Unpopular opinion but hoarding wealth should be considered shameful.
The worst thing about becoming rich (500M+) is that there’s nothing to buy. You invest to increase your money, but that’s not buying things. 20 cars, 10 houses, yacht, jet, 15 diamond watches. Done. Then you’re left with PILES OF MONEY and nothing at all to buy besides steak.

Despite decades of failure and growing public backlash, Utah politicians say they’ll keep trying to wrest control of federal public lands. The ultimate goal? Privatize them, sell them off, &keep extractive industries happy. bit.ly/3TRABtW
Our political discourse is so obsessed with creating conflict these days. This whole thing is just dramatic.
does AOC just like hate rashida and ilhan now? her posture on this seems like thinly veiled contempt for them
Everyone who chooses to come to America and make a life for themselves is an American. That’s like our whole Thing.
I think if your family has hundreds of years of history in America you are frankly more American than somebody who migrated to America in 2015.
Every single person I met while in Europe for two months said they would not visit the US right now.

There’s no putting the “AI” genie back in the bottle. Instead of denying this and expecting abstinence from a technological revolution from regular people at the retail level while every corporation & government adopts it in various ways…
It's been almost 3 hours and this meeting is still going. People are being given 2 minutes each to comment. Not a single person has spoken in favor of the agreement yet.
Happening now: A packed commission hearing in @UtahCountyGov where the crowd is largely against the county signing a 287(g) agreement with @ICEgov. County leaders and the Sheriff insist there will not be raids on farms and it's needed. Details at 4 on @abc4utah.

The confederate flag is officially back up at the South Carolina Capitol. What’s your reaction?

The birth rate blame game isn’t even very helpful because no social policy will make a meaningful difference
Been in Europe for a couple months and everyone is shocked by the US, absolutely disgusted. They predict we are headed for a civil war.
A new mural in France depicting Lady Liberty covering her face in shame was unveiled the day before America's Independence Day.
Damn its like giving the kids something to do instead of criminalizing them works
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m. planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, and opened several schools up for summer classes… Crime is down 62%. Imagine that.
