Good news!
You have a BILLION dollars. Cash. Taxes paid.
(Big day at the tracks.)

But the world is ending in 10 years and it will all be gone.
We won’t consider charities yet.

So... How could you spend that $?
1/
P.P.S. You already own three homes so... in the ensuing years, you would save about $90 million in real estate from your budget since you don’t need to buy it again. Savings!
@onalius P.S. Just about done with this little sidetrack. It’s not the point and you’re being obtuse for shits and giggles and I have to go visit my money...
... er, mom.
@onalius Add another $150 million to the expenses column.
NOW you only have $600 million in cash left.
Holy fuck. How will you get by?!

I’m not planning my estate dude. I’m spending the cash.
P.P.P.S. Since points become obsconded by literal bean counters, I’m adding $150mil to the expense column. Now, you only have $600mil left... liquid. Sorry.
Fuck every troll of every kind.
This is ONE billion. How about 50 when 10s of millions of children are food insecure?
@o3tker @Mellebore ... anywhere near their fair share of taxes.
Our infrastructure is crumbling.
Corruption has clearly taken over our system of government even DESPITE the brilliance of our constitution....
@o3tker @Mellebore A 2 income family cannot pay past THIS WEEK and certainly will be bankrupted by any financial or medical emergency.
Our education, nutrition & morality is hanging by a thread.
The majority of our people cannot pay for the basics & many are food insecure. They will take ANY job.
@o3tker @Mellebore The system breaks when billionaires don’t contribute in taxes and keep it off shore.

They owe it to the country that’s made them wealthy.

They owe it to the workers who made them wealthy.

They owe it. They didn’t earn it. The system earned it.
@o3tker @Mellebore You have been very reasonable but so persistent & I tuned out. Sorry for being rude. But our country needs big structural changes &, no offense, I live here & you live there.

I need my point to be heard. You make the changes where you are & we’ll work for a fairer world.
P.P.P.P.S. Goddamn some people want to prove they took Econ 202 or some shit. I DGAF.

HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?

ANSWER. $1,000,000,001.
It’s nearly a trillion bucks for these friggin oxygen thieves.

If you were to tell 2020 John the Tesla Baby would buy perhaps the most powerful & informative communication platform in the world & radically, deliberately chip away at its effectiveness & authenticity solely to make it unusable…
…seemingly because some larger, tyrannical, governmental, global interests wanted it dead in order to stave off the clear, impending revolutions of its disenchanted & furious people for their oligarchic atrocities, I’d have scoffed. That would be a shitty movie.
I just can’t couch it any other way. There’s no other narrative that tracks. He has to have wanted to kill it. Otherwise it’d be like walking up on a 4 year old while it’s stabbing a squirrel & asking why only to hear ‘it has my 8 dollars. I want it to live free!’

One of the major benefits of Twitter is this:
I need information. I have the Internet. And I have a dozen truly trusted, wise friends. When I have questions, I’m looking for someone I trust for advice. I want to hear from someone with experience on the questions that I have.
I could call 3 or 4 or 5 of these trustees & get a consensus from people I know. Or I could ask 70,000 people & get a pretty good sampling of experience while getting a pretty good sense of who’s a nut job & who isn’t & I can make an informed decision.
You can’t do that by texting or telephone.
This app does that.
I really expect it to survive. I don’t like seeing it become awash in shitty tech and ideological controversy. This is a great equalizer. Like democracy.

Since she introduced me to this product 50 years ago:
Lemon curd for my Aunt Mary’s 100th birthday. Image
3 lemons
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 pound unsalted butter, room temperature
4 eggs (jumbo)
1/2 cup lemon juice (3 to 5 lemons)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1. Using a carrot peeler, remove the zest of 3 lemons, avoid the pith. Put the zest in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the sugar and pulse until the zest is very finely minced into the sugar.
2. Cream the butter and beat in the sugar and lemon mixture.

If I hear one more semi-well off stupid motherfucker tell me we can’t raise MINIMUM WAGE BECAUSE MCDONALDS WILL CHARGE $20 FOR LUNCH I WILL LOSE MY SHIT.

First of all:
Fuck McDonald’s. And their food. It’s bad for us & already overpriced.
Minimum wage at $20 is STILL UNLIVABLE.
Secondly. THE COST OF EVERYTHING HAS ALREADY BEEN JACKED BY UNBRIDLED CORPORATE GREED. They still don’t pay a living wage and yet they’re entitled to RECORD FUCKING PROFITS?!
Fuck that.
Lastly:
TAKE AN ACTUAL CHUNK FROM THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS MANDATORILY TO PARTICIPATE IN CAPITALISM. TAX THEM HARD. THEY PAY OR THEY CANNOT TRADE WITHIN OUR BORDERS.

Once we GET A SLICE OF THEIR MONEY…

I just started my first ever Downton Abbey and I’m concerned John Bates will not be able to handle all those stairs.
I couldn’t understand anything they were saying and then I realized it’s in English.
There’s very little handshaking at Downton.
