      I laughed at first, but then I was kind of sad.

      But I did laugh, and I needed a laugh. Thank you.

      Unless they inherited it and are actively in the process of philanthropy to get rid of it, anyone with more than a few million dollars in their pocket has almost certainly exploited people to get it. Never trust them. They are not good people, by definition.

      Carney’s not that rich now. He has a long way to go before joining the 9-figure club. Assuming Brookfield’s BGTF I does well, he will be much richer when the fund matures in the 2030’s. Who knows, maybe he’ll join that club then. The fact that we don’t have any idea how much richer he could be made by that fund is kind of nuts to me, but for now he’s still a long, long way off of nine figures and is only around 1% of the way to being a billionaire.

        It’s hard to believe it’s as low as that but then I should’ve hesitated more to believe the much higher estimate from the first website I saw making a guess. If he’s done better in life than I had thought, my apologies for repeating such slander.

    The Capitalist bourgeoisie never wanted democracy; they just wanted to be monarchs themselves and the promise of democracy was the most practical way to manufacture consent among the working class.

    Never heard of this site and I can’t seem to find an RSS feed. Anyone know if they have one?
