Because he'll be eligible to receive the same benefits as an American making $184,500. Social Security benefits are a function of how much one pays into it over their working years. You'd have a terrific point, if he would receive more benefits than that $184k guy will.

The reason that conservatives tend to understand liberalism to a degree that liberals do not understand conservatism at the present moment isn’t about conservatives being smarter or more worldly; it’s because we live in a liberal society, so everybody understand liberalism. Liberalism is what’s taught in schools, it’s the morality in the background in TV and movies, it’s the worldview of most famous people, and so on. We’ve all just been exposed to liberals and to liberalism to a degree that liberals have not been exposed to conservatives and conservatism.

Spend 20 years building opening a restaurant Deal with ups and downs, housing crisis, tech bubbles, recessions, inflation. Earn a good reputation, get five stars and great Yelp reviews. Then some government official backed by public health and the mainstream media shutter your business. That was 2020 Confidence and focus on one thing to the exclusion of all else. Science was never broken But it was very much politicized. Everything to "avoid infection" The legacy of the Propagandemic.

The timeline is filled to the brim with 95-IQ midwits saying things like "it's crazy that poverty still exists and we have a trillionaire" Oblivious to the fact 'The War on Poverty' started 62 years ago, the welfare state is exponentially larger, and poverty is unchanged.

Elon could solve world hunger tomorrow. All he'd have to do is liquidate his assets. This would wipe out the stock market and crash the global economy. Famine would stalk the third world, culling billions. When things finally stabilized it would be easy to feed the much smaller population.

If billionaires and trillionaires suddenly disappeared overnight, everything would get worse for me. If everyone on SNAP disappeared, everything would get better.

Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire has been a really great IQ test for the general public. You see people online who think Elon literally has a trillion dollars sitting in a bank somewhere and has chosen to just… keep it there. These are not serious people and not worth engaging with. It’s like trying to have an intelligent discussion with a monkey.

few know this, but the poor actually had access to rockets and electric cars for free until Elon Musk decided to hoard them all for himself

Images like this always resonate with extremely stupid people because they have no clue what 'net worth' means and think that Elon is sitting on a Scrooge Mcduck swimming pool of cash and coins

I assume this is satire, right?

You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.   Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

I've watched Elon build SpaceX from a rented warehouse in El Segundo to a $1.75 trillion valuation. Every expert said it was impossible — too expensive, too risky, government would never allow it. Today it prices for the largest IPO in history. Never bet against Elon! Some lessons cost real money to learn.

This is how you end up with Karmelo Anthonys

🚨 WATCH: Karmelo Anthony’s grandmother riles up the crowd by REPEATEDLY screaming “RACIST, BIASED, PREJUDICED” as she left the courthouse “They sent a MESSAGE that a white person can hit a black boy and get away with it! They can do whatever the F—K they want!” This entire family is disgusting. It’s pretty clear where Karmelo learned to behave the way he did.

A day in life of a European VC: 09:45: Wake up in the apartment 1 hour from Berlin 11:30: Receive a pitch from a promising AI company based in North-East Belgium 11:45: Ask Google "is AI a good investment" 12:00: Three-hour lunch at a small French bistro 15:00: Send a €50k term sheet after 7 months of due diligence 15:30: Write a LinkedIn post saying that Latvia is the new startup capital 16:00: Set up "out-of-office" email until September 18:30 - Post on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram that "Europe does not need American technology" 22:00 - Fall asleep proud of being the youngest partner at the firm (you are 68 years old)

We don’t need a woman on every crew. That’s ridiculous and degrading to the awesome female astronauts to demand a token female on every flight. Plus sometimes you need an Italian 🤌

20 years ago, An Inconvenient Truth put climate change at the center of global debate, shaping politics, influencing leaders, and inspiring a generation of activists. Two decades later, we can assess not just its impact, but its accuracy. Many of the film’s most alarming predictions did not materialize, while many of the policies it inspired have proven costly and ineffective. The lesson? Panic is a poor guide for public policy. Focusing on innovation, adaptation, and economic development can do far more to help both people and the climate—at a fraction of the cost. financialpost.com/opinion/bj…

I’m convinced that much of the news industry is appealing to a non existent demographic. It’s just NYC and DC ping pong from the khaki class.

Over the last 20 years… Elections decided on Election Night: Republicans: 52% Democrats: 48% Elections decided AFTER Election Night: Republicans: 20% Democrats: 80% This is totally insane. Nothing to see here…
