Truth. My favorite Japanese restaurant in the States had a primarily South American immigrant staffed kitchen.

I have IBS and have always wondered how someone like me in India would even survive.

Soon to include the 'wrong' white people too!

I think people misunderstand your comment.

What I suspect you're saying is that if those in a disadvantageous position, likely having limited financial, social, and political capital, can acquire a fictitious, functional identity, then someone with the means to afford multiple yachts absolutely can do so.

Also want to add something I saw in the US: light olive oil. It advertised itself as olive oil with a lighter flavor. It was olive oil diluted with vegetable oil, yet sold at a premium.

Do you have a source where I could read more about this? I tried looking all of this up and the only articles I found contradict the original comment about taking loans to repay tariffs and that putting tariff revenue into a sovereign wealth fund was proposed but never happened.

Edit: further reading shows neither is factual.

Forgive me for not understanding as I'm not from the US, but what happened to the funds from the collected tariffs?

Truth. I can't recall a single US president that wasn't at least implicated of war crimes. Not one of them was held accountable in the slightest.

The US - where anything more than the gentlest of softball questions is hard hitting journalism.

They know. They approve because he's hurting the 'right people.'

It's not defending a rich person, it's a statement of fact pertinent to the conversation.

Musk has most of his net worth in volatile investments. The total value of those investments once exceeded $1tn, but have lost value and no longer exceed $1tn. Therefore, he is no longer a trillionaire.

No other implications were made. Stop tilting at windmills.

This is the second time this has happened. I delete all my old posts and comments using PowerDeleteSuite. I view my profile - everything selected is gone. A few months later, it's all back. I repeat the process, verifying it's all gone. I log in today, months later, and it's back. Simply maddening.

Is there anything I can do to make it stick?
