⚡️An agreement between the 🇺🇸USA and 🇮🇷Iran has been reached, and the official signing ceremony will take place on June 19 in Switzerland, the Prime Minister of Pakistan stated. I hope this nightmare ends and fuel prices fall, reducing Russia’s windfall profits from oil sales.

Seattle hosts bet big on a World Cup Airbnb windfall. AirDNA says demand is actually down 2%. One USA match is the only thing filling rooms while Mexico cleans up.

Gary's interesting because if he were up substantially in a more traditional asset class like stocks or real estate, I can't imagine why he wouldn't sell at his age. Could have the retirement of a lifetime with that windfall. So why doesn't he just cash out? The collectibles have become such an integral part of his identity, and grant him access to a community he enjoys being a big fish in, I don't think he'd want to trade that notoriety for money. "Gary King Pokémon" would just become "Gary King with Millions of dollars." Not a bad consolation prize, but the carboard grants him status now, not the money. He comes off as a person who enjoys that limelight in the collectibles space more than anything else. It will be interesting to see how the Gen X and Millenial whales in the space approach their collections when they get around traditional retirement age.

Hahaha. Trump eliminated sanctions on Iranian oil for a period and Iran made windfall profits of more than $2 billion. Trump pardoned the CEO of Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange. Binance, in violation of sanctions, sent $1.8 billion to Iran in untraceable crypto. But Obama…

Tech’s Next IPO Wave Promises a Charitable Windfall

essentially the same as Zohran's world cup tickets gimmick. 1,000 lucky lottery winners get a windfall, and the supply of available tickets shrinks for everyone else.

I’m over here asking the pediatric cardiologist if they’ve read The Windfall.

Only 20% of the launches are government launches. Starlink is the biggest money maker Elon lowered the cost of launches by 90% making it a huge windfall for the government. You people and your income envy are so damn tiresome. washingtontechnology.com/com…

it's actually pretty admirable that the norwegians did not squander this dinosaur windfall like every other gov on earth.

Elon Musk just created a windfall of $12 billion USD for the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, thanks to their investment in SpaceX. That’s nearly $17,000,000,000 CDN. The communists who run the union will still complain about him.

Yes, you're right Sir. A 20% windfall tax on oil & gas E&P and refineries has been proposed to generate ₨130 billion and help narrow the fiscal deficit. However, the IMF has reportedly rejected a related levy, so it’s not yet finalized. The core issue remains: revenues fall short of expenditures, driving such proposals.

would be funded by a windfall tax on oil and gas companies’ excess profits from the price spikes due to the US-Israel war on Iran. Such a tax is supported by two-thirds of Canadians, according to a poll Elbows Up commissioned from Liaison Stratégies.”

Satirical Rewrite: Bernie Sanders’ Post, Reimagined with a Mirror Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders Elon Musk’s rise to trillionaire status is not a time for celebration. It’s a call to action... to celebrate someone who actually built rockets, cars, satellites, and neural tech instead of perfecting the ancient art of "public service" wealth extraction. Our democracy cannot survive when one man, who created trillions in market value, jobs, and technological leaps, gets richer—while countless NGOs and politicians have turned taxpayer-funded "compassion" into a booming private equity scheme. Our economy cannot sustain itself when one man owns more wealth than the bottom half of society after inventing reusable rockets and global internet access... whereas 60% of people live paycheck to paycheck partly because billions in public funds keep vanishing into NGO "slush funds" and revolving-door salaries for the politically connected. This is not just about wealth. It’s about power—the kind where you don’t need to ship a single product or solve a single engineering problem. You just need the right friends in the right agencies handing out grants, contracts, and regulatory favors. Exhibit A: The NGO-Industrial ComplexTaxpayer dollars funneled into "non-governmental" organizations that somehow always end up advancing specific political agendas while their execs and alumni cycle back into government or campaigns. Congressional hearings have exposed how billions flowed into green energy NGOs, open-border groups, and various "social justice" outfits—with the revolving door spinning like a Vegas slot machine. House Oversight DOGE Subcommittee hearing on taxpayer-funded NGO slush funds: oversight.house.gov/release/… More details on NGOs gone wild: oversight.house.gov/hearing/… Meanwhile, Elon just keeps launching stuff into orbit and making EVs cool. No taxpayer "investment" required for his latest billions (though governments have bought plenty of his products after the fact). Exhibit B: Congressional Stock Trading SorceryWhile lecturing the rest of us about inequality, some veteran politicians (and their spouses) have demonstrated an almost supernatural ability to time the market. Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul has racked up eye-watering returns that would make most hedge funds blush—trades in tech, semiconductors, and other sectors right before major legislative moves. NY Post on Pelosi’s reported $130M stock profits: nypost.com/2025/11/08/us-new… Fox News on the windfall and hearings: foxnews.com/politics/congres… Exhibit C: Family Business DiplomacyHunter Biden’s Burisma board gig (a Ukrainian energy company drowning in corruption allegations) paid him handsomely despite zero relevant expertise in the sector. The Oversight Committee detailed millions flowing to the Biden family and associates from foreign entities during Joe Biden’s VP tenure. House Oversight Biden Family Investigation: oversight.house.gov/landing/… Senate report on Hunter Biden, Burisma, and corruption: finance.senate.gov/imo/media… Elon Musk? He builds companies that employ tens of thousands, advances humanity’s multi-planetary future, and pays more in taxes in a good year than most of us will see in a lifetime. His wealth comes from equity value that millions of investors (and pension funds) voluntarily bet on—not earmarks, grants, or influence peddling. So yes, Bernie—let’s have a real conversation about wealth, power, and who actually creates value versus who extracts it. The real threat to the social fabric isn’t the guy delivering Starlink to remote areas and pushing sustainable energy tech. It’s the entrenched system where "fighting for the little guy" has become one of the most reliably profitable careers on the planet. Together, we must fight back against the real grift. We can and must create an economy and government that rewards actual innovation and legal value creation, not just political connections, NGO laundering schemes, and perfectly timed stock trades. #MakeWealthCreationLegalAgain #TransparencyForTheRulingClass
