I investigate fraud and make myself chuckle. I buy a lot of books that I have no time to read.

Some things I’ve learned/am learning:

• Only you can complete you.
• Let people enjoy things.
• Kindness is imperative.
• Actions > words.
• Stop, look, & listen.
• Love others. You’ll grow.

Hey there, Fediverse!
Long time, no see. What did I miss?

Went to the funeral of a WWII veteran today. A heavy machine-gunner in the 100th Infantry Division, he helped retake France in 1944. Purple Heart. Two bronze service stars. His division liberated over 100 French villages & towns, never once retreating. Legit war hero.

He was 98.

And he was Jewish.

And he was my father-in-law.

Billionaires lost $1.9 trillion in 2022.

Elon Musk lost $115 billion.

Jeff Bezos lost $80 billion.

Mark Zuckerberg lost $78 billion.

None of this has any real consequence on their daily lives.

Hoarding wealth like this is grotesque.
