        I don’t think he’s particularly wealthy, but from what I’ve read she’s got equally horrible opinions.

          I consider a million dollars to be wealthy.

            That’s bare minimum retirement money, bare minimum. $1M ain’t even rich, let alone wealthy.

              Having $1 million means you’re wealthier than 95% of the world’s population.

              Having $1 million means you’re wealthier than 95% of the world’s population. Also it’s “What I consider” to be wealthy.

                What a stupid way to measure things. The CoL in Zimbabwe doesn’t affect how easily you are able to live off your savings in the US.

              You’re trying to debate what I consider wealthy with me? I think I’m much closer to knowing my opinion than you are.

              But also; $1 million dollars is wealthier than 95% of the planet. So yeah, it’s wealthy. In the top 5% if not higher.

                You can’t make direct comparisons like that countries vary greatly on cost of living and other factors.

                A million ain’t shit if you’re living in NYC or Seattle or London…

                Most of Asia? You’re filthy rich.

      She met him on Halloween and didn’t realize it was his normal look. Then she fell in love with the racist fuck’s racism.

    Katie Miller allegedly instructed the head of the SSA to tell reporters that 40 percent of all calls placed to SSA phone lines were linked to fraudulent Social Security claims — a number the president and Musk plucked out of thin air as the White House and Musk’s DOGE effort set about making cuts to a wide range of federal agencies this year, the New York Times reported.

    “The number is 40 percent,” Katie Miller reportedly told the acting SSA Administrator Leland Dudek in an April 1 call, the Times reported. “Do not contradict the president.”

    “Mr. Musk’s team mobilized dozens of Social Security employees to affirm their views about fraud and began a project to ensure dead people were properly classified so they weren’t mistakenly paid — even though DOGE officials acknowledged in an internal memo that payments were not being made in those cases,” the Times wrote.

    Truth doesn’t have a fucking chance. Corporate News is still churning out scientific study headlines that show trump was lying in 2017.

    Yet another unelected bureaucrat.

    Except, she isn’t even that. Just someone married to an unelected bureaucrat.
