Something non-billionaires who don't know how they should vote might consider---

[Atticus]

Elon Musk IS a multi-billionaire.

He's announced he's voting Republican.

Do you think Mr. Musk's interests are the same as yours?

Are you concerned about paying your rent or mortgage, feeding and clothing your family or affording top-notch medical care? He isn't.

Have you received hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies from the US government? He has.

Do you understand that the Republican Party favors the interests of billionaires over the interests of ordinary non-billionare citizens? He does.

Vote for yourself. Vote Democratic.

2. One more question -

Are you a self-absorbed prick who doesn't give a damn about anyone else? He is.

4. As a youngster in the '50's and '60's one dream was to become

rich. In high school, my sophomore history teacher remarked that even if you tried, you couldn't spend a million dollars in a lifetime living normally. Mind you my raise from $1.25 an hour to $1.40 an hour reflected this. But on those wages, working three jobs, I managed to pay for a summer in Europe in 1968. Several weeks.
I quit my job in 1988 because my boss would not pay me the going rate for a VP/GM, $125k.
I went back into sales and made that much.
Recruited back into my field allowed me to salt away a few ducats, but I had difficulty with the corruption to make deals.
I retired a few years later with a specific bank account for insurance. That account dwindled more rapidly than anticipated.
Had to go back to work for health care. Taught high school for fifteen years until Medicare eligibility.
They don't pay well in education, but I got health care and saved a few souls.
In the meantime, we were real estate maggots.
Parlayed carpentry skills and derring do to add to the coffers.
Just sold our house for far more than we had hoped a few years earlier and now we would be classified as well off, almost rich.
I tell this tale because had I sold my soul, financial well being would have come sooner. I have always been rich. I am married to a doer as well.
Now that my bank account nears 7 figures and my assets exceed that, I have contemplated the experience my really rich friends ignore.
I don't like being rich.
We bought a condo and kept a mortgage. I want to be beholden. I do not want to lord.
I had a moment when I thought, I'm rich, I don't have to care. It dawned on me then, my Rubicon, to enjoy my declining years in wealth, why not, or realize that I could do without extravagance and still maintain happiness.
The awareness of my friends' decisions to choose the former, makes me more aware of the fragility of friendships longer than fifty years.
You protect your peace of mind.
I've thrown my lot with with saving the future from the past.
I'm beholden to fixing the mistakes where I can and planning better.
Had a real life episode tonight. Calling out the next generation. Not just on the page.
What else can you do?
