Best scene of the show
That's just what he's made public
These people sure are worried about the Epstein files being released when dems take the house.
Mikey-conversion therapy johnson sure seems alarmed.
A foreign adversary is donating millions of stolen profits to the facists. Who's surprised?
And of course this is just pocket change for him.
I have a thought experiment I drop on people to explain why billionaires are bad people. I make them tell me what they'd spend a million dollars on in a day if it were given today. Then again. Then again. Then again. Until they run out of meaningful things to spend it on. A billionaire could do that (assuming no income) for almost three years before running out. And a billionaire is a person who thinks that's not enough money.
Someone with hundreds of billions to trillions in assets could spend a hundred million dollars a day for a loooooooooooooooooooong time without running out.
So that 276? Looks impressive to poor schmucks like you and me, but to him? It means nothing.
