It’s crazy that the Artemis ll astronauts are paid standard government salaries with no additional hazard pay, performances bonuses, or overtime for their mission to the Moon.
They do it for the love of space exploration and for humanity!
Annual Salaries:
U.S. astronauts on the mission (Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch) earn between $90,000 and $152,258 per year based on their federal General Schedule (GS) level, tenure, and location.

@novaramedia Free is it? Everyone working in the health system won’t be paid?
English

Mexico’s 120 million citizens will begin to enjoy free, universal access to healthcare from next year, following a decree by socialist president Claudia Sheinbaum.
The landmark policy will unify a fragmented and unequal system that has left many unable to receive care at certain hospitals and clinics, forcing them instead to use only what their insurance provider covers.
In theory, Mexico’s sprawling network of public health institutions should provide most people with coverage, but in practice poorer people and those in rural communities often cannot get the medicines or treatment they need without out-of-pocket expenses. Private health insurance, meanwhile, fills the gap, creating a two-tier system based on income.
The first phase of the new universal system will begin on 13 April, with citizens aged 85 and older eligible to register for the ID needed to access care. From January 2027, healthcare institutions will start working together to bridge gaps in access to care.
Since coming to power in 2024, Sheinbaum has sought to undo decades of damage caused by neoliberal policies, building on the work of the previous socialist government. She has pledged to build 1.8m new homes to tackle a housing shortage while strengthening tenants’ rights.
Last year she announced plans to shorten the work week from 48 hours to 40 hours, while increasing the minimum wage by 13%, continuing a policy of regular hikes championed by her predecessor and mentor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador since 2018.
"For years it was said that the minimum wage couldn't go up,” she told a conference in December, “that it would cause inflation, that there would no longer be investment in the country, foreign investment.”
Despite that, following a cumulative minimum wage increase of 154% since 2018, “we are at a record level of foreign investment," she added.

Sign the petition.
Coles has partnered with Palantir, a company with deep ties to the CIA, US military operations, and surveillance systems around the world. We're calling on Coles to end that partnership.

🚨 KEN FISHER’S LATEST PORTFOLIO JUST DROPPED
$293 billion in positions revealed in the last 24 hours.
This is more important than you think:
Fisher is one of the largest asset managers in the world who has predicted all major economic crises for years.
Here’s what Fisher just did with his portfolio:
Bonds: Increased heavily.
iShares 7–10Y Treasury ETF: +53.81%.
iShares MBS ETF: ~$8.47B position maintained.
Corporate bond ETFs: Added (~$2B+ combined exposure).
Massive shift into duration.
At the same time: Broad equity exposure: Reduced.
Interesting part:
Financials: Reduced ($1B+ trimmed across positions).
Industrials: Cut ($800M+ reduction).
Select tech: Slightly reduced in some names.
But here’s what stands out:
NVIDIA: Increased ($1.2B position).
Microsoft: Added ($5.5B position).
Alphabet (Google): Increased ($4.3B position).
Amazon: Added ($3.8B position).
Now the real signal:
He’s not going risk-off.
Keeping exposure to dominant tech. Moving into bonds.
Put it together:
He’s preparing for tighter conditions.
Positioning defensively while staying selective.
For the record, I’ve been studying macro for over 15 years, and I’ve called the last 4 major market tops and bottoms.
When I make a new move in the market, I’ll say it here so you can copy my moves.
If you still haven’t followed me, you’ll regret it.

@hovah76 Jordan was having 40+ points games at the wizards. Stop it.
English

I watched Michael Jordan at the age of 38. He was with the Wizards. Years of being a degenerate alcoholic had caught up to him.
He had very little lift. He was missing basic fast-break dunks. Younger players were feeling sorry for him. He looked like a charity case. The little engine that once could.
This 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 is Lebron James at the age of 41. The most disciplined athlete in the HISTORY of the NBA.
If younger players wish to see HIM, they have to look up at the top of the BOX on the backboards!
Man is still so dominant and flies so high, haters out here talking about PED’s.
I got news for you: The NBA did not even start testing for PED’s until 1999……after Michael Jordan retired from the league.
The ENTIRE LEAGUE was on PED’s when MJ played, including MJ.
What…….you thought that a dude who came into the league skin and bones, and transformed to cock diesel after getting punk’d by the Detroit Pistons multiple times was all natural? 😂😂
Lebron was one of the strongest SF’s in the league upon ARRIVAL, and gets tested regularly, just like every other player POST the MJ steroid era.
You can hate it……but PLEASE respect it!!

The US demanded Iran surrender all its enriched uranium, same demand as before the war. Why would a stronger Iran accept this now? Powerful evidence that the US is caught in the Escalation Trap wsj.com/livecoverage/i…

@BarackObama @NASAArtemis Is it correct that your administration tried to stop these sorts of achievements?
English

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

@PeterSchiff @atensnut None of the other presidents exploited their position?
English

@atensnut Trump has made billions exploiting his power as president. Why would he need a salary? That's peanuts. He gives up his tiny salary as a publicity stunt to create the false impression that he's not in it for the money.

As a Pakistani diplomat who I happened to meet today, told me, "In essence, the United States can not conduct serious diplomacy; their arrogance and maximalist approach make it extremely difficult for them to show minimum care and flexibility for the interests and concerns of other nations."

@stengel You forgot the bit where America hands them billions of dollars as well.

You know what would be amazing if Vance and his team can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of enriched uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; keeps the straits open without charging anyone; and commits to all of this for at least ten years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.
