I was on a tour in Hawaii and saw a big island in the distance. I asked the driver who lived there. He said Larry Ellison owned the whole island. My first thought was, that man needs a tax cut.

I'd also like to add that poverty is a mitigating factor in addiction. I can't afford to get as drunk/blasted as I'd like. I have to pay rent and go to work tomorrow.
Same. Who has the time or money to get high when you have little time and even less money? It all comes down to impoverish people not being trusted and seen as criminals. Poverty is seen as a moral failing instead of a systemic failure. I’m on board with ‘eat the rich’ at this point.
I keep thinking about "Foxcatcher," which is such an amazing study in how this sick dynamic works... Vast wealth and the behavior it provokes in others actually makes things WORSE when you're an addict or mentally ill (or both). And DuPont "only" had $50 Million.
He seems unwell and like he doesn’t know what’s good for himself or he and other power addicts would go to therapy and rehab. It makes sense as many people with addiction and unprocessed trauma don’t choose to get help on their own. That’s why there are interventions and 5150s. Rehab the rich!
Eh, Mars is essentially permanent at this point, until we have some significant improvements in tech (or we rebuild a good part of the industrial base of Earth on Mars)
Tesla's board won't have it, they likely do retain a former licensed and board regulated therapist turned licensure and regulation free "coach" to encourage his "high functioning special genius" at 10-20x the rate of conventional therapy, on Tesla's dime.
How is it possible that Americans continue to tolerate this drug addled sociopath & his completely illegitimate DOGE 🐂💩. He should be fired & removed immediately. Do Republicans have the cojones to push for it? ( of course they don’t)

regardless of $ and therapy..
Q: How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Just takes one... But the lightbulb has to really want to change.
He's actually too rich to ever reach bottom and give in to therapy
Of course, he'd have to ask his mommy for permission.
They only say that about poor people.
No one sees a rich person walking down the street and says, "They're an addict." That's said about those sleeping on the street.
Addiction is only a crime when the addict is poor.
