NEW YORK, NEW YORK 🏆

53 years. Hello, New York 🗽

Americans born after 1970 face higher death rates in middle age than their parents did, according to a new Tufts University analysis Between 30 and 49, Gen Xers and millennials are dying at elevated rates from heart disease, cancer and external causes (overdoses, suicides)

So the FBI is just showing up to harass people now? No crime committed. No warrant. Just wants to “talk.”

Welcome back, #KennedyCenter!

Elias: Why does California have signature matching? They have it to satisfy the same right-wing zealots who claim there’s fraud, right? So they do this whole kabuki theater that takes all of this time in order to contend with the fact that people say that if you don’t do signature matching, there’s going to be fraud. And then they get attacked for taking the time to do that very thing. The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.

Guys making $30k a year when you say that becoming a trillionaire shouldn’t exist

Yes, the man who makes that does deserve it. But umm… where are they?

I make 6 figures and my net worth is 0.0000183% of a trillionaire. This type of economy and mindset with money is unsustainable

There is something terribly wrong about an economy that produces its first trillionaire, but cannot provide health care for its people. Or one in which the richest handful of families have the combined wealth of almost forty percent of the rest of the country. This is the cost of a corrupt system, where wealth perpetuates itself, and poverty, at the same time.

RT @FerrisWheelPro: Capitalism is great because instead of everyone getting housing and healthcare, one guy gets to be a trillionaire!

Trillionaires shouldn't exist and neither should billioniares. Tax every penny in net worth over $999 million at 100%. We can have extreme wealth concentration or a democracy but we can't have both at the same time. Pick one.

Republicans are in charge because we promised: to Make America Healthy Again. to start No New Wars, to put people above corporations, to put America above foreign countries, to release the Epstein files, to not spy on citizens, to eliminate fraud, what the hell happened?!

But taxing wealth so normal people can afford to see a doctor and not go bankrupt over inhalers is radical left. OK

This is the most disingenuous question I keep hearing all day. Musk employs, what, 4,000 people? And that justifies a net worth above most sovereign nations? I’m just dumbfounded. If Canada only employed 4,000 people with a trillion dollar economy, there would be riots.

Most people have no idea how much money a trillion dollars is. Let’s look at it in perspective of time counting backwards in seconds: - 1 million seconds: 2 weeks ago - 1 billion seconds: 1994 - 1 trillion seconds: the Ice Age

Elon Musk Wealth 2012: $2 billion 2026: $1.1 trillion Jeff Bezos Wealth 2012: $18.4 billion 2026: $262 billion Mark Zuckerberg Wealth 2012: $17.5 billion 2026: $202 billion Tipped Minimum Wage 1991: $2.13 an hour 2026: $2.13 an hour 5 words: Tax oligarchs out of existence.

This is not sustainable. Plutarch warned us 2,000 years ago that the imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics. We have got to democratize our economy so that it works for all.
