The average 30 year old millennial has $63,000 of wealth. The average boomer in their 30s had $58,000… in 1989 dollars. That’s $130,000 today.

Boomers have captured so much of the wealth that people today have less than half of what the average baby boomer had at the same age.

Of course! Me work for show! Me got to listen in on recording session! Second-favorite musical moment on show, only behind getting shout-out from Stevie Wonder. Now that was magical day on set.

I am morbidly fascinated by Trump's occasional meanderings into existential questions about hell (even though I don't believe in it) because I think somewhere in the rotted hollow innards of his psyche where nothing grows, there's a dawning spark of realization about how little he really has

money could buy my friends with shitty, soul-crushing jobs they're only keeping for the health insurance a year of rest to work on creative projects and take care of their bodies and minds (and cats, and gardens, and families), but it can't buy Elon Musk kids who actually like him

Many Harris supporters knew what Trump's agenda was, and were gobsmacked and traumatized so many voted for it.

Many (most?) Trump voters did not really know what his agenda was, now are finding out, and are unhappy.
