To spend a billion dollars you need to spend $100,000 a day every day for almost 30 years.
"Spend" means having nothing to show for it. Any assets purchased are added to your wealth.
There is no "cost of living" for billionaires and hoarding money they can't use while others starve is immoral.

Seriously underrated film. 6.6 on IMDB is shocking low. The cinematography is top notch. Not sure why it isn't more highly regarded.
The sort-of sequel Along Came a Spider wasn't nearly as good. Maybe that damaged Kiss the Girls' reputation?

Copycat: The way computers work is cringy (as was the custom for the time) but otherwise very good. Could probably have done with more murder investigation and less love triangles among the investigators but the production and acting are both great. Holy Hunter is characteristically excellent.

Right wing grifters now Trump's popularity has plummeted:
"Actually Trump isn't left wing or right wing but a secret third wing that looks and sounds right wing and does exactly what we were saying he should do but is different and dumb not good and smart like us."

I'm not a political expert but it seems bad that the best option for a politician losing popularity is to hurt a bunch of people.
Wherever we're headed as a species, it'd be nice to have a system where "make people's lives really bad" isn't the goal.

I remember watching Futurama and seeing the Scammer Aliens on Benders Big Score and thinking: this doesn't make any sense. It's all clearly illegal and there are hardly any of them. Why doesn't everyone just say no and take their stuff back?
Then I watched the last year and thought: oh.

"$6000 a night penthouse-suite." For interviews.
Using fancy hotel rooms to conduct interviews is standard practice. They need the space for lighting and camera setup and additional rooms for gear and waiting rooms etc. The bottom right photo is literally Sky utalising the space for setup.

Big fan of electric vehicles in general but Teslas are seriously boring looking.
That Model 3 looks like a corolla that won't stop talking about cryptocurrency at a party.
