The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.
Read that back.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Me: BATMAN BEGINS is great, but I was amused by the writers’-fiat plot device that a place can be SO corrupt that some reasonably-organized foreign actor can just puppeteer it on a whim.

Nearly every medicine we benefit from started with NIH-funded research. Early discovery work starts in academia.
Immunotherapies?
Gene therapy for rare diseases?
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s medicines?
Vaccines?
Novel cancer treatments?
Psychiatric medicines?

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich.
How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

Wow do you ever remember a little version of yourself and just want to hug them and congratulate them and tell them it’s all going to be worth it in the end? Like, all the hard times. Do you want to tell them how much better it is going to get?

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured.
Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.”
No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.
