HOLY SHIT @mythichorse 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Noone really could have been prepared for this 😐

So.... 99% of Black defendants are the aggressors. Good chat, keep that shit up @MotherJones

41% of people that see this will never comment

Normally I'd say "many such cases" but Mansa Musa's Mali was actually unrivalled historically in its wealth. However That amplifies the fact that once again, Islam does not create. It only destroys.

Cute theory, let's play it out. A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last. But... oh wait, there is no pile. It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded. The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it. Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0. The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession. But it gets worse. Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all. Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees. So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked. So the monkeys sit there. No bananas. No rockets. No coordinates to get more banananas. Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer. OH And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

This. This false equivalency, the hyperbolic accusations of excess, "durrr, median wealth globally" emotionally charged slop. All day these fucking accounts have been so hypocritical it's gotta be a plant. Literally never have these guys cried about the wealth held by Bezos, Zuckerberg, the Krafts, etc etc etc But suddenly they all want to attack the guy who he pays to use his platform, ON his platform? This guy is actively running defense for George Soros, and that's not even supposed to be suspicious???

This clip of Charles Payne during Obama's second term is really incredible. Well done Charles. In 2010 Obama put the federal government directly in charge of lending money to students. Eliminating private lending made the loans much easier to get, but they were not less expensive. Before Obama took office, outstanding student debt was less than $100 billion. By 2015, outstanding student debt was approximately $800 billion and almost a third of the borrowers were in default. Of course the price of college continued to soar the entire time. This is the best part. Payne predicted that someday the politicians would be promising to forgive student debt as a way to buy votes. He was spot on. There are people like Ro Khanna on this site right now arguing that Elon Musk should be paying down the student debt when it's a problem that politicians created.

Exactly.

“Elon Musk is a trillionaire.” As a securities law attorney, please allow me to explain how anyone who says this is basically lying to you: 1. The Securities and Exchange Commission has a myriad of laws that prevent founders and other large stockholders of publicly traded companies from dumping their shares. There are substantial holding period requirements, volume of sales limitations and public reporting obligations for stock sales. Basically, Elon holds largely illiquid shares, he is a “trillionaire” on paper only, and the best analogy is when people peg your net worth based on your home’s market price. That’s not money in your pocket, that’s the house you live in. 2. All that money raised in the IPO? That’s not going into Elon’s pocket like the lying socialist idiots want you to believe. It’s a capital influx that will be used to make more rockets and get more payloads into orbit. It’s a CAPITAL investment—that money is like a business loan, it’s not your money to keep, it’s your money to grow the business. 3. If it WERE legal for Elon to dump his shares, the share price would crash basically instantly and the company could very well fail. If you bought SpaceX shares in the IPO, congrats. You just bought a lottery ticket, just like Elon. May the odds ever be in your favor. So the next time someone screeches about how unfair it is that Elon Musk creates wealth that benefits all of humanity, throw the truth back in their faces.

The most tone-deaf post I've read today, and it's all been slop.

"it's beyond sickening" says the Congresswoman, part of a notoriously tax-evasive group of insider traders and embezzlers, fraud waste and abusers, getting kickbacks from PACs and political lobbyists... Yea sure, I'm listening. Surely you aren't being a massive hypocrite.

Again for those in the back, Elon once offered to cut a check for $6 BILLION to the WFB to "eliminate World hunger" as they said the money could. His one condition was that the accounting was public. They did not accept.

Maybe using the existing tax income for that would be better for the citizens than anything USAID has done in the last ten years, IDK MAN IM JUST SPITBALLIN HERE

Actually, about this: Elon once offered the UN $6 billion for World Hunger in 2021 - on the condition that the UN provided Open Source Accounting and allowed him or anyone else to track and audit exactly where the money was spent on. Which I think is a fair request considering that UN had multiple high-profile embezzlement cases such as what happened in Somalia in 2010 and Ethiopia in recent years. There's even one being actively probed right now in Sudan. UN has not have a good track record of monitoring where other people's money go to, and that's an understatement. The UN's response? They said they would at best, offer summaries and high-level category reports...which is not very helpful. It was also not going to be an open ledger, so no one outside of UN leadership could see where the money would go to. So...the offer fell through because the UN was unable to provide trackable details on where the money goes to, making auditing extremely difficult. The rest is history, which is now being actively memory-holed by you OP. Sure hate Elon that he bought Twitter, at least be fair.

Yet another puppet calling for tax as a fix-all solution, instead of economic reform. Ya gotta balance a budget, fix SPENDING.

THANK FUCK SOMEONE GETS IT

Or, something much more likely, Nothing would be different, we would've sent all our money overseas to Israel, African Nations, and elsewhere, and the rest of the money would have been embezzled or otherwise lost to fraud as it currently is now. The problem is SPENDING

Holy keyword soup, this is impressive. "Capitalism is a death cult" goes fuckin hard when you're thinking "death to America" in your parent's house. All of this rhetoric is America-centric. The key pillars of the death cult: the Deaths of Despair, the inequality-driven alienation the age expectancy thresholds, none of them pan out when applied globally. "Yea but China uplifted millions from poverty and they're communist!" Thank you Deng Xiaoping reforms, for introducing Capitalist reforms to a self-described "Socialist with Chinese elements" country. Admittedly NOT communist, it's literally only in the party name. This whole argument is childish trigger words mashed together in a feelings-based argument. Rich take, coming from a Canadian.

Hmm. So, you want to tax the millionaires? Are you a Millionaire? Estimates say Yes. The issue is SPENDING

This is a other low-iq take. The government itself is a "trillionaire". The problem is SPENDING
