Tl;dr the body cam footage picked up on “the princess & the frog” in the background, which distorted the report.

I write this so you don’t have to click on the story. I agree with other posters; this is lazy police work from Utah.

Fuck yeah, math homie. Thank you.

Billionaire math

Average USA billionaire has about $7b in wealth.

2026 * 365 ‎ = 739,490

$7,000,000,000 / 739,490‎ = $9,465.98

You would need to make $9k per day, for 2026 years, to catch up to the average billionaire wealth right now.

It’s estimated in 2026 that it would cost $37b to end world hunger until 2030.

Also note that Musk, Bezos, and other extreme billionaires are up to 100x of the average here ($700b for Musk). Who is making $900k per day?

This is not natural, it’s not rational, and it’s completely bullshit. You can come up with whatever distraction you want (“wealth & income aren’t the same”), but we should be taxing every dollar above $1b at 99% or higher.

30 years * 365 day = 10,950

$1,000,000,000 / 10,950 ‎ = $91,324.20

I could easily live off of $91k per DAY for 30 YEARS.

If you put these numbers against a human time scale we can understand, I don’t see the argument for this level of wealth, especially not as people go hungry, without clothes or food, and children die.

Spotify performs as one of the worst when it comes to creator royalties and appropriate pay.

It’s not THE worst, and these numbers have shifted since 2022. The general sentiment (that Spotify stiffs artists) is still shared by the general community.

They can only do this with a credible claim legally. However, we know how much that word does not matter to this current regime…

Garbage in, garbage out.

These are important to me as gifts from my sister who passed away a few weeks ago. She gave them to me when I was 8 or something, and I’m 36 now. They are supposed to be for good luck & improved studies.

I find myself sitting down without screens more often nowadays because of this phenomenon. Sometimes it’s just too much.

My thought exactly. “Oh shit…DBZ was right…”

I followed the chain down here.

Fuck calling this “Obamacare Price Hikes”. This is Trump’s doing; along with the Republicans. Why isn’t this “Trump hikes”? Oh yeah, everyone just shills now.

I stand humbled!

I’m out of work. Someone from our church gave us $1000 to get by, and another person gave me $200 this morning. We had a member of our choir and AA group talk about gratitude this morning. Our reverend also talked about her AA experience & speak on gratitude.

I’m a Unitarian Universalist. It’s not the religion you’re used to. But as someone that was an angry atheist for ~25 years, I get the critique of faith.

Wishing you much love & compassion homie.

The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference.

And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.

Elie Wiesel

Ah, so a bunch of geriatrics vote Republican, believe the best times are ahead, and also believe the country is more divided than ever. Contrasted by, the younger voters believe the American dream is dead, and we need radical change.

Also if we’re anonymous, we hate everyone just a little bit more.

We’ve lost the moral center in this country that we pretended to believe. Now we’re steeped in pessimism & sardonic irony. Everything is more expensive to boot.

The older generations in this country have barely any connection to reality. We’re bleeding social services, creating massive debt, & the planet is clearly worse each year. It’s hard to be positive about anything in America right now, unless you love fascist secret police and drink the authoritative, agitprop koolaid.

It’s the Russian dream fulfilled: a fractured, divided union. Not like we didn’t ask for it.

My wife and I were saying that Gen Z and on have no “America was good” reference. I’m late 30s, she’s early 40s, and both of have some image of what that meant. For my kids, I have no clue. We’re in a privileged state, but I don’t feel safe in any way.

100%. The move itself is an admission of guilt compared to past presidencies, D & R. I worry every night for our union in the US. I really don’t know if we’ll last.

Correct. They cannot be separate powers but coequal without the ability of enforcement. If the military is all subordinate to the president, and Congress or SCOTUS don’t have resources to enforce their oversight of the others, then they are not coequal. They are coequal in theory, never in practice.
