Sometimes I feel like putting my entire $40,000 portfolio into $SPCX and just let it ride for the next 40 years. I’m currently 18, would this be a good idea?

Americans realizing they spend $80B to bomb Iran only to pay Iran $300B more to undo the damage

Damn: Joe Burrow reveals that he only received $12 million of his $24.6 million signing bonus due to taxes. "The first thing I did was call my financial advisor and ask, What the hell happened?" Athletes don't make nearly as much money as you think.

You are part of the problem if you think we shouldn’t encourage capitalism and people to strive to be billionaires. You are also part of the problem if you believe their effective tax rate should be lower than ours! Beat me up in comments but I think what I think.

President Trump fixes the reflecting pool and a week later it’s green again, loaded with algae… Sabotage… Vandalism? I believe it is. The left can’t stand Trump, American greatness and his quest to make DC beautiful again. What a shame!

MAGA Influencer Riley Gaines caught on camera taking directions on what to say to her dumb gullible fans. It’s all an act.

The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did. And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves. One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults. Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life. If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever. Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen. Alternatively There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all. To start - If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers. It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail) Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability. Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up But They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.

Chris, this is the American cabal myth in its cleanest form. “Elon became a trillionaire because he solved important problems.” No. SpaceX solved real engineering problems. That part is true. But Elon becoming a trillionaire is not merely the reward for problem-solving. It is the result of financial engineering, state sponsorship, public procurement, national-security dependency, monopoly positioning, capital-market mania, index inclusion, narrative control, and an ownership structure that converts collective and state-backed achievement into private personal wealth. That is the distinction you are missing. Reusable rockets are real. Starlink is real. The engineering is real. But the trillionaire outcome is not just engineering. It is political economy. SpaceX was not built in a free-market vacuum. It was built through NASA contracts, defense demand, Space Force contracts, launch regulation, public space infrastructure, government procurement, taxpayer-backed demand, capital-market liquidity, and the strategic decision to make one private company into national infrastructure. That is not ordinary capitalism. That is corporate fascism: private ownership fused with state objectives. The state needs SpaceX for launch capacity, military communications, satellite infrastructure, geopolitical competition, and national-champion strategy. Wall Street then takes that state-backed strategic position and capitalizes it into a speculative valuation. Musk’s ownership stake converts that valuation into personal wealth. So when you say, “He solved important problems,” you are describing only the visible heroic layer. You are not describing the machine underneath. The machine is this: public demand, public contracts, public infrastructure, public risk, private ownership, private upside. That is how the national-champion model works. The billionaire founder becomes the mascot of a state-capital project. Then the public is told to see his wealth as proof of genius instead of proof that public power and private capital have fused. Nobody serious has to deny SpaceX’s engineering achievements. The point is that engineering achievement does not explain trillionaire wealth by itself. Ownership explains it. State backing explains it. Capital markets explain it. Political protection explains it. The myth exists to collapse all of that into one sentence: “He solved problems.” That is not analysis. That is propaganda.

Bold outfit choice at the Misfits weigh-in. 👀 😳

A new proposal in Ohio would let the state and utility companies take private property to build data center infrastructure. The proposal from the powerful Ohio Business Roundtable would even let land be taken from people before the owner gets paid. A document obtained by the Ohio Capital Journal shows the Ohio Business Roundtable recommending that lawmakers change eminent domain law so that it includes "infrastructure projects," a category broad enough to include data centers and projects that power them. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/…

We loathed Obama like you loathed Trump. Except we loathed Obama because he loathed America. You loathe Trump because you loathe America.

Knicks fans this Knicks fans that this is the worse thing I ever seen a fanbase do

I find the 2 most insufferable group of people on the planet are lifetime educators and lifetime politicians. Both live in a fantasy world that lacks common sense and would not survive a day in the real world

Lots of people sticking up for teachers. I’m not talking about your local high school teachers. My mom was a teacher. I’m talking academia. Professors, administrators, deans etc. People who get a million degrees and but never work in real world. They suck

Ohio Republicans secretly awarded Google, Meta, and Amazon $600 million in tax breaks to build data centers. The tax breaks were written to last 40 years and cannot be undone.

It's an even sadder day to realize Stacey King was a light through a lot of Bulls darkness the last decade, and now that there are finally some positive rays shining through, he won't be around to see it. Read it ... chicago.suntimes.com/bulls/2…

This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime.
