Duh. I've always hated that phrase. Technically, it's correct as even rich people are miserable. However, it's a lot easier to be happy when you're not worried about bills, a 9 to 5 job, where your next meal is coming from, you have beautiful women/men wanting to sleep with you, you can afford to do anything, you can go to ________ on a whim, and so on.

Doge is up to .058 and Elon is still pushing it.

I'm up $30 and trying to figure out which island I'll buy.

Kevin O'Leary thinks the government should stop giving out free money.

He's probably right, but I will spend it if I get it.

I agree it should be more targeted than "everyone under $x"

Pretty much every free money program by the government is severely broken and riddled with fraud. This is just another.

And if I'm following this all correctly, the $3k per kid would be a separate check.

That's a LOT of cocaine and hookers!

Costco raises their minimum wage to $16/hour.

That's a pretty big fuck you to everyone else, especially considering Biden's proposed minimum wage increase is now being fought by members of his own party.

If there's an argument that there's "too much" money in the markets, this + crypto are it.

Eviction moratorium loses in court.

A judge Trump appointed ruled it unconstitutional and it was a Trump policy that Biden extended.

Senate Parliamentarian rules minimum wage increase has to come out of covid bill.

Another loss for Biden as he knows a standalone bill won't get through the Senate, but a win for the covid bill as Rs and Ds against the minimum wage can now vote for covid relief.
