Cheese and crackers, this was one of your best, Tom!

It is becoming more clear to me as time goes by that the almighty dollar is the driving force behind a discouraging number of things political. What I cannot resolve is how the few extremely wealthy people in this world want more and more money. I mean, how much money does one person or family need? It just leaves me drooling in stunned disbelief that they do not seem to care one whit about the world they are creating for their descendants. Maybe that is the key to all their greed and lies - the really do not care. Isn't that what was on the back of Melania's jacket?

FWIW, I am also vegetarian.

The money is only a counting system to measure the power.

Yeah, right? Who can actually conceive of 1000 piles of one million dollars?

But hey, perhaps the 100’s of billions of dollars these guys hoard is actually just a Star Wars Force Shield that prevents another Jay Gould-ish take over of their empire by the “marauding jackyl-like persona” of an Elon “man-boy” Murky; aka nuclear threat deterrent. “You can’t buy me, cuz I got more Franklin Nukes than you”.

They DON'T care about anyone but themselves. And, yes, Melania's jacket. Exactly.

this is the question I ask myself several times a day. when is ENOUGH enough? it's occurred to me that maybe vast wealth (multiple billionaire wealth) does something nasty to brain chemistry). but I also know that such speculation is bullshit.

and of course, it's the same thing with power.

money and power. both utterly imaginary on one level and still essentially worthless if you don't use them appropriately.
