I thought 35%ish in the US was bad. 56% in Russia is one of the more shocking stats I've seen about their inequality.

Direct Drive tech reduced the number of moving parts so low that it put Big Washer Repair out of business and they had to develop other ways to monetize your laundry.

They actually trended "CLEARED" on Twitter because the one lady in the lawsuit was asked if she personally was raped by Trump and she said no.

Nobody pondered why his name would specifically come up in a deposition about people getting raped by Epstein's friends...

There's a famous example of the poverty trap that uses boots that fall apart every season vs quality boots that last, and I think there is a quality level that is so bad it's more expensive in the long run. So I do buy shoes that cost money. But I'm not buying fashion shoes or luxury brand shoes which I think is what you're saying too.

The Australian billionaire who leaked the nuclear sub info he got from Trump bragged about doing that. Called it a cost of doing business.

Maybe I'm being a spoil sport but this seems like a cover to me. Like maybe it was "a burgler" but that person was someone's older brother who knew what they were going to find.

I just don't see the circumstances for a random burglar to be snooping through folders close enough to find the presumably relatively hidden items they'd need to find, let alone that happening alongside the low odds an actual burglar would risk their own security to do the right thing.

It's not for doing nothing, it's for doing things he already did. He got the stock as part of his compensation plan at Microsoft.

And a dividend of $0.75 per share is 0.2% interest at the current share price, he could get more in a savings account and 20x that in a CD or something. The dividend isn't crazy high. He just had a shitload of their stock.

Executive compensation as a whole is a story, but Steve Ballmer is not doing anything particularly noteworthy.

"Have more kids to save the culture" seems 100% at odds with saving the planet, as does expending 51 tons of CO2 to make the statement.

If everyone lived like Elon the planet would be ruined and the only hope would be colonizing Mars...but there's no way to get everyone off the planet, especially if we have 11 kids each.

I just don't see a coherent ideology except "save the planet long enough for me to off it."

Trump appeared on Epstein's flight logs at least 7 times confirmed in a court of law it's not even conjecture to say he is on there.

There is literally no evidence or reason to believe Biden is on the list.

But BoTh sIdEs

You know it's a good grinder because its name is incomprehensible combinations of letters and numbers.

My first big corporate job had internal salary ranges posted for when you're looking at a new job within the same company, and I had to reckon with this as a new employee. I'd see basically my job posted with my salary on the far low end of the possible range and when I discussed it with folks I learned that the posted median salary is the median for everybody in that job, including people with 10 years of experience etc. So even if I'm impressing as a kid fresh out of college, the median isn't the right metric to judge myself against.
