And the other 1/3 were accused of being hyperbolic and/or hysterical.

Think of it this way though, she reduced Bezos net worth by more than any taxes, government, or humanitarian aid did. Searches say by about 25% at the time.

She reduced the worth of one billionaire and is attempting to funnel as much of that as she can into humanitarian and charitable efforts.

If she burned it, it would help no one. If she gave it all to governments, 99.99% would fund weapons, war, and waste, maybe 0.01% towards social programs.

She’s not buying yachts or islands. She’s doing what we as normal people would hope we would do if we had obscene amounts of money dumped in our laps.

The alternative is her ex-husband would still have it and he’d spend $45M on a party. And Trevor Project would have none of it.

On a side note, slightly related, I’m wondering what happens when Elmo kicks it and all his relatives’, baby mama’s, and children’s lawyers come out of the woodwork to contest and divvy up that fortune.

Ianal, I really hope there is some sort of class action that can be done to force companies to pass that back to consumers.

It should be easy enough to pass through to all the electronic pay methods.

Or force markup items to all be put on massive sale until an equal amount has been sold to make up the sales at markup.

There are no perfect solutions, some people will still make out like bandits.

But jfc, just releasing billions to these companies will only benefit the C-Level and maybe some shareholders, the people already benefiting, not the ones feeling the pain.

Virgina worked at MAL at age 17 before Maxwell scouted her to “work” for Jeff. Maybe that’s what’s he’s talking about. Jeff stole a perfectly good underage worker handing out towels.

I can taste some of them, especially red and blue artificial food dyes. I’d love to see them replaced because I look like a weirdo eating around the m&ms I don’t like.

I watched a couple interviews with Michael Wolff on youtube. He said Epstein tried to hire him to write his biography and showed him photos of DJT with young looking women that could have been underage teenagers. (Or just young looking, he didn’t know) He also said he tried to take the story to journalists/news orgs multiple times over the years, but none of them would touch it. Until now. So yeah, people tried, like Katie Johnson, and the stories got squashed. Or like the Access Hollywood tape, it was widely reported and he still won the election in 2016. Teflon don, indeed.

For those who need it, from the article:

The Trevor Project’s free and confidential crisis services will continue to be available 24/7 for any LGBTQ+ young person who needs support by calling 1-866-488-7386, via chat at TheTrevorProject.org/Get-Help, or by texting START to 678678.

I still have some covid home tests, will these still throw a positive on the new variants? (Assuming the test is still good)

What’s really to keep states with ports from just taking over Customs, especially with doge firing and closing federal agencies? If the states control their ports they control what gets tagged for tariffs, or am I wrong?

No shit, Kim K would be an improvement over 99% of the current pics.

No, cause then Mike Johnson. And he is definitely gonna rename it to Gulf of Gilead.

Do you have some links to the California cases? Not doubting you, just curious about the details you came across.

When we traveled out of the country for the 1st admin, we got treated with suspicion until we said truthfully we voted for the Democratic Party options.

To be clear: People were great until they (usually) guessed we were Canadian, then we’d get side-eye when they found out we weren’t.

The difference in land border crossing experience into Canada got more overall hostile the further into 2018-19.

We haven’t traveled like that since Covid. But I imagine voicing your distaste for fascism is required in polite circles now. Saying you voted Kamala and for the Dems is a good short-hand, even if you recognize they aren’t anywhere close to Perfect-Good.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn Grok is a cell of unpaid prisone… interns typing out responses.

Arrested Development tv show. Pretty funny. The family fortune started with the dad opening a banana stand in his youth.

ALT: 2 panels. 1st panel- Rich mom from Arrested Development sitcom, holding a cup, opulent home, saying “I mean it’s one banana, Michael. How much could it cost? Ten dollars?”

2nd panel- Michael sitting back, head on hand saying “you’ve never actually stepped foot in a supermarket, have you?”

For for those curious, Chief Justice Roberts and Amy Coney-Barrett were the ones that joined the 3 Justices following the Constitution.

Gorsch, Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh dissented

Wouldn’t this be a state or city level crime?

Do you have a website recommendation that’s accurate? Or are they all pretty much the same?

It would have been funnier to say ‘speaks random Italian words’ for the people relying on CC
