We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Hmmm. Maybe it turned into a tax haven ... like neighboring state South Dakota, mome of Kristi Noem.
Or maybe it's: no state income tax. Or a maximum property tax of 2% (city + county). No capital gains, estate, or gift taxes.
Or maybe the 77% Republicans. Or the death penalty.
Just stay out of idaho
You won't meet them there. They have a house, register it as their home state for tax reasons, the travel to states they actually want to be in. They may take a 2-week summer vacation to the house, but it's not like there are millionaire communes where everyone at the local coffee shop is ultra wealthy.
There are in Jackson, but only during tourist season.
As a note, you'll often see or hear it called Jackson Hole, that's the valley just south of the city of Jackson.
An incredibly beautiful area. Used to go there as a kid 30+ years ago. It was a relative backwater, not super popular except as a stop for people visiting the Tetons.
Full of hundred-millionaires now. Like all the spaces taken over in Montana by the wealthy, or the mountain towns in Colorado like Aspen and Breckenridge. Commoners can fuck off.
So they're all in one place?
The wealthy? Not sure what you’re alluding to, but you’d have to add a lot of other places to the list the wealthy have priced normal people out of. Everything from Texas ranches to the castles on Long Island.
millionaire communes
It's not as exotic a status as it once was. About ten percent of America is composed of millionaires.
Inflation, ballooning home values and a decades-long push into stock markets by average investors have lifted millions into millionairehood. A June report from Swiss bank UBS found about one-tenth of American adults are members of the seven-digit club, with 1,000 freshly minted millionaires added daily last year.
Country clubs.
I'd love to "meet" them! 🔫🤠
😂😂🤣
I don't want to meet any more wealthy people, and I certainly do not want to go to Wyoming.
It's a super beautiful state, though
I'd love to do one of those things, guess which
As usual to the detriment of local population.
Sounds like if we nuke Jackson Hole during the big vacation season, we could solve a lot of America's problems.
I'm not a fan of nukes.
I say we get about 1,000 people, some bulldozers, and then squish everything into one big pile in the middle. That should be enough, but we can always run over it a few times with a steamroller for good measure.
Call it "Mt. Capitalism" or maybe "Mt. Inheritance" and leave it as a warning.
Residents of Northwest Arkansas: "First time?"
My parents used to live in Fayetteville, the house they sold 13 years ago for $250k is currently worth $750k and the houses on either side have been bulldozed into combined lots for mini-mansions. It’s nuts out there.
Invite them to a Hunting Trip... Dick Cheney style
I have it on good authority that it was actually a 20 (maybe less!) yo hooker that shot his buddy. Cheney took the fall cause he knew he'd get away with it and didn't want the bad press (seems like overkill now but...). Friend used the same guide service.
Well yeah, you can pay very cheaply for people to keep the poors in line
