Remember, whenever someone says "Free"..... Free Healthcare Free Housing Free Food What they really mean is that they want you to pay for it.

There are so many people complaining about @elonmusk's wealth; let me interpret for you... Musk employs about 160,000 people, with average salaries between $60k and $146k each. When SpaceX had its IPO, Musk created 4,000 new millionaires. This does not include all the suppliers to his companies who benefit from all of the things his manufacturing companies need to purchase, all of the purchases his employees make with their paychecks, or all of the taxes he, his companies, and his employees pay. Musk himself had the highest US tax payment of anyone, ever. This is literally the definition of spreading the wealth and improving society. When people say that Musk should donate all his money to feed the world, what they are really saying is that he should liquidate his companies, all those employees should lose their jobs, and all those new millionaires should never have gotten their payoffs. Instead, everyone should get $1,000 a month added to their EBT cards, and all we'd have to give up in return is all the GDP growth, Free Speech, Space Internet, Electric Cars, Cybercab, Hyperloop, a path to Mars, data centers in space instead of using water and power on Earth, brain implants for paralyzed people, etc... I've got a better idea: how about you STFU instead?

According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvelous day today"! The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is very nice, let's take a bath together!" The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth, and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage. The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because the World, in any case, harbors no wish at all to meet the naked Truth. The world-famous painting: "The Truth Coming Out of the Well" Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1896

Randy Rhodes was one of the, if not the best lead guitarists of all time... You heard me right... Better than Eddie, Better than Page, better than Clapton... It's only because we only got two albums of him in his prime that he isn't as talked about as they are. He was only 25 when he died, and just beginning his career.

This is easy… The companies building data centers have money falling out of their butts. Just require that each data center needs to install their own SMR with x% supplied to the grid and a desalinization plant for water. foxnews.com/politics/ais-mas…

I know the spreadsheet monkeys would freak out, but Amazon would be better in the long run if they were to say they were ending delivery in NYC. If anyone in NYC ordered something, they need to drive to a New Jersey fulfillment center to pick it up. foxbusiness.com/retail/amazo…

How about a new regulation that each amusement park ride needs a sign that shows how many injuries and how many deaths occurred on the ride in the last 5 years? That way people have the information that they need to decide whether they want to get on or not. foxnews.com/travel/frighteni…

I've seen drive-through marriages... Even saw a drive-through divorce place in Las Vegas... But I never saw a drive-through birthing center!

Hey @POTUS, It's been brought to my attention that there may be another canal that the US needs to control for national security.

This guy, Hakeem LaPierre, gives me some optimism that society is making a comeback.
Elderly man beats up a younger man after he stepped on his foot and swung at him in a South Carolina restaurant. Boots and Sonny's worker, Hakeem LaPierre, is credited with helping the older man. "I saw it was a young guy jumping on an older man and then I saw a lobby full of men and nobody moved," he said. "I’m not looking for the hero title. I just do what I expect another person to do if they see that happening to my father or grandfather." The elderly man says his wife made him go to the ER after the incident. "I'm the man that got hit. I've had 3 heart attacks and on blood thinners that's why I went to the ER. I didn't want to go but my wife made me," he said in a Facebook comment. The younger man, Gregory Tyricus Jacobs, was arrested and charged with two counts of assault and battery.

Someone in Hawaii should create a channel for throwing weird stuff into a volcano.
