The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Look I don’t like Trump but I also realize people age differently some is a mixture lifestyle, poverty, stress and some is genetics.

I think part of it is for a variety of social, psychological, and developmental reasons most people’s musical tastes are deeply tied to what they listened to from 14-25 years.

This falls into the category of no shit. I think most conservatives know this and just don’t care.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

Powerful statement.

Also it is fewer soybeans than previous year.

Unfortunately given years of starving public education, a right wing propaganda machine, and social media which reinforces people’s views it will likely be effective with many.

I am sure there are some teams kicking themselves.

Is he still in the succession line?

Paul B @newzealander1.bsky.social · 4d

I guess this does not stop him being in the line of succession.

Combine the movies House of Dynamite and Dr Stangelove

Then add significantly more stupidity, ego, mendacity, sociopathy, and incompetence.

Yup no chance of a tail risk event. 😗🪦💥

It wasn’t that long ago when a very brief social meeting a former President caused an AG to recuse themselves from a case.

I don’t think big raises come till they are free agents after 6 years as they cannot just freely leave. I believe there is some sort of mediation or something but his upside is limited for a few years.

I think from a MLB award rules he is still considered a rookie next year as well.

He did get a 4 million signing bonus. But he has proved to be perhaps one of the best draft picks in years by any team.

Perhaps you should consider actually considering coming out of your little hole and sitting down with Democrats. Particularly given you are the House Squeaker
