Donny boy… that is not a fight you wanna pick. Do you have anything you don’t want other people knowing? Because this is how everybody finds out about it.

captainlezbian ,

Also these are the coup experts. You want to come to power then go hard after the coup experts. Wise decision.

The greatest thing ever would be if that chucklefuck had a live stream of one of his clan rallies and a flock of birds let loose a torrent of shit on him that could only be rivaled by the torrent of shit he verbalizes on a daily basis.

It would be poetry.

RagingRobot , in Chicago banned unannounced migrant drop-offs. Now this Texas charter bus company is suing over the restrictions

All they need to do is call ahead. It's not that hard. Talk to your colleagues in other states! How do these people call themselves leaders. That term has lost all meaning recently

reddig33 , in The American dream is 'rapidly diminishing,' Walgreens boss says in plea to raise taxes for the wealthy

Walgreens boss — you’re part of the problem. Stop short staffing your stores, overworking and underpaying your pharmacy staff.

Is there any of it really left? It hasn't been that many years ago that a single-income family could easily afford a house, car(s), vacation(s), college for the kids, etc.

Accidental aristocracy? There is nothing accidental about it.

Truth be told.

If you were given a billion dollars and told that you could spend it at a rate of $1,000 a day, it would take you about 2,740 years before you ran out of money. That equates to $5,000 a day for more than 500 years or $100,000 every single day for 25 years.

My point is we don’t need billionaires in this world

For the average American, a retirement fund of $1 million is required to sustain such a lifestyle from age 67 (National Retirement Age) to age 77 (National Life Expectancy).

Elon Musk's reported net worth is $180 billion dollars. For purposes of this exercise, let's leave this multi-billionaire 20% of his hoarded wealth, which leaves us with a tidy $144 billion.

This one guy, if given a very conservative wealth tax, could pay for 144,000 people's retirements.

One guy.
