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.
in nature if a monkey hoarded 1 trillion bananas the other monkeys would beat that monkey to death and take his bananas

Karmelo supporters are starting to set up fraudulent LLCs under the guise of helping families who have endured domestic violence in order to funnel money to the Anthony family. Full report, with receipts, coming tomorrow.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

people are discussing this a lot, and rightly so, but why are we not questioning how the kid got through the first year classes
Another Berkeley professor told the author: “In my second-year engineering class, a student asked me to explain why 1/2 1/3 = 5/6…. The lecture had to stop while I explained fractions.”

They literally rented out the Lincoln Bedroom and don’t forget Bill’s activity in the Oval Office. The vandalism that went on when you left was also well documented.
Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds: No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house. Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. shop.onwardtogether.org/coll…

LOL.
Wall street folks are celebrating @elonmusk for creating 4,400 millionaires. Fine. Did any of them celebrate @JoeBiden IRA, ARP, CHIPS for creating millions of good paying jobs? Our barometer should be opportunity & stability for the majority, not simply wealth for the few.

Fun fact: former lyin' DNI Avril Haines was just named as the new presdient of the Carnegie Foundation! Way to go, Avril! Enjoy the new job while you are able to stay there!
Uh oh… so the DNI lied too? March 10, 2022… the Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines went on record stating the Russian claims of the U.S. conducting biological weapons research in "biolabs" across Ukraine was not true. DNI Gabbard just declassified information proving her a liar and a traitor to the United States of America. It’s all over for them. They know it. And Marco Rubio played them like a fiddle to get them all on record. rumble.com/v7b88ui-dna-avril…

California is not only allowing ballots to be counted a week after election day, but even ballots without postmarks. Eventually, you will be able to vote by just shouting out the window of your car at any election official...

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Wow! Becerra makes it clear - - Free healthcare for non-US citizens in California. Get ready for huge tax increases and fewer services for legal citizens. This is billion$. Becerra says: “No one loses their health care because of where they were born”
I’m fighting for the California Dream. Let’s do this.

Reminder that the Biden admin set up a hotline for migrant children to report issues with sponsors. 65k calls went UNANSWERED Only ONE person was assigned to answer calls 450k kids were placed with unvetted sponsors. Some were r*ped over 600 times. DHS rescued 146k kids so far. Nobody has gone to prison for this yet. x.com/libsoftiktok/status/20…
