Heart wrenching. Dogs...we are lucky to have them.

Those in the media should be ashamed of the mass hysteria they ginned up over COVID. It has caused irreversible psychosis in those that were likely mentally unstable (or at least intellectually weak) to begin with.

a much needed feature.

If we import the worlds most impoverished at a rate of 25 million every four years, you are going to get wealth disparity and it has zero to do with the opportunities afforded in this country or perceived weaknesses with capitalism.

Its because we have taken on the problems of every single other country's failed communism, socialism, and tribalism.

Meh. Klimt is okay. Not as good as Hunter Biden’s work.

The media will say Trump redacted it because it is all about him and this is proof.

Income inequality, taken too far, is an enormous destabilizing force for any culture.

While I agree with this statement general, its essential to understand where the inequality is coming from in order to remedy. Our government likes to sell us on the story that Rich Bob is stealing money from Poor Paul and the remedy is to tax him tremendously to give to Paul. In practice, they tax Rich Bob, keep 90% of his tax dollar, and give Paul just enough to keep him from feeling the ambition/pain to go out and improve his own lot in life.

In our time of history, we have imported the poorest in the world by droves. We didn't do it by enticing the hard working with opportunity like we did in the past. We enticed them with free shite. We aren't getting the world's productive we are getting the world's free loaders by the MILLIONS. This last decade of open borders is going to permanently scar us, if not entirely ruin upward mobility. There are more people at the bottom who are voting to punish the production of people at the top. Envy politics.

All the wealthy people I know live in big nice houses, fly private to one of their many homes (often associated with a country club or social club membership), and have a whole lot of nice shite.

Your point is taken,.. however they keep their addresses unlisted and don't post pictures of themselves in front of their PJ all over Instagram. If I see someone posing in front of a private jet I know they either rented it with 20 other people or they are a tag along.

The wealth adjusted wealthy do not flaunt it. That shite is for new rich.

The flashier people are the poorest. I think those who do not spend time around wealth don't realize that head-to-toe designer, tripped out cars, long nails/heavy makeup, etc... projects someone who is broke. Especially if you are doing all this at the Houston Galleria.

And to answer your question, I have been acquainted with several billionaires (energy/fracking money/ and one hedge fund) They showed up to my son's baseball games in plastic sunglasses, flip flops and a collared shirt. You'd never EVER guess they had money.. outside of taking the PJ to out of state tournaments that is.

Has any one tried it? What for? Was it helpful?
