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.

Would you rather have X-ray vision or Eurovision?

An aurora visible across much of the earth proves the sun is still pissed about being eclipsed.

"I paid off MY #student #loans myself! Why should these kids get theirs #forgiven?"

Dude. You had $3,000 in student loans. Some of "these kids" graduated from college $70,000 in debt for the same degree you got, now they're earning half as much as you did for a comparable job and they have no expectation of any retirement benefits, and they've been paying on that loan for fifteen years and owe more on it now than they did when they started paying it. They are being ruthlessly exploited by student loan management companies whose entire business model is based upon gouging people who are struggling to pay off their student loans.

Would it fucking KILL YOU to show a little compassion and understanding?

A portrait of an IRS that has been made helpless to collect taxes owed by the very rich, no matter how blatantly and shamelessly they cheat. Super reporting here by the NY Times and @ProPublica.

13/ [Parloff had citations throughout that I’m not including]:

We had a starker example back in Nov 2023. Trump asked Cannon to put off the SDFla trial because of the DC trial date, while failing to tell her that, later that same evening, he was filing a motion in DC to stay the DC case entirely. Govt brought it to her attn.

On NPR this evening, they had on one of the Biden campaign officials so of course tried to get him to say something that they could make go viral about Gaza and/or Israel.

I loved the advisor's answer on the issue. No, the campus protests are not impacting his decision making on military matters. He's running on his record as commander-in-chief. Joe Biden cares too much about the USA and her allies to do anything other than to follow his instincts and advice from his national security experts.

BREAKING NEWS 🚨

The Pentagon and SpaceX blocked Russians' access to Starlink in Ukraine

The occupiers received unauthorized access to satellite systems from Elon Musk's company.

COUPLE OF POINTS...
- If Musk shut it down, he could have done it day 1, but didn't.

- I'm sure the Pentagon held a gun to Musk's head to get him to block Russian access.

- I hope the Pentagon stays on top of Musk's Russian blockage!
