Start with the idea that every person you meet has struggled and been damaged in some way This damage causes them to not always be truthful, keep promises, or act as they know they should Love them anyway But don't let them or anyone rule over you

Billionaires pay far more in taxes than anyone else does, but even so, most of their money is tied up in stocks and ownership in companies. Jeff Bezos, as per your example, does not have anything close to $222 billion in liquid assets on hand. If you want to use a fraction of that $222 billion to fund insulin in the United States, then do your damn job and call on your colleagues in the Senate to allocate OUR tax dollars for it. Get off of social media and do something to stop enabling fraud, then work to balance the budget, and put the federal government's tax revenue to good use instead of worrying about what rich people do with their own money that you didn't earn and aren't entitled to have access to.
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@Upsdriver1991 @ChrisMartzWX Biden added 8 trillion to the debt - look it up yourself Don't rely on infographics anonymously sourced from the internet for basic facts

@Upsdriver1991 @RealOriginalist @ChrisMartzWX Okay, so not all billionaires are exploiters? And to say Oprah is just an entertainer is pretty silly, isn't it? How many companies does she own and run? How many employees does she have?

@jonmunce @RealOriginalist @ChrisMartzWX Oprah is an entertainer. You don't have to buy her product. But people like Elmo get involved in people's needs. They bribe congress to eliminate competition and exploit people afterwards. Try to keep up with current events

@Upsdriver1991 @ChrisMartzWX A simple Google search shows Biden added over $8 trillion himself to the national debt You're either lying to yourself, or trying to fool others I don't think it's going to work

@Upsdriver1991 @ChrisMartzWX You are conflating capitalism with the state This is a category error - they are as different as different can be

@Upsdriver1991 @RealOriginalist @ChrisMartzWX If you believe billionaires can't become that way without fraud or theft, would you mind answering a question for me? Who did Oprah Winfrey defraud and steal from to get where she is today? I eagerly await your response

@jonmunce @RealOriginalist @ChrisMartzWX No one acquires that much wealth without fraud and theft. Maybe you should actually look into how Elmo became that wealthy. Because he didn't invent anything. He's a modern day Thomas Edison

@Upsdriver1991 @ChrisMartzWX A purely capitalist society is based on consent and free exchange In a statist society, people like Elizabeth Warren can pass a law and take your money without your consent See the difference?

@jonmunce @ChrisMartzWX In a capitalist society, your labor is your capital. And your capital gets exploited everyday. You want to know how? Because we're told CEO's are the highest paid because they work the hardest. So how is Elmo CEO of 3 companies at the same?

@Upsdriver1991 @ChrisMartzWX In a free market, you may trade your labor for whatever you like Free exchange is, by definition, not exploitation I know of no one that says CEOs 'work the hardest' It's not about hard work - take a shovel into your backyard and dig a hundred holes, you've created nothing

A large tree trunk has been uncovered beneath a glacier in the Alps, dated to around 6,000 years ago. The species is Swiss stone pine. Today, trees of that type cannot grow at that altitude because it is far too cold. 6,000 years ago aligns with the Holocene climate optimum, a time when temperatures were far higher than now, even with far less atmospheric CO2. Earth's climate is cyclical. Mother Nature self-regulates. Narratives of doom serve political aims, not reality.
