Tax billionaire wealth.
I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.

“A feature of fascism is the transformation of politics into spectacle. Fascism wants to reduce active citizens into voyeurs—especially voyeurs of cruelty and death. Such degradation of a democratic public is key to fascism’s project and to its success.”

An extremely relevant paper, given the renewed concern that wealth taxes lead to massive out-migration:
The Norwegian wealth tax "exodus", discussed in global media, never happened. At most 100 individuals left. Tax revenue increased by +71.5%. No changes in business activity.
Norway's controversial 2021–2024 reforms nearly doubled the tax on business wealth. Firms of affected owners did not invest less, and outmigration was limited to the very top, from @Mariusring nber.org/papers/w35854

The level of income and wealth inequality in the U.S. is beyond insane.
The top 0.00001% (just 20 households) now owns over $4 trillion — more than 12 times the wealth of the bottom 50% COMBINED.
We must defeat oligarchy. Billionaire wealth tax NOW.

Michigan State psychiatrist Lionel Rosen changed Nick Saban’s career 🔥
Before facing No. 1 Ohio State in 1998, Saban didn’t even think the Spartans had a chance.
He called Rosen for advice, and the message was simple: take it play by play, ignore the scoreboard, and focus on the next six seconds.
Six seconds of hell.
Michigan State pulled off the upset, winning 28-24 in one of the most memorable moments in program history.
And here’s the crazy part: Lionel Rosen is still working at Michigan State today. 👀
Saban’s coaching record since the win: 259-49. 🐐

The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall.
I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.

Why have so many people fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen.
It's time to fix the system.

One of the biggest issues we have as a society is platforming and magnifying loud people instead of smart & genuinely good people. It’s a huge reason for a ton of problems.

Whether it's Bill Clinton using tax-payer money to pay for postage on letters sent to people who wrote to his cat or Donald Trump steering hundreds of millions of dollars of contracts to his son's companies, both presidents engaged in corruption on an unprecedented scale.

Can't recall a top-tier HS football league struggle as much as the PAL Bay this season.
PAL Bay's six teams: 8-19, w/only LG above .500.
PAL De Anza teams (tier below Bay): 23-5, with all six teams above .500
De Anza teams are 6-1 vs. Bay teams
