The Sad State of America's Billionaires Needs More Sympathy

And more sad tales of the wealthy and powerful...

Really, I just don’t understand how the sad billionaires can get by with a system that takes and takes from them.

This came from Twitter on May 19, 2022

They got it from today’s article in Business Insider.

And since it includes the heir to an apartheid fortune, he just can’t stay out of the news with this severance settlement.

The attendant worked as a member of the cabin crew on a contract basis for SpaceX's corporate jet fleet. She accused Musk of exposing his erect penis to her, rubbing her leg without consent, and offering to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage, according to interviews and documents obtained by Insider.

The incident, which took place in 2016, is alleged in a declaration signed by a friend of the attendant and prepared in support of her claim. The details in this story are drawn from the declaration as well as other documents, including email correspondence and other records shared with Insider by the friend.

How cool is it that billionaires can avoid having to register as a sex offender or serve time in prison?

And on the heels of the SCOTUS leak of their pending reversal of Roe v Wade, amid the finger of blame being pointed at President Biden for the baby formula crisis, it’s interesting to see how many Republicans don’t really meet the definition of pro-life.

Today, after a 231-192 vote, the House approved $28 million for the FDA to overcome the baby formula shortage. All NO votes were Republicans and only 12 of them voted for it. It now heads to the Senate.

Sometimes it’s just too much news to do the deep dive of analysis to, so you just gotta shake your head and walk away.
