This morning, my wife left Orlando, Florida aboard @SouthwestAir flight 1630 (MCO to PHX). She sat behind this man. She had been attending the Grace Hopper Conference all week and was resting her head on her tray table, trying to sleep a bit. Let me tell you what happened.

REPORTER: Is this unfair to people who paid their student loans or chose not to take out loans? BIDEN: Is it fair to people who, in fact, do not own multi-billion-dollar businesses if they see one of these guys getting all the tax breaks? Is that fair? What do you think?

The pieces start fitting together.
So, @TheNewYorker reported, instead of recusing, Clarence Thomas was the only vote to block the Jan6 committee from getting Trump's papers. Mark Meadows filed a supporting brief. And Ginni's texts to Meadows were at stake. newyorker.com/magazine/2022/… via @NewYorker

You're supposed to wash your hands for 20 sec, which is the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice. But I'm tired of singing Happy Birthday and you probably are too, so I've done the very important public service of compiling other songs with roughly 20 sec choruses to sing:

A lot of “majorities” aren’t educated that their financial advantage isn’t because of their investments. It’s because of whiteness. Let me show you how:
A lot of minorities aren’t educated when it comes to investing their money where it counts. Many save up for years to buy a financed car that loses value, and chains that dont gain value. Its more on the education side that is affecting that wealth gap. Show people to invest
