that the actual medal can be "owned" by other people, the title of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate is forever "owned" by the person to whom it was bestowed (and can't be transferred).

It also doesn't mean that we're seeing the entire, original photo either.

Do we know what the pre-edited original looked like?

Gee, if there were just some way to require CPD to have something like malpractice insurance so that the rest of us wouldn't have to pay for their errors.
