Since European colonization, North America has lost 9–11 billion birds.
• ~5–6 billion before 1940
• ~1–2 billion from 1940–1970
• ~2.9 billion since 1970
The quiet collapse of abundance is how the Sixth Mass Extinction is playing out: fewer wings, fewer songs.

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package.
That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax.
Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes.

DHS gave a $1 billion contract to a politically-connected donor whose company had never received a federal contract before, in a process led by a political appointee to DHS who had held a senior position at a MAGA-linked org (the American First Policy Institute) which gave the guy an award in 2024.
