Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

I self-published recently, so never got into booktok, and just started following #booksky today. Glad to have discovered it!

Although it makes you an easier target, sometimes you must stand up and stand out.

I’m seriously thinking of taking this (along with the other things I’m bringing, which I may leave hidden in the car) to Thanksgiving with friends. Think anyone will mind?

Does anyone know what plant/shrub this is? I discovered it while out walking and don’t recall seeing it before.
