In the last 24 hours, Elon Mush has lost over $11 billion of his wealth as Tesla share prices crash. That's still only 2.5% of his net worth, though. That's staggering to think about.

Think about this - If Trump and Elon are so concerned with the national debt, then why are they trying to gut the IRS and prevent the wealthy from paying taxes, and then try to give them a $1.4 trillion tax cut paid for by cuts to Medicare and Social Security?

Feeding America is able to turn $1 donated into 10 meals for people. Based on Elon Musk's current net worth of $460 billion, he could feed every person in this country 3 meals a day, every day, for 12 1/2 years. Or he could theoretically end hunger world-wide right now. Well?

I went to my local Costco today. The mall it's attached to is being demolished, and as part of that the Costco is being expanded and renovated. The downside to that is that the food court is closed for 20 weeks. I have to go 20 weeks without my $1.50 hotdogs and churros. Not fair!
