    Was just listening to an NPR story on this. You could really tell they were toeing the line of just saying “the stock market is bullshit and nothing in it means anything anymore” but not really having the nerve.

    The Trump Media conglomerate makes essentially no money. It really doesn’t. Sparse, very few ads. Maybe no subscription service. But it still is massively valued on the stock market basically because a bunch of chuds really like Trump and big investors see it as an easy way to “bet” on who will win the presidency.

    The whole thing is a giant spin on the roulette wheel. It’ll either crash and burn or Trump will win and it’ll probably soar into the air again.

          At least she is using a skill that touches people in a way that that clearly is special. If she wasn’t a beautiful and sexy woman, it probably wouldn’t work the same way. Still, she is the type of billionaire I don’t mind seeing created. They should be taxed so every billion is exponentially harder to acquire.
