You know what I’ve been thinking about? There are far more racist people in this country than I ever realized.
I have been blown away watching people celebrate the death of a White teenage boy simply because the person who killed him was Black.
This teenager was not on drugs. He was not a troublemaker.
He had never committed a crime.
He played sports, made good grades, respected his parents, and was loved by so many people.
Yet some people have found joy in his death because they care more about race than right and wrong.
That is not justice. That is racism, hatred, and pure evil.
A teenage boy lost his life. Anyone celebrating that should be ashamed.

Socialists never understand how finances & economics work. 🙄
And they don’t want to.

He's NOT a trillionaire; he has an asset that is hypothetically worth a trillion dollars.
This deliberate misunderstanding is currently so prevalent I'm beginning to think it's presaging some weird agenda.

Few things have done more damage to the reputation of elite universities than having professors and representatives of places like Harvard repeatedly showing us on social media how intellectually dishonest and unimpressive they actually are

I have not yet read the full trial transcript. But so far, I do know this. Karmelo Anthony was entitled to a jury of his peers. He did not get that. On that ground alone, he is entitled to a new trial. Minorities are not interchangeable. The prosecutor’s reported proffered reasons for striking all black jurors —that they were teachers—appears to be pretext. Anthony needs a new lawyer on appeal and in a new trial. His trial lawyer allowed in opinion evidence that should have been struck. He also seemed unable to appreciate and counter the impact of racial overtones in that case. Those overtones are clear even on Twitter commentary as folks seek to paint Metcalf as having no culpability in what happened and Karmelo as a complete monster. The facts on how the matter escalated are more complicated than that. He and they had no such authority. They are also apparent in the statements that seek to deputize Metcalf and other kids with authority to remove Anthony. They had none and initiated the conflict. That does not mean they should have been killed but it means they have explaining to do. The lawyer for Anthony apparently did not require that explaining. It is fair to ask how the Anthony’s ended up selecting that lawyer.
The trial judge must be disqualified in any new trial if he actually gave an interview about the case before the appeal was considered. He has negatively affected the appeal rights of the defendant. He should know better. He should also be disqualified if he has any relationship with the Metcalf side.
In a criminal trial, the prosecution has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant does not have to prove he is not guilty. Those rules apply to everyone. They apply to Anthony.
Community note
The Sixth Amendment guarantees criminal defendants the right to an impartial jury comprised of citizens from the state and district where the crime was committed. Nowhere does it mention race.

One of the most unloving things you can do is encourage someone to keep believing a lie by affirming and celebrating it.

“Elon Musk is a trillionaire.”
As a securities law attorney, please allow me to explain how anyone who says this is basically lying to you:
1. The Securities and Exchange Commission has a myriad of laws that prevent founders and other large stockholders of publicly traded companies from dumping their shares. There are substantial holding period requirements, volume of sales limitations and public reporting obligations for stock sales. Basically, Elon holds largely illiquid shares, he is a “trillionaire” on paper only, and the best analogy is when people peg your net worth based on your home’s market price. That’s not money in your pocket, that’s the house you live in.
2. All that money raised in the IPO? That’s not going into Elon’s pocket like the lying socialist idiots want you to believe. It’s a capital influx that will be used to make more rockets and get more payloads into orbit. It’s a CAPITAL investment—that money is like a business loan, it’s not your money to keep, it’s your money to grow the business.
3. If it WERE legal for Elon to dump his shares, the share price would crash basically instantly and the company could very well fail.
If you bought SpaceX shares in the IPO, congrats. You just bought a lottery ticket, just like Elon. May the odds ever be in your favor.
So the next time someone screeches about how unfair it is that Elon Musk creates wealth that benefits all of humanity, throw the truth back in their faces.

Elon Musk is about to become a trillionaire
If he agreed to pay just 80% of that as a wealth tax to the EU, the EU government could use its efficient operating experience to fund bicycles with solar panels attached to them for over 40 residents of the Netherlands
Elon is being selfish by not paying the wealth tax

No, you don't get it.
He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.
To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.
Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".
$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12
If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.
But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

Wow. I thought that it was wrong for him to stab a kid to death but now that I see these videos of Karmelo smiling and stuff I’ve realized that actually he should have been allowed to murder whoever he wanted. I apologize for my error.

“This is about revenue, not home ownership.”
The government's own Treasury Secretary has effectively admitted what Australians already suspected.
If the goal was to make housing more affordable, the focus would be on reducing demand through lower migration and increasing supply by building more homes. Instead, Labor has delivered neither.

This debate is so satisfying.
Helen Webberly is a “gender affirming doctor” that runs a clinic called gender GP where she grifts off mentally ill children, by allowing them to bypass their parents and receive hormone blockers within just a few months.
Her practise has been banned in multiple jurisdictions and she has recently moved operations to the United States 🇺🇸
She gets absolutely tied in a pretzel from the jump here.

Nuclear is the fuel of the future, and Labor is the party of the past. We've used wind and sun for millennia, but today there are better technologies. But Chris Bowen can't see it because he can't admit he's wrong, just like every other legacy entrepreneur who've been sent broke by new technologies.
