Nearly 40% of newly minted billionaires this year received their wealth through inheritance.
This is the highest figure since UBS started releasing its annual billionaire wealth report in 2015.
Another reminder that the myth of the "self-made" billionaire is just that, a myth.

It’s startling how much MAGA projects their own thoughts onto everyone else. No-one except MAGA is really concerned about protecting anyone mentioned in the Epstein case file.

2/3 These people spent 20k on a gyroscope to prove the earth was flat. When the experiment proved the earth was round, they ignored it and made excuses. There was no point in engaging them because all the facts the showed the earth was round were a conspiracy by “them”.

We watched a documentary on Flat Earthers a few days ago called Beyond the Curve. The topic itself is not interesting, but the idea that people will stick to a belief not based on any facts or reality was interesting.

Remember, if something awful happens in a red state it’s disgusting to question political leaders and their responsibility. But if something awful happens in a blue state well, it’s only natural to blame it all on the libs or the one (1) trans person who was employed by the city for a few years.
Rep. Roger Williams on people questioning the response to the Texas floods: "Why don't they write a nice letter to somebody? Why don't they down there and say 'we're gonna pray for these people'? Let's hold hands and do that."

It is really sad, and embarrassing, that four Supreme Court justices believe that it is perfectly OK for the federal government to not pay for goods and services recieved. It seems that would set a precedent that dine and dash as perfectly legal. Is that what ‘conservative’ means now?
