Texas has some constitutional amendments up for a vote Nov. 4. Here’s my summary: If you’re wealthy, the state promises to protect your fortune forever. If you’re poor and accused of a crime, Texas promises to protect the public from you. thebarbedwire.com/2025/10/07/t...
Texas Is Asking Voters to Protect the Rich and Punish the Poor. Will They Do It?

financial advice in a weird time:

-- develop a plan
-- find friends who support you
-- preferably 10 of them
-- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand
-- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos
-- get your wife back
-- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw

simple

Man goes to the doctor, says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'yeah we don't really do anything about that anymore
