Self-made millionaires tend to have a few distinct qualities. For one, their relationship with money can differ from that of their friends. They might focus more on long-term financial goals and be more stringent about saving.

When Lane Kawaoka became a millionaire by buying rental properties, he realized his newfound wealth was making him feel lonely. Much of it had to do with differing mindsets.

Ah yes, self-made. Generating money from the aether thru the purchase of real estate. Not hoarding housing and leeching off of the value created by others.

Personally, I don’t give a shit if someone came here legally or not. Crossing an imaginary government line on a map somewhere isn’t a real crime.

Don’t disappear anybody actually!

Class war

We informed the parent that documentation such as a chromosome analysis could be considered to help support or verify eligibility in accordance with policy.

I cannot imagine being the dumbass who said that with a straight face.

Folks. Publicly traded companies will ALWAYS compare the expected value of breaking the law with compliance.

Say it costs $100 million to follow the law. Breaking it comes with a $300 million fine, but only a 20% chance of getting caught.

They compare a 100% chance of paying $100 million to a 20% chance of paying $300 million.

Average cost of following the law: $100 million

Average cost of breaking it: $60 million

If we’re gonna do capitalism (which I would rather we not, for the record!), we have to make that expected value calculation break in favor of following regulations. If it is cheaper to break the law than to follow it, you’re not just losing money by complying: you’re giving ground to your competition. Fines need to be massive. Infractions need to get caught and punished. Executives need to be held personally accountable. Corporations need to be dissolved. Fines cannot be just the cost of doing business.

CNBC financial news channel anchor Joe Kernen compared New York to Batman’s crime-riddled Gotham. “ They’re taking Wall Streeters and making them walk out onto the ice in the East River, And, and then they fall through. I mean there is a class warfare that’s going on.”

“Raising taxes on people who have more wealth than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes is the same as murder.”

I cannot empathize with anyone who says that shit with a straight face. You’ve either abandoned any principles you may have had to spew propaganda, or are so completely delusional that you actually believe it.

Jesus Christ, yes, I am a comfort hunter. You think I get up at the ass crack of dawn every day for fun? You think I want to push buttons on a computer all day because I’m just weirdly into it?

No! I do this shit because I have to!

Fucking hell. I’ve already accepted that I have to make your company money if I want to live in a house. For the love of all that is good in this world, PLEASE do not make me pretend to like it. I’m already weirded out that you’re so into it.

Love that podcast! That’s how I learned about the corpse thing.

The obsession with animal corpses. The myriad bizarre diseases and conditions. The desperate attempt to bring back measles. The reckless disregard for public health. The unnerving face that dips into the uncanny valley.

Folks, I think RFK jr may be Pestilence.

I keep getting recruiters sending me in-office jobs on the other side of the country and not even telling me the salary range. You’re asking me to break my lease, uproot my family, and leave behind all my local friends. If your salary is low enough that you don’t want to advertise it up front, why would I ever even consider doing all that?

I would create a device that could locate any missing object. Go treasure hunting to make a living, and help find missing people / pets when I can.

Right? Like in my ideal world, guns would be a hobby for weird nerds in the same way fencing is today. The one or two times I have felt like there’s even a small chance I may need to use a gun in self defense were terrifying and stressful.

Wow! Thanks for the link. You’ve brightened my evening a bit.

I hope at least a sizeable chunk of Trump voters regret voting for him. It breaks my heart to know that there are legitimately people who have paid attention to all his lies and already broken promises and still want the guy to lead the country. I don’t know how to salvage someone like that.

Let me know when he doesn’t get back up.

Truth. We will be better off as a society when/if we stop giving a shit what they think.

Oh shit! Reading comprehension is my passion.

Yeah, that’s much more based.

Sucks that “firing” is what we’re trying to get, when it should be “life changing legal consequences”.
