@elonpchat When #Texas #Billionaires, like #MitchMcConnells #SisterNLaw, get drunk and drive their #Tesla into their #PrivateLake on their ranch and can't escape because #TouchScreens don't work underwater. They really are #OutOfTouch

@sharongascoigne Nor me until I opened Spotify home page. #outoftouch
Not gonna quote the entire article, only the initial question.
How do you know if you have enough? My wife and I are both in our mid-50s and thinking about retirement around 60. We have $1.6 million in super, and around $1 million in other investments. We own our house and have no debt. We think we’d need about $80,000 to $100,000 a year, depending on how much travel we do. Our money has to last a long time, so how do we know if/when we can safely retire?
The smug gall of these creep-peeps! I hope they get wiped out by a sudden unexpected localised black hole.

#Trump rejected any notion of empty store shelves or increased #prices, but still maintained that #consumers may be affected.
“I’m just saying they don’t need to have 30 dolls. They can have 3,” he repeated on NBC. “They don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have 5.” [wtf?]
He also focused on certain aspects of the #economy—including #energy prices—& was dismissive of cost increases in other sectors.

…#Trump was criticized last week for suggesting…#consumers would see price increases & may have to do more w/less, making the striking comment that “children will have 2 dolls instead of 30 dolls.”
In the NBC interview he said, “I don’t think that a beautiful baby girl needs—that’s 11 yrs old—needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have 3 dolls or 4 dolls because what we were doing w/China was just unbelievable. We had a trade deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars w/China.”
This is a man who has never fed himself.
He’s been weird about this for months.
#Trump: "I inherited a groceries situation. The groceries went way up. An old fashioned word, but it's a very descriptive word."
What is he talking about?
They are literally called #grocery stores, everyone who doesn’t have butlers, maids, & chefs uses the word #groceries.
I just published a blog essay, Games Billionaires Play, responding to Howard Lutnick's recent callous mulling about stopping Social Security payments to see who makes noise.
I make some counter-proposals about other games we could play.

@VeroniqueB99 Not all are so explosive. I'm particularly fond of the #OutOfTouch #DrunkenBillionairess fatalities. When they drive their Tesla into their private lake and drown trying to push the #TouchScreen which does not function underwater. #MitchMcConnell's #SisterInLaw
Shows how #OutOfTouch #PP #PierrePoilievre is, running his #muted response to #tariffs at the same time as #fordnation. #CPC, you're not the adult in the room. I'm sure he has another #dumb #VerbTheNoun #remix.... #cdnpoli #canpoli #onpoli

@Sable_Shade I killed off my #12thReincarnation on #Xhitter. I keep my #13thInstantiation just because it's #13 and I like to see what #ElmosFlushFlap has been doing. I love it when #OutOfTouch #Billionaires get drunk on their private ranches in #Texas, drive their #Tesla into their #PrivateLake, can't escape and drown because their #TouchScreen is #Underwater--truly #OutOfTouch

@witewulf What else does CRT stand for? #outoftouch
I've been waiting for weeks to be able to watch #OutOfTouch at #zdfmediathek. After the first 1.5 episodes it feels somehow disappointing.

'One #Conservative source has told the #BBC it just did not occur to anyone at the top of the campaign that it would be a problem, especially with the #G7 summit in Italy next week where the prime minister will see all the same leaders.'
