I think there's a strong case for having maximum wealth above which you'll just get a 100% tax. All the billionaires are equal parts clearly miserable people, and also terrifying and psychopathic. I assume they didn't start o

The new Amtrak cars on Midwest and California service are made by Siemens. They are a huge downgrade in terms of customer comfort versus the old equipment. The seats are worse than a budget airline seat. This is in contrast to the old equ
