While no individuals should ever be that wealthy to begin with, it's good to see some of them are capable of letting it go in their old age and returning it to the community rather than selfishly hording it.
Vaughan said that the judge told the court “this is what happens whenever parents allow teenagers to drink alcohol, to swim in pools with their undergarments on,”
Yeah we don’t need that dude in a position of power. Good riddance.
Sounds good on paper but in the 80s/90s the US people were told 401ks are better than pensions. Now in order to retire we all have to cheer on non-stop expansion of corporations or we can never retire.
Social media sites should just stop operating in those states that want to regulate the way people use them. Watch how fast the regulations change if they do that
If they purge all their future medical practitioners all they do is shoot themselves in the foot. I hope they realize they have the power here before they cave.

I think he's trying to get that soft power he used to have where he could make threats and the west would appease him to some degree to avoid nuclear war.
Though IMO whether the nuclear arsenal is working or not, those bluffs should be called each time, otherwise that line will keep getting pushed until it reaches the point where a demand cannot be met or compromised and then we're in the same spot we'd be if we had just called the first bluff, except Putin also has the benefit of each previous appeasement.
When they say, "don't do x or we will nuke you", assume they won't decide to end civilization unless x is "launch nukes" or "destroy Russia". The only way they will launch nukes if they aren't facing destruction themselves is if they think they can survive the response.
