Elon Musk wants to radically reshape who controls America’s money supply | CNN Business
  • You don't want a government in direct control of the money supply. There is a very high negative correlation between central bank independence and inflation. Countries without independent central banks have much higher inflation. In conclusion, Lee is a fucking idiot.

    the acquisition of gain (such as money) in dishonest or questionable ways

    A grift would be them getting the money illegally through something like a con. Graft is technically legal but clearly dishonest.

  • The university president gets an absurd income of over $1 million per year. Almost $1500/year of a student's tuition simply goes to paying the president. University of Washington's president (references because I went there) also makes over a million but the school also has 51k students so each student gives the president a $20 per year.

    The school also got hundreds of millions of government funds to revamp the school. DeSantis replaced the board with his friends, most of whom have no background in education. This whole thing is basically one giant graft.

  • That's a little under $10 where I am in Seattle. No tax on food here. If I feel like driving a little bit to Target, it's only $8. I definitely know of food deserts though. The town I grew up in only has Safeway and Walmart. The IGA closed down. Looking at prices, they are about the same as they are here which sucks because the incomes are nowhere near what they are here.

    I'm alright with a week of groceries for the four of us choosing $125/wk but I know that is difficult for some.
