There's a ton of right wing sites that would tell you eliminating the cap is a complete waste of time horrible for the economy, bringer of the end of days, etc.

Bezos, like many ultra wealthy, most likely paid himself some token amount in wages. Many CEO's used to pay themselves $1, just to say they had an income. They have accountants that decide how much he should claim as wages, just to maximize the returns from Social Security, without paying into it any more than needed.

Removing the cap would go a long way, but it's not enough by itself. We'll still need more people, or a time machine with a fertility clinic in it. From what I can tell, boomers seem to be thinking we're going to find that time machine somehow.

For the most part, the left would absolutely have someone executed for treason. The left is loyal to ideals, not people. It wouldn't matter if it were Biden or Trump.

The authoririan left, who might have a problem if it were 'their guy' don't have any loyalty to Biden, because he's not a communist or populist leader.

DeSantia new guard is intentionally selected to be ready to act against liberal cities. He's creating the blue print for modern gestapo.

Primaries are the place for protest votes. You want to send a message, send it now in the primary.

Come general election, it's time to shut up and protect the country.

He only has to put up the money if he wants to pause judgement during the appeal. He's going to refuse to pay until the appeal fails, then appeal it again, daring the AG to seize his companies.

Already moved on to a boat, I'll either be staging to leave, or already out of the country, when the election is decided. Depending on the results I'll be back in the spring, or not.

She can't pardon the state crimes. That would take a governor.

That's all this is really, the prison lobby getting their slaves back.

Pretty sure it's a campaign message. Throw lots of 'oh look Taylor is destroying the environment with her jet' noise around the interwebs to try and discredit her voice against Trump. It's a PR campaign designed by toddlers.

I love Nic for making movies I'd love to actually see, except for the fact that he's in them.
