He could be doing SO MUCH with that wealth man... Such a waste
English
Can’t believe this guy’s goal is to hoard a $10T net worth.
I would think with all that wealth, he would use it to help people more.
Like ending deaths in car accidents, or providing affordable transport for everyone, or offering internet to isolated people groups or something.

JUST IN: Elon Musk says his goal is to reach a $10 trillion net worth. "$10T or bust"

Peter Navarro: "One of the biggest problems we have is inflation in beef. And one of the reasons has to do with just the way nature has been for the last decade or more. There's not much we up here can do about that. But Joe Biden ... "

@NickStillHere Minimum wage started at .25/hour in 1938. That's $10/week. Enlighten us what you were "covering" for $40/month? Rent was $27/month on average back then
Stop gaslighting us that anyone has ever lived comfortably on minimum wage. The average income was much higher than this.

Y'all should look up what minimum wage was supposed to cover when it was first created. Then you wouldn't be saying this dumb shit lol

Am I the only one who still views minimum wage as gas money for your car and movie tickets for you and your date while you gain work experience in high school or at the bookstore in college? When did it become a career wage?

"Shop the rights." There it is, folks! For the record: I made TWO short films that made the festival circuit and received laurels. Couldn't get it ANYWHERE on PPV because "muh piracy!" even though we completely own everything in the films 100%.
So what does he COME RIGHT OUT AND ADMIT? You have to give up the rights to your own film to the copyright cartels to get anywhere!

@kurps84518 @ShipHappens1965 @Nelly29598213 @gaughen i always find it amusing how easily maga men feel it would of been for them as children to be convinced to become woman. gotta be the biggest self report of all time. you're either all deeply closeted, flat out sheep or both.

@ShipHappens1965 @Nelly29598213 @gaughen Of course it has it exploded with y'all indoctrination of kids

Apparently, the new MAGA narrative is that being poorer and sicker is worth it because America feels so much more badass now.
Total fucking clown world.

@mtntallpaul you bought your first house for $17 dollars in the 60s. sit this one out paul

This is how mortgages have always worked.
Don't like it?
Save up the money to buy a house for cash.
Uzi@UziCryptoo
The average US mortgage is $250,000 at 7% over 30 years. Total repayment? $598,000. You borrow $250K and pay back $598K. $348,000 straight to the bank. For nothing. Then you pay to fix up the house. Stuff breaks. You pay insurance monthly. Property taxes every year. 3–6% in realtor fees when you sell. And we act like renting is throwing money away. There is a strong argument for renting.

@amitylee13 @BandNo11394 boomer who benefited greatly from a minimum wage that when adjusted for inflation has never in her entire life been lower than it is right now wants to get rid of it instead of price correct for todays cost of living...
...least surprising shit I've read on the internet...

1. No one is making $7.25/hr.
2. Government imposed minimum wage should be $0.00.

The minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.25 an hour. A regular Auntie Anne’s soft pretzel at the mall is $7.29. Imagine telling someone an hour of their time is worth less than a pretzel.

@gailcweiner this is the most fuck ass silicon valley style view on humanity. its always what app could solv....stop it....just go the fuck outside

We mock people who form relationships with AI, but we don’t talk about how many humans have lost trust in other humans.
AI can work as a bridge, helping us heal, teaching us to trust again, and eventually leading us back to human connection.

@shanedk @TheMG3D all platforms pay for views and are distributed globally. if you want someone to pay YOU, then maybe try writing a script and shopping it around, make a short film and submit it to a festival, write a web series, comic or book that gains any kind of popularity and shop the rights

@TheMG3D Spoken like someone who's never tried to make a film...

@dantypo @MaximumK75753 keep in mind 13.62 is the equivalent buying power based on CPI, and barely accounts for things like tuition which his wildly outpaced inflation or even rent which also outpaces inflation.
English
@dantypo @MaximumK75753 in an ideal world min wage workers are only paying for gum and stickers, but in reality people pay for life, or college. just one example of selling out this generation below. you could pay for college with a summer job in 1970, now you'd have to work near full time year round.

When did it become a career wage?
JB Pritzker@JBPritzker
$7.25 an hour is about $14,000 a year. No one can survive on that. People can barely survive on double that. We raised the minimum wage in Illinois. It's long overdue everywhere else.
