Yeah 
Like, people prefer to trample on those assumedly “below” them … in German we call this “Radfahrermentalität” — bicyclist mentality: to bow upwards and kick downwards.
Like, (at least in Germany, and AFAIK) it’s mostly the poorer (= undereducated/underprivileged) people who vote for the extreme Right.
Had to think about this.
So … it’s often the poor, and the “middle class” who vote for the 4ssh0les (whoever they are) BUT it’s just as often—if not regularly—the case that said 4ssh0les are supported by the “money folks” … who sometimes even donate to competing parties in the hopes that they will remember if they win.
I’m not letting the “money folks” out of the noose just yet.
Eat the rich.
The poor aren’t innocent, though.

Kind of news which really don’t push me to visit USA.
Good idea. Many U.S. cities are incredibly dangerous now. I haven’t been in Washington in at least 10 years and hope I never need to again. I do miss the occasional art exhibition at the National Gallery, though.
We could all intervene and propose they play Go instead … they are going to last a lot longer in that activity and that’s for sure 
If it does happen however:
According to unofficial sources, Zuckerberg is 5-foot-7, 154 pounds while Musk is 6-foot-1, 180 pounds.
Everyone would bet on Elon winning, just for the reach and weight diffence. Ain’t no way this dude is 180 pounds. More like 230.
On the other hand Zuckerberg has been getting more active in sports as the years go by and they say he won a jiu-jitsu tournament, but let’s be real here … “of course he did”
The jokesters have already said that if they sell tickets and donate the proceeds to the government, we could significantly reduce the deficit.
Lots of posts here where this would fit, I think, as it combines a few topics that have come up (AI, refugees, rich people ) … but I thought this here might be just fine.

small broken and rusty ramshackle submarine with holes
… on this site:
Then I added the text:
ONCE IN A LIFETIME (!) OFFER for billionaires: VISIT THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA GRAVEYARD
ONLY $250000!
Slightly poor taste I feel given what just happened in the Atlantic this week.
I think it’s poor taste how 5 people going to see the titanic in an uncertified shady submarine get probably the most expensive rescue mission on sea to date, involving 60 ships, aircraft, submersible drones etc. that was doomed to fail before it even started, not even a week after around 500 people drowned in front of the coast of Greece after the coast guard basically caused the ship to capsize and then denied any blame.
I don’t mind a bit of irony.
Maybe I missed the joke. Sorry, I keep violating my rule that I shouldn’t post before my first coffee 
I have read the following replies but I feel the urgent need to say that I created this EXACTLY BECAUSE of what happened in the Atlantic this week … and putting it into the context of what happened—and what DIDN’T happen—in the Mediterranean last week.
My sympathy goes to those who grieve, of course, but hey …
So those snails can eat stucco walls and plastic … it sounds like a recycling miracle snail in a way, eh? 
Today is national elections (yes, again, long story).
TIL that we have this party https://ekloges.ypes.gr/current/v/home/parties/156/
Republican Party of Greece - TRAMP (in Greek the meaning doesn’t translate, only the pronunciation, fyi)
What does it stand for?
