TIL that super-rich people love Wyoming. In some counties, the top 1% are richer than the top 1% in New York or California. If you want to meet someone wealthy, go to Wyoming

I’m not a fan of nukes.
I say we get about 1,000 people, some bulldozers, and then squish everything into one big pile in the middle. That should be enough, but we can always run over it a few times with a steamroller for good measure.
Call it “Mt. Capitalism” or maybe “Mt. Inheritance” and leave it as a warning.
There are in Jackson, but only during tourist season.
As a note, you’ll often see or hear it called Jackson Hole, that’s the valley just south of the city of Jackson.
An incredibly beautiful area. Used to go there as a kid 30+ years ago. It was a relative backwater, not super popular except as a stop for people visiting the Tetons.
Full of hundred-millionaires now. Like all the spaces taken over in Montana by the wealthy, or the mountain towns in Colorado like Aspen and Breckenridge. Commoners can fuck off.

It’s not as exotic a status as it once was. About ten percent of America is composed of millionaires.

Inflation, ballooning home values and a decades-long push into stock markets by average investors have lifted millions into millionairehood. A June report from Swiss bank UBS found about one-tenth of American adults are members of the seven-digit club, with 1,000 freshly minted millionaires added daily last year.

The number of millionaires in the United States is soaring. A report from Swiss bank UBS finds about 1 in 10 American adults now has a net worth of at least $1 million, with 1,000 new millionaires added every day last year. That milestone, once reserved for celebrities and CEOs, is increasingly being reached by everyday Americans, thanks to rising home values, stock market gains and decades of retirement savings. With inflation, a million bucks no longer stretches as far as it once did, and many millionaires' wealth is tied up in houses and 401(k)s. But seven-figure status still holds symbolic weight. As one man who hit the mark put it, “It’s not a golden ticket like it was in the past" but it buys “peace of mind.”
Hmmm. Maybe it turned into a tax haven … like neighboring state South Dakota, mome of Kristi Noem.
Or maybe it’s: no state income tax. Or a maximum property tax of 2% (city + county). No capital gains, estate, or gift taxes.
Or maybe the 77% Republicans. Or the death penalty.
