I like the way this one makes it look like she's wearing some kind of crazy-ass headpiece. Between the headpiece and the outfit, and the fact that the chairs are so uselessly situated in front of the fireplace, the whole picture just screams "look at me, I'm a fancy bird."

I find this example particularly helpful in order to truly appreciate the scale of the theft required to become a billionaire:
What’s a Billion Dollars? Suppose that every day you got $1,000. In a year you’d have a third of a million, and in three years, one million. Since a billion is 1,000 million, it would take you 3,000 years to earn a billion dollars at this rate. If you started saving $1,000 daily at the time of Christ, 2,000 years ago, today you would have two-thirds of a billion dollars. There are over 3,000 people who own more than a billion, including Elon Musk: $342 Billion, Mark Zuckerberg: $216 Billion, Jeff Bezos: $215 billion, Larry Ellison: $192 billion, and Warren Buffett: $154 Billion. Ask yourself, how could they have possibly earned that money in any realistic sense of the term earn? And if they didn’t earn it, who did, and why is it not in their possession?

Greedy people are a CANCER on the human race.

Billionaires shouldn't be allowed to exist - they haven't earned that money in any way, shape, or form - they STOLE it from many others.

Rob Reiner has given us so many great moments in his 78 years. One of my favorite, though rarely mentioned roles of his is him as Larry 'King' Sturtevant, a crazy minor league football player who drags Jim Rockford into his dangerous lunacy on The Rockford Files (S2 E15). Gonna miss this big lug...

When I first came across this math back in 1996, there were 400 billionaires in the world and Bill Gates was worth $20 Biillion.

Now there are over 3,000 Billionaires and Bill Gates is worth $118 Billion.

Our governments over the last 30 years have FAILED us all.

The follwoing appears on a colorful, non-descript background: What’s a Billion Dollars? Suppose that every day you got $1,000.

When I first came across this math back in 1996, Warren Buffet was worth $16 Biillion. I was disgusted then - I'm well beyond that now.

I think Lyndon Johnson captured it best:
A picture of Lyndon Johnson with his quote: "Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't walk and chew gum at the same time... He's a nice fellow, but he spent too much time playing football without a helmet."

Well, that would make sense - houses are a helluva lot more expensive today.
A graphic shows that in 1985, median U.S. income was $23,620 and median U.S. sales price for a house was $82,800 while in 2025, median annual U.S. income is $83,150 (an increase of 252%) and median U.S. sales price for a house is $416,900 (an increase of 403%).

Interesting stats, but the Margin of Victory is also encouraging.

Youngkin squeaked-by in 2021, Spanberger crushed it in 2025:
A spreadsheet shows Youngkin's 2021 Margin of Victory at 1.95% vs. Spanberger's 2025 Margin of Victory at 15.52% Also shown is an increase in voter turnout from 2021 to 2025 equal to 2.81%

Some of the kindest people I encountered while travelling around with the Dead barely had two quarters to rub together.
A portrait of John Steinbeck, with a quote from The Grapes of Wrath: "If you're in trouble or hurt or need, go to poor people. They're the only ones that'll help, the only ones."
