Nearly half of households are going hungry? Ax, do you believe that?
USDA

MacKenzie Scott
Like a lot of women who were married to stupidly rich people, she looks as though she should eat more.

I know one household that isn't going hungry, at least not by the looks of it.
||But he's my good friend and I would NEVER make fun of him.

I think my old buddy Ax makes a good point, based upon the links which I didn't read.
When a person is wealthier than entire countries, something is out of whack. It's not just the obscene wealth, it's the power that comes along with it.
The above is obvious. But, how to change something other than just tax at a higher rate? How to diminish the influence of the most wealthy, so that they direct some of their money towards what I want, instead of what they want? How to have the U.S. billionaires keep most of their money in the U.S.? How to keep nerdy geeks from becoming tyrants?

I was just kidding around with Rainman.

Let's examine these Americans who suffer from "food insecurity".
They don't get married, that way they get free health care.
They get a government check.
They get an additional (I think the amount is correct) 700 dollars per month per child, so they breed like rats.
They get WIC for buying food.
Not in every case, but in a lot of cases where baby daddy lives with them, he gets a disability check.
So a man and woman with 2 kids is pulling down between 3,000 and 4,000 per month, get free health care, and if they get lucky, the live in subsidized housing and pay 15 or 20 bucks a month in rent.Poor things..... If that's not enough to buy all the food they need, they can go to literally dozens of church operated food banks. Now granted, they can only hit them up once a month, but they quickly learn to hit up the Baptists one week, the Methodists the next week, the Presbyterians the third week, and so on..
Then you get to stand behind them in line at Kroger and watch as your tax dollars pay for 20 pounds of steaks, chips, candy, etc
You should be so lucky to be able to suffer like that...

I dunno, Larry.
If what you say is true, I think I'll change to a democrat. It's like retiring at age 18 or 21. AND you get to live a long life because no stress from the complicated things in life.Ride my motorcycle. Panhandle for beer money. Take a shower maybe.
What's not to like, it's utopia!

MacKenzie Scott’s huge donations to many little-known arts organizations!
… totaled $2.8 billion and went to nearly 300 recipients across the country, many of them arts and cultural organizations serving communities of color, as well as two- and four-year colleges and universities. Particularly impressive is the range of arts groups and their geographic spread, from nationally known New York-based institutions like Apollo Theater and Jazz at Lincoln Center to regional entities such as Ashé Cultural Arts Center in New Orleans and Boston’s Theater Offensive, dedicated to queer and trans art.
The donations are astonishing, and not only because millions of dollars flew into bank accounts seemingly unrestricted, with no strings attached. “We encouraged them to spend it however they choose,” Scott wrote in a blog post about the gifts. Given the experience of the groups she selected, she’s left it to them to “know best how to put the money to good use.”

What a shame. She could have fed every hungry child in America for the next ten years with that money, but instead she chose to give it to wealthy arts organizations so they could all hobnob together at social events and tip their champagne glasses to her and talk about the "little people" that will benefit from next week's gallery of queer art.
So Ax.. You never answered my question - are you still proud of Biden?

lol. Yep, pretty much. Ms Scott is in the business of becoming a pop culture darling. I wonder if she was invited to Obama's birthday party?
