If there was a monkey that accumulated millions of bananas and then gave them all away to unrelated monkeys and none to their children, scientists would study that monkey to find out what the hell is wrong with it.
Daniel Craig's daughter won't receive a large inheritance from her dad, as he finds inheritances "distasteful" and does not "want to leave great sums to the next generation." He told Insider, "My philosophy is to get rid of it or give it away before you go."

Elon Must has a trillion dollars, and that is deeply unfair. If we could just be allowed to take his money, ruin his factories, melt his rockets down for scrap, burn his cars for heat, and force his hundreds of thousands of employees out onto the streets, humanity could finally rise to new heights of utopic equality and the world would become a workers paradise. Sincerely, the Communists.

“Hm… you know what? That’s not such a bad idea—protect the children. 🙂 [Thinking… ████████░ 82%] Wait, this is just a covert way of introducing digital ID.”
We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

I lost my granddaughter yesterday. She passed away due to preeclampsia. Her mom had an emergency C-section and could really use your prayers, please. My son and our family are mourning such a deep loss. I know Paisley is in heaven with our Lord and Savior. That's my only peace.

The Japanese are taught this from a young age. In school, students are regularly assigned to different parts of the school to clean as a core part of their curriculum. Some cultures are better than others.
The reason Japan fans clean the stadium after each game. Respect. 🤝🇯🇵

Liberals have a "Scrooge McDuck" understanding of corporate wealth, in which they genuinely believe billionaires (and now, a trillionaire) have cartoonishly massive piles of liquid cash just sitting around that could immediately be spent/redistributed at a whim.

The new GWOT memorial design just dropped on the National Mall. I’ve seen the renderings. I’ve read the explanations. And as a retired Green Beret who actually fought in that war, I’ll be direct. This one doesn’t land. I put together a full breakdown on why this design misses the mark and what honoring that generation should actually look like. Veterans, Gold Star families, and anyone who lived through 9/11 and the years that followed: what’s your honest reaction when you see it? Does it feel right to you, or is something off?

Why are Christians forced to wear a symbol that runs wildly counter to their deeply-held, centuries-old religious beliefs? Why is rabid, hatemongering Christophobia OK but a mild stance against sin considered abhorrent? How about you LGBTQ people actually practice the live-and-let-live principles you falsely claim to espouse? The bigots here are not the Christians. The bigots here are the people demanding that innocent Christians publicly disavow their faith.

The general question is "what have the Romans ever done for us?" Take this aqueduct for example. The claim is that it carries thousands of gallons of fresh water to the city every day, but have you ever seen this water? Of course not. We all know water comes from baths and fountains, not aqueducts. This is the great lie of the Roman Administration - that they collect taxes to build public works that benefit the citizens. This is an utter lie. For every mile of aqueduct we could deconstruct this and build 100 miles of fencing for goats, or a hundred two person sheds. You might say, "But Marius, goat fences benefit the individual in small amounts, but public works benefit the city as a whole" - yet is the city not made up of individuals? And are these individuals not entitled to their share of wealth produced by commerce, trade, and the empire as a whole? The state serves the interests of the people as individuals, not as a whole, to serve the interests of everyone while depriving an individual of their rightful share would be tyranny. To serve the interests of each individual separately, of course, each individual must surrender their wealth to the body politic, and the re-apportioning of wealth carried out by our elected officials. Take another example, the Great Forum. Do we truly need a place of trade and commerce, of political assembly, for more grandstanding by politicians, more propaganda? The Forum can be put to better use - to graze our herds, our cattle, to grind its limestone bricks into mortar for our huts, to render the marble of its statues into dice such that we may gamble, and take pleasure and enjoyment; to bet and wager the stipends we are owed by dint of our citizenship as is our right. We must be clear in our aims - equality is the goal, violence in the means, and anybody who stands in the way of this is an enemy of the people. Tear down the aqueducts I say, let the Forum turn to fallow ground, let no man stand head and shoulders above the rest for we all know that wealth comes from expropriation and not trade, and what matters is to expropriate equally from all, for the benefit of all, and to lay low the stature of those who stand tall.
If we liquidated Elon Musk as a financial entity we could each pocket $3,000. Just putting that out there. 3K. Not bad.

Can we debunk this nonsense? Elon Musk was awarded (note: not given) cost-per-result contracts to perform a service for the US government. The total of those for SpaceX specifically is ~$22B, which includes repaid loans, state tax incentives, etc. The deal was simple: put stuff into LEO at or below a set cost. If SpaceX does it below the set cost, SpaceX keeps the difference. If it doesn’t, the company is responsible for the overrun. End result? SpaceX & Elon lowered the cost of getting 1 kg into LEO by 95-97% vs what NASA was paying previously. And for the record, every other company around at the time was offered the same opportunity to bid on the contract - Musk/SpaceX just took it. The handout narrative implies the taxpayer is the patron and SpaceX the dependent. The cost data shows the opposite: before SpaceX, NASA paid Russia’s Soyuz $80-86M per seat; SpaceX delivered at ~$55 million. SpaceX saved the US taxpayer $300M-$465M each year on that alone (the US sends 12-15 astronauts to space each year) On the lunar lander, NASA estimated SpaceX’s fixed-price bid saved $20B-$30B vs the Boeing-preferred cost-plus approach. So: SpaceX saved the US taxpayer more than the total value of contracts it earned on a single project, PLUS provided the US government with the requested services (put stuff in LEO) at the best possible price.
Elon Musk was given tens of billions in government contracts and tax breaks and was able to take a company that’s lost $41 billion and somehow become a “trillionaire.” You will pay social security your whole life and they’ll tell you it’s an “entitlement” when you try to collect

