How about we put it to the test; everyone pitch in enough money to make me the richest man in the world and I will meet with JD Vance and we can compare which of us is happier.

I'm in for $1.

Who's next?

Wait, how many dollars to become the richest man in the world?!

Sorry, I'm out.

I did the math: if everyone on earth (~8 billion) gave me $50 I would approximately have the same net worth as Elon Musk. ($412.9 billion)

And it would be liquid rather than in stocks and other financial institutions. This could work!

Ok, where can I send my $2? I'll just assume Bill Gates will take up my missing $48.

Definitely sadder to be the richest man in the world. VP is famously a job where often you don't have anything much to do

yes but you're supposed to have a few shreds of dignity left. (which is less of an expectation with being rich.)

If we take it back to 1901, I'd certainly expect it more of TR than of John D. Rockefeller

I'm loving the discoveries of all the voting anomalies in the swing states and NY cropping up! The end is near whatever form it takes will be interesting to see.
