Some dorkwad told me I was jealous of Elon Musk because he is the “most successful person on the planet”.
I responded that I have one very important thing that Elon Musk will never have:
Enough.

I went up to the Hill to ask Mike Johnson what he thought of Trump usurping Congress's powers to invade and occupy Venezuela. He said this was the first he was hearing of the invasion and thus he couldn't comment on it.

IIRC the Irish have a similar story.
Take it from a Filipino, even if you despise the current rulers of your country, you will live to regret the day the United States comes in to remove them

Lee: As a Black woman, there’s no way I don’t have hope. I’ve seen a lot in my life, and we have these moments of backward steps. But we have hope. I see hope. I see our young people—they have hope. I see them fighting hard for our democracy and for a better life.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The condescension and moral preening are getting all the glory in this email, but don’t sleep on the new head of CBS News declaring that the last 7 days were a “slow news week.”
New Bari Weiss & CBS leadership note to staff—
“…Americans say they do not trust the press…To win back their trust, we have to work hard.”
“Sometimes it means telling unexpected stories…sometimes it means holding a piece about an important subject to make sure it is comprehensive and fair.”

We've invested heavily in a clown shoe factory and are honestly baffled why people don't see the value add (and commensurate price increase) of unremoveable clown shoes added to every order.
We prioritize safe clown shoes, and will help you learn to walk in them, why don't you want them???

Is this platform still against wearing giant clown shoes or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

The problem is affordability; talking about inflation misses the critical points. Here's a good article (it starts with a brief market report and then gets to the main topic):

I suspect what they're thinking is "Galt goes to Mars instead of Antarctica"
Humans will NEVER colonize another planet. Never.
If we can’t even agree to do the minimum to keep Earth habitable, there’s no way in hell we’ll cooperate to make another planet habitable.
