By the way, the funniest part is that it’s actually true.


What I also love is that even in 2026, there are still all these billionaires and people with so much money that if you tried to type it into a phone calculator, it would just crash and give an error.


And they’re out here acting like they live in a plastic house, pretending they basically don’t spend anything, like they’re just regular dudes.


But I’m 100% convinced — if I had that kind of money, oh man… dude, I would be doing the most ridiculous, hilarious, absurd things with it, you have no idea!
 
Two random thoughts

I knew a guy who had a black belt and got in a street fight against a larger bully/aggressor. Karate guy had a karambit and the larger guy was unarmed. Karate guy cut the big guy's arm but didn't hurt him much and got charged with a felony. I think karambits are stupid.

If you want to engage in tax evasion, or develop a strategy to do so, don’t discuss it in a public forum.

Im not sure that they're allowed to spend it.

They are the jars that keep getting filled with printed water.

If they started splashing too much of it around then I flation would be felt much harder by the people who are responsible for the debt that the water represents.

They probably have some allowance based on the bottom line.

They keep inflation in check by keeping the dollars tied up in the rich people's funds and stock portfolios and not in the economy proper. Once it's in a hamburger costs 97 dollars and your butt is currency

Once a drunk guy attacked me — he grabbed my arm and even lightly hit me.
But I didn’t hit back. I just pushed him away and ran off.

I was just doing my morning walk to the shop to grab a Red Bull and some cola.

For a long time afterward I kept thinking in my head: why did I just run away instead of getting into it?
It feels like I simply understood that I wasn’t in any real danger.
 
FTR, I don't believe that the way to save the environment/whales/trees/bats/oceans/tigers/butterflies/etc. is to have tons of cheap Chinese made goods produced and shipped all around the world by highly polluting vessels, then packaged into donation mail packets and delivered individually to millions of homes. It's all a scam to get $$$ for a select few.
