That vaccines save lives is provable. Where is the data to support getting rid of them? Does this clown believe he's helping anyone?

The rich also think they don't need people anymore.
AI and robots will do their work for them.

The rich believe all the money in the world belongs to them.

And shopping at Costco. Remember Trump has people doing several jobs in his administration. There is not an unlimited supply of MAGA executives. They are a finite bunch.

So sorry the rich are scared.
They have so much money to protect and defend themselves.
And they can lose a great deal of money and still be fine.
Hard to feel sorry for them.

you mean multi millionaires. I meant anybody who can afford two residences. I did not want you to feel sorry for them anymore than you would for anyone scared of MAGA. Yes they have a buffer.

Some older people have two small residences.
One in warm weather, one back home.
Or a small cabin.

This does not mean they are rich.

It is time for rich to use their money for good.
