Madonna is topping the charts, Argentina is breaking English hearts, and the US economy is being driven by overwhelming greed and profit above all else. The 80s are back!

There is going to be a LOT of bullshit about trusts. So let's keep our eye on the ball. Bugger all people use them. But millionaires do and they get a LOT of income through them And they do that because they can avoid paying tax.
Chart showing percent of people who use trusts by total income range:

Total income or loss range	Percent with trusts
$1 - $50,000	10.7%
$50,000 - $100,000	10.4%
$100,000 - $150,000	16.5%
$150,000 - $250,000	26.7%
$250,000 - $500,000	34%
$500,000 - $1m	45.8%
$1m+	56.4%

Chart showing average income from trusts by total income range:

Hmm, when a country sells more goods to the US consumer than it buys, it gets punished with tariffs. But when a country goes bankrupt because of irresponsible monetary policy, the US sends them a $20 billion rescue package.

Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.

In regards to #AUKUS, I think the most obvious thing Australia should do is cancel the sub contract, sail into the sun until we find a sea of green, round up all the submarines they have there, and Bob's your uncle. #auspol

Contrast this with how JD Vance talks to Europe: www.bbc.com/news/article...
He alleged European Union "commissars" were suppressing free speech, blamed the continent for mass migration, and accused its leaders of retreating from "some of its most fundamental values".
The EU's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, characterised Vance as "trying to pick a fight" with Europe, home to some of the US's closest allies.

It seems like all Peter Dutton is doing this campaign is responding to journalists’ requests for clarification about myriad confusing positions he or his party has taken by saying “We have been very clear about our position.” They wouldn’t be asking if you had been clear Pete. #auspol
