A civilisation that contains destitute poor as well as billionaires is an abject failure. A civilisation that contains trillionaires is one that will soon collapse. You've all been warned, many times, by many people, and yet here we fucking are.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.
Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.

When we had billionaires like Gates that funded charity we were relaxed about them. But some of us warned you: it's still just one man's whim. He could defund the work instantly. Musk proves the point. The way to ensure billionaires' money isn't used for ill is through taxation

Thimerosal has formula C9H9HgNaO2S. It is not mercury.
The systematic name for thimerosal is
