Here's what "wealthy" really is:
- No unserviceable debt
- House and vehicle(s) paid off
- Enough passive income to cover all foreseeable bills and tax payments
- Enough liquid disposable income to make a massive purchase. Let's call it 100M dollars, just to make the math nice and impressive.

There is no reason at all that anyone should be a billionaire, and this is not a hot take or in any way controversial at all.
Americans have somehow mass adopted the delusion that it could be them one day, without even considering what that means, and what it takes to achieve. Hint: Evil.

A true crisis in education. A graduate teaching assistant is out of a job, even as this woman admits that she sloppily put together her essay without reading the assigned research paper. "It was really easy because I had a strong opinion on the topic." This isn't a YouTube comment section????
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

OK, so the warrior dividends come from a housing allowance supplement that was in the Big Beautiful Bill, it has nothing to do with tariffs. That housing allowance for off-base expenses has been seen as inadequate, which necessitated the increase.

I know that I don't have to point out that the oil, the land all of it belongs to the Venezuela people.
But I guess that doesn't matter anymore. Trump is now officially using the Vladimir Putin playbook.

Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."
