Schiff blasts ‘corrupt system’ that made Elon Musk a trillionaire I read the article. But I don’t see where the corrupt system is. The man owns some stock and the stock is valuable. If you want to pay more taxes, that’s another thing. flip.it/lfO0BK

G-d punished David for his affair with Bathsheba,but not for his covenant with Jonathan whose love he called "more wonderful than that of women” Even an asexual reading proves the Bible honors a profound same-sex partnership eclipsing traditional marriage flip.it/fWdUCU

No matter what you think of Elon Musk, this is pretty cool. Unless of course you don’t like him at all and think this is pretty terrible
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day. 400 of them are now worth over $100 million. These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries. Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000. Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous." The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before. Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Crucial nuance: Leaked docs show proposed Gaza compound designed for International Stabilization Force. Heavy defensive specs (bunkers/tunnel detection) standard force-protection for personnel in a volatile area, dependent on unresolved regional talks. substack.com/@shaunking/note…

I’m not a sports fan. I only know this guy from TV. I personally like his style. I was raised in a home where my mom & grandmother told me “ If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." I’m extremely disappointed in some comments below. Poor manners.

Southern Baptists-both men & women-adhere to a theological view known as complementarianism. This doctrine teaches men & women have equal value before God but are assigned distinct, complementary roles in marriage & church reserving the office of pastor exclusively for men.

A sitting president has not attended a major sport's postseason game in nearly 2 decades: George W. Bush (2001): He attended Game 3 2001 MLB World Series. Bill Clinton (1999): He attended the 1999 Women’s World Cup Final. Trump attended in his 1st term Game 5 MLB World Series

Tonight, thousands of Knicks fans will deal with road closures, security checkpoints, traffic chaos, and 2 hour entry lines because James Dolan decided Donald Trump needed a VIP seat. Trump isn't showing up because he's a lifelong Knicks fan. He's showing up because he craves attention. And Dolan is giving it to him. The Knicks are in the middle of one of the biggest playoff runs in decades, yet the focus outside MSG is security perimeters and presidential motorcades. New York deserves better. Knicks fans deserve better. This night should belong to the team, not a politician and a billionaire owner desperate to be seen with him.

Of all the selfish, narcissistic things Trump has done, attending MSG to see the Knicks play in person Monday night is the absolute worst. 20,000 attendees will be MASSIVELY inconvenienced for all the extra security, the Knicks Watch Party at Garden Is canceled, thousands of extra law enforcement officers will be required (paid for by taxpayers), traffic will be a disaster -- all so he can sit in the Garden rather than watch the game on TV. Presidents ought to be willing to sacrifice once in awhile.

Genesis 2:7 pretty much says that all human beings have the same common ancestors. No race or nation is superior to the other . Regardless of your religious belief , this seems pretty reasonable . 👍

Media personality Steve Smith on SiriusXM stated that Trump should stay away from MSG. Smith insisted his take had nothing to do with politics, but rather forcing a presidential security apparatus into Penn Station during the NBA Finals would "disrupt & contribute to the chaos".

In 1958, a divorced single mom got fired from her secretary job for being a bad typist. 21 years later, she sold her side hustle for $47.5 million. And her teenage helper would go on to help invent MTV. Her name was Bette Nesmith Graham. Before she became a millionaire inventor, she was a struggling single mother in Dallas with no college degree and very few options. She married young during WWII. By 22, she was divorced, raising a son alone, and trying to survive on secretary jobs. She eventually became an executive secretary at Texas Bank & Trust. There was just one problem: She was a terrible typist. The bank had recently installed new IBM electric typewriters that made correcting mistakes almost impossible. One typo could mean retyping an entire page. Her son later remembered watching her sit at the kitchen table in “tears of panic,” terrified she’d lose her job. But Bette had another skill. She painted holiday window displays at the bank for extra money. One day, while painting over a mistake on a window, she had a realization: “An artist never erases mistakes. They paint over them.” That night, she went home and mixed a white liquid in her kitchen blender using tempera paint. She poured it into a nail polish bottle. The next morning, she used it to cover typing errors. It worked. For five years, her boss never noticed. Other secretaries did. Soon, women from offices across the city were asking for bottles. Bette started making batches at home with help from her teenage son, Michael, and his friends. She called the product “Mistake Out.” Then came the twist. In 1958, she accidentally typed the name of her side business onto a company letter. Her boss fired her immediately. It became the best thing that ever happened to her. She renamed the product Liquid Paper and focused on it full-time. Orders exploded. By the late 1960s, she was selling over a million bottles a year. By the 1970s, 25 million bottles annually. Then she did something even more unusual: She built one of the most progressive workplaces in America. Her company offered: • child care • continuing education • leadership roles for women • jobs for disabled workers • integrated staffing This was decades before most corporations even considered those ideas. In 1979, with failing health, Bette sold Liquid Paper to Gillette for $47.5 million. Six months later, she died at age 56. Half her fortune went to women-focused charities. The other half went to her son. That son was Michael Nesmith. Yes the same Michael Nesmith from The Monkees. And with the money from Liquid Paper royalties, he funded a small experimental cable TV project called PopClips. It featured short films set to music. PopClips became the direct prototype for MTV. So one woman’s “typing mistake” helped create: • a multimillion-dollar company • one of America’s most progressive workplaces • and the blueprint for the modern music video era Bette Graham proved something her old boss never understood: The mistake wasn’t the failure. It was the opportunity.
