You pass away. The money continues to pour into your estate, a million dollars a day.
Years go by. Decades.
Centuries.
Millennia.
At long last, it’s the year 4765. The last million dollars is given to your estate.
You’ve finally received a total of…
One trillion dollars.
🧵end
The years go by and the money just keeps coming. You’ve stopped trying to figure out how to spend it on yourself years ago - you own homes around the world at your favorite travel destinations.
It’s the year 2076. You’ve been given 18.2 billion dollars. You’ve eliminated extreme poverty from your entire country. You’ve improved the quality of life for millions of people. There are songs and stories written about you.
🧵/6
After a year, your entire extended family is rich. There’s no debt. No one worries about money.
Poverty has been eliminated in your community and significantly reduced in your state.
The millions just keep coming.
After ten years, you live lavishly. You’ve single-handedly eliminated poverty from your entire region. No one starves or freezes to death on the streets.
🧵5/
As the days go by, and the millions just keep coming, you want for nothing.
Each day, you reach out to neighboring communities, funding an end to their hunger/homeless problems. Within a month, no one in your state is going hungry. In two months, no one is living on the street.
🧵4/
Day five. Another million dollars.
You reach out to the local HHS office and give enough to feed every hungry person in your city. You’ve just eradicated hunger where you live.
Day six. You donate enough to give basic shelter for every unhoused person.
One week in, and you’ve significantly improved the quality of life for everyone you know, and for the poorest people in your community.
🧵3/
The next day, you get another million dollars. What do you do with all this money?
You quit your job. You have no debt, and with a million dollars in the bank; why work? You can pay for any unforeseen medical expenses. You now live a stress-free life.
The next day, another million dollars.
You decide to travel. You arrange to fly first class to wherever your heart wants to see. You eat at fancy restaurants, stay in nice hotels. You see the world without concern for money.
🧵2/
Imagine being given a million dollars today. What would you do?
Obviously you pay off all your debt. You’d probably get yourself a nice home, paid for in cash. You still have enough for all new clothes, a nice car, and plenty of spending money for hobbies.
Now, imagine being given another million dollars the next day.
You help your extended family and close friends by paying off their debts. Maybe you help pay for a kid’s college. Everyone you know is financially secure.

Even if Democrats clean house in ‘26, and again in ‘28, I doubt they’ll do anything to fix the process that enabled a rapist, pedophile, and traitor to become president. We need half a dozen constitutional amendments to address this shit, and we’re going to get none of it.
When people are like, “China’s the future, bro. China has it goin on, y’all. China is where it’s at!”, I gesture to China.

I ditched Google when they decided that their motto should no longer be “don’t be evil.”
The backstory behind that was worse than I had thought.
We don’t need a future with Google in it.
When will he die
There have been six U.S. recessions in the last 50 years. Only one started under a Democrat, in 1980.
If you are less than 46 years old, you’ve lived your whole life without a recession starting under a Democrat president.
Chester A. Arthur was the last Republican president to hold office without starting a recession. He left office in 1885.
Across generations, Republicans are consistently terrible for the economy.
For anyone looking to get rid of mosquitoes, I have found a tested solution.
We bought a small package of Mosquito Dunks - put a chunk in a bucket of water with some straw (it’s supposed to help attract them) and place it in a shady area. We put four buckets around the edges of our yard.
For two years now, mosquitoes have been nonexistent at my place. It totally works.

“Your privacy is important to us.”
[72 paragraphs explaining how your privacy is not a consideration to our business model, and how your privacy is, in fact, not important to us.]
Mamdani balanced the budget overnight by taxing the rich.
Seems like there’s a lesson there; I don’t know.
Some of the best dark comedy in our flaming dystopia can be found in the markets, as they react with child-like faith in the very silly things our pedophile president says, then react VERY DIFFERENTLY when hard reality comes knocking.
Of all the funny things about Chump’s meme with a deck of Uno cards - and there are a LOT of funny things - it’s that he chose to portray himself holding the biggest cards he could find, which makes his hands look itty bitty.
The people who have unleashed thousands of heavily armed, masked government goons on exclusively Democrat-voting areas are suddenly concerned about political violence.
How do I convince my spouse to ditch fakebook?
