I don't think he's particularly wealthy, but from what I've read she's got equally horrible opinions.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I consider a million dollars to be wealthy.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's bare minimum retirement money, bare minimum. $1M ain't even rich, let alone wealthy.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Having $1 million means you're wealthier than 95% of the world's population.

Having $1 million means you're wealthier than 95% of the world's population. Also it's "What I consider" to be wealthy.

What a stupid way to measure things. The CoL in Zimbabwe doesn't affect how easily you are able to live off your savings in the US.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not... Not even close

You're trying to debate what I consider wealthy with me? I think I'm much closer to knowing my opinion than you are.

But also; $1 million dollars is wealthier than 95% of the planet. So yeah, it's wealthy. In the top 5% if not higher.

You can't make direct comparisons like that countries vary greatly on cost of living and other factors.

A million ain't shit if you're living in NYC or Seattle or London...

Most of Asia? You're filthy rich.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I can. I'm doing it. It's my consideration.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If I had 1 mil today, I'd never work again. And I'm not young but I'm not that old either. These people think they need to live in NYC and have to buy a Ferrari and eat caviar daily.

1mil and I'd be done, and very comfortable. These people are crazy.

You're living comfortably off less than 40k a year (the most you can sustainably withdraw without risking the principle)?

If so, good for you.for figuring that out. If not, it's time to figure out how far money actually goes.

She's probably not any better. Stephen Miller is a sadistic, psychopathic ghoul.

[–] LMurch@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 months ago

He used to have hair, so a sadistic, psychopathic ghoul with hair.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

She met him on Halloween and didn't realize it was his normal look. Then she fell in love with the racist fuck's racism.

She looks just as idiotic as him so no surprise

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

And her loser ass left him for elons looser ass

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 2 months ago

Sounds like someone is attracted to losers.

[–] YesButActuallyMaybe@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That’s a feat! Imagine how someone can possibly attracted to scumbags like these. Not one but two

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Being a scumbag, isn't gender specific ..

Katie Miller allegedly instructed the head of the SSA to tell reporters that 40 percent of all calls placed to SSA phone lines were linked to fraudulent Social Security claims — a number the president and Musk plucked out of thin air as the White House and Musk’s DOGE effort set about making cuts to a wide range of federal agencies this year, the New York Times reported.

“The number is 40 percent,” Katie Miller reportedly told the acting SSA Administrator Leland Dudek in an April 1 call, the Times reported. “Do not contradict the president.”

“Mr. Musk’s team mobilized dozens of Social Security employees to affirm their views about fraud and began a project to ensure dead people were properly classified so they weren’t mistakenly paid — even though DOGE officials acknowledged in an internal memo that payments were not being made in those cases,” the Times wrote.

Truth doesn't have a fucking chance. Corporate News is still churning out scientific study headlines that show trump was lying in 2017.

“Do not contradict the president.”

Yeah, fuck you. This isn't a dictatorship.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yet another unelected bureaucrat.

Except, she isn't even that. Just someone married to an unelected bureaucrat.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait is she a woman of color married to a white nationalist? What the fuck.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

Her Wikipedia page does not list her race. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Miller

I was wrong in my previous statement, she has had positions of her own in this White House.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

That fucking ghoul has a wife!? ... surely she's also a ghoul, or increadibly stupid... or increadibly hateful ... or all of the above.

[–] dcpDarkMatter@kbin.earth 3 points 2 months ago

Yes to all three.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Indeed, Goebbels wife and her influence.

This bitch was an anti Treyvon Martin activist in college.