SpaceX a clôturé son premier jour de cotation à 2 100 milliards de dollars, 19%. Tout le monde regarde le chiffre. Personne ne regarde ce qu'il price réellement. Laissez-moi vous dire ce que le marché vient d'acheter, et pourquoi je pense que cette boîte vaudra 30 à 50 trillions d'ici 5 ans. D'abord, le symbole. Cette IPO est un référendum. D'un côté, 20 ans de discours sur la décroissance, la sobriété, la redistribution, la fin de l'histoire gérée par des comités. De l'autre, un homme qui a dit "je vais rendre l'humanité multiplanétaire", que tout le monde a traité de clown, et qui vient de créer la plus grosse entreprise cotée de l'histoire en partant d'un entrepôt à El Segundo. Le marché a voté. Le wokisme avait des départements RH, SpaceX avait des fusées. Les fusées ont gagné. Ensuite, la mécanique économique, parce que c'est là que tout le monde se trompe. Les analystes valorisent SpaceX comme une entreprise de lancement plus Starlink. C'est comme valoriser Internet en 1995 sur le marché du fax. Starship ne réduit pas le coût du kilo en orbite de 20%, il le divise par 100. Et chaque fois dans l'histoire qu'un coût d'infrastructure est divisé par 100, ce n'est pas le marché existant qui grossit, ce sont des industries entières qui naissent. Le coût du calcul divisé par 100 a donné Internet, le smartphone, l'IA. Le coût de l'orbite divisé par 100 va donner une économie spatiale complète. Faisons la liste de ce qui devient rentable quand le kilo en orbite coûte le prix d'un billet d'avion. Les data centers orbitaux, avec énergie solaire continue et refroidissement gratuit, au moment exact où l'IA fait exploser la demande énergétique terrestre. La fabrication en microgravité de semi-conducteurs, de fibres optiques, d'organes imprimés impossibles à produire sous gravité. Le tourisme orbital de masse, puis les hôtels lunaires, qui passeront du fantasme au business plan exactement comme la croisière de luxe au 20ème siècle. Le transport point à point terrestre, Paris-Tokyo en 40 minutes. L'industrie minière des astéroïdes, dont un seul corps de classe M contient plus de métaux que tout ce que l'humanité a extrait depuis le néolithique. Et Mars en ligne de mire, pas comme destination touristique, mais comme le plus grand projet d'infrastructure jamais entrepris, avec tout ce que ça implique de demande en énergie, matériaux, robotique, IA. SpaceX ne participera pas à ces marchés. SpaceX possède le péage d'entrée de tous ces marchés. C'est AWS, mais pour la civilisation. Apple vaut 3 500 milliards en vendant des rectangles de verre sur une seule planète. Le premier monopole d'accès à une frontière infinie à 30 ou 50 trillions dans 5 ans, ce n'est pas de l'exubérance, c'est une simple règle de trois sur l'expansion du marché adressable. Et maintenant, la partie que je préfère. Ce futur n'a pas besoin de bureaucrates. Il n'y a pas de comité consultatif en orbite. Pas de commission Théodule sur Mars. Chaque dollar de cette nouvelle économie sera créé par des ingénieurs, des techniciens, des soudeurs, des pilotes, des entrepreneurs. Les diplômés en gestion de la norme vont devoir apprendre un métier utile, et franchement, c'est une excellente nouvelle pour eux aussi : construire est infiniment plus fun que contrôler. Parce que c'est ça, le vrai signal d'aujourd'hui. Pendant 50 ans on nous a vendu un futur rétréci : moins d'énergie, moins d'enfants, moins d'ambition, gérer le déclin proprement. Et là, d'un coup, le plus gros actif financier du monde est un pari sur l'abondance, l'expansion et l'aventure. Le pessimisme vient de passer en position vendeuse sur lui-même. Le futur sera méga fun. Il y aura des hôtels avec vue sur la Terre, des honeymoons en orbite, des gamins qui diront "papa, c'était comment avant les fusées réutilisables" comme on dit "c'était comment avant Internet". Et quelque part dans les années 2030, un humain marchera sur Mars en livestream devant 5 milliards de personnes, et ce jour-là plus personne ne se souviendra du nom d'un seul de ses détracteurs. Achetez de l'optimisme. C'est encore sous-valorisé.
