Now I Just Have To Go Read The Other Four

5 Investment Books That Taught Me More Than an MBA (says a guy with 573,000 Instagram followers).

And in other news . . .

I spent an hour yesterday texting with a billionaire who holds Harvard Law and Harvard Business degrees and is an idiot.  (I say this with a mix of affection and frustration, as we’ve been friends for more than half a century.)

He calls Trump, with whom he used to golf, “dishonest” and a “monster,” so he’s not going to vote for him.

But he’s not going to vote for Kamala either.

He’s “sitting this one out.”

What???   

“You want socialism?” he asks.

Well, we already have socialism, I tell him, and have had it all his life.  Public schools, public roads, the social safety net.  So it’s not as though extending $35 insulin to all who need it, not just seniors . . . and providing first-time-buyer assistance to promote private homeownership and $50,000 tax incentives to promote small-business start-ups . . . would suddenly push us over the cliff from capitalism to socialism.

“You want open borders and 13,000 convicted murderers RELEASED into the USA?” he asks.

Leave aside that it is Trump who killed the bipartisan bill that would finally have resolved the border crisis . . . so it is solely Trump who is responsible for it now.

Here’s the real story on those 13,000 murderers she has allowed to roam our streets:

> First, “the vast majority” (to quote ICE) arrived in the decades before Harris was Vice President — some of them when Trump was President.

> Second, most of them are not roaming the streets — they’re in prison.  See the difference?

(These two  stories provide the facts.)

But like all those Haitians terrorizing Springfield as they feast on dogs and cats, Trump cultists — and even idiots like my friend — don’t care.  They spread this stuff anyway.

He absolutely does not want Trump re-elected (and could easily afford to throw five or ten million dollars at the problem); yet won’t do the one most minimal thing he could do to help prevent it.  Vote.

Which makes our work that much harder.

Here’s how to volunteer locally.
