Not that great, Robert. <3

@rbreich Doing great! I “only” got charged $499 at the dentist last week (routine cleaning, x-rays, fluoride treatment). Medicare doesn’t think teeth are important so I cover my own expenses.
@rbreich
I got a 3% COLA, and now receive 1500+/- a month.

@rbreich I could retire after an hour.

I could retire with a capacity to gift a retirement fund to a random stranger every year after a day.

@rbreich at that rate, they'd equal Musk's wealth in only, what, 200 years or so. Assuming Musk doesn't get any richer in the next 250 years, anyway.
@rbreich MAGA morons and dumb right wingers everywhere in general always think someone offering to be the president of a country for "free" is a virtue, not at all a con.
@rbreich Hey, but he's about to award himself ten billion dollars via his frivolous IRS lawsuit. 4 bill is nothing.

@rbreich

It feels like they are like the main characters of the 'flix series "The Fall Of The House Of Usher."

That there was a deal made.

So now, my hope is: once the deal is over, their dynasty will fall, as happened in the series.

@rbreich says
“According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025
— mostly through shady crypto deals.
That amounts to $456,621 per hour.
But how are you doing?”
@rbreich You've been here, the whole time, telling us, so thank you. (Yes this is a reference to your own child)

@rbreich

Here comes the ASCII:

But how are you doing?

@rbreich

Honestly, that sounds a bit on the lower side. Are you sure about those numbers?

@rbreich started to answer but in truth it is "how are THEY doing?" and I try to help, be cheerful, say this will end... but I feel like a liar. They fled their homelands, left relatives behind, to come to the shining city on the hill, only to see more of what they fled.
@rbreich His supporters will only interpret that for him to be a smart business man and therefore an even better choice as POTUS because of course a government should be run like a business.
