When George Washington died, his estate—mostly land and assets—was valued at roughly $594 million in today’s dollars. His presidential salary was $25,000 a year, equivalent to around $800,000–900,000 today, and at that time made up about 2% of the entire federal budget.

The Senate is voting on this bill THIS week. In a closed door meeting with senators yesterday, Mitch McConnell said, "I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they'll get over it."

Also, during the closed door meeting, he reportedly said "failure isn't an option" when he replied to concerns about passing the spending cuts. CALL THEM CALL THEM CALL THEM. Relentlessly.

I just made another round of calls to my senators, as well as these 4 Republican Senators who are balking at the cuts to Medicaid. They'e our BEST shot at getting this budget (that guts Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, housing assistance, and gives the executive branch the power to IGNORE COURT RULINGS) stopped.

Josh Hawley (MO): 202-224-6154

Lisa Murkowski (AK): (202)-224-6665

Susan Collins (ME): (202) 224-2523

Jerry Moran (KS): (202) 224-6521

Everyone should call them (with Collins and Murkowski, especially, they voted no in 2017 to Trump's plan to gut the ACA. Remind them how they and the late great John McCain did the right thing in 2017 and protected the healthcare of millions of Americans, and not to let Trump bully them into harming the American people), as well as your two Senators. ESPECIALLY if you live in or know anyone that lives in one of those four states, it's ULTRA important that they call.

financial knowledge for the girlies 🤍🍓💸

Develop a budget: Creating and sticking to a budget can help you better understand your income and expenses, and learn how to prioritize your spending.

Save regularly: Saving money is crucial for achieving financial stability. You can set up automatic transfers to a savings account so you won't be tempted to spend the money.

Pay off debt: High-interest debt can hinder your financial progress. Make a plan to pay off your debts and focus on high-interest debts first.

Invest wisely: Investing can help your money grow over time. Look for low-cost index funds, which can give you broad exposure to the market at a low cost.

Understand compound interest: Compound interest is the interest you earn on interest. By investing consistently, the power of compound interest can help you build wealth over time.

Research before making big financial decisions: Before making a major decision, such as buying a house or car, research different options and weigh the costs and benefits.

Learn from your mistakes: Every failure or setback can teach you something valuable. Use these experiences to inform your future financial decisions.

Get professional advice: Seek advice from a financial advisor if you're unsure about your financial decisions. They can provide guidance on investments, retirement planning, and tax strategies.

Be aware of scams: Scammers can take advantage of financial illiteracy. Be cautious when someone offers an investment that's too good to be true.

Continuous learning: Financial knowledge is constantly changing, so stay informed by regularly reading financial news, books, and attending classes or webinars.

What I don't get is why news outlets and Netflix are trying to convince us that arcane was expensive to make. 250 million usd for both seasons they said, and obviously that's a lot of money, but they make the mistake of comparing it to big budget movies like Tangled. So you're telling me that I got an animated masterpiece that combines multiple different art styles fantastic voice acting and creative and passionate writing, that's 6-7 hours LONGER than major animated movies, and its the same fucking price?? And you're expecting me to agree with the corporations outlook, that it's too expensive? Yes, tangled is considered one of the most expensive animated movies, but arcane is like FOUR Tangleds. Many other 3D animated movies fall within the 160 million mark, but again, they're hours shorter than arcane was. I think the prices are comparable. I believe in saw someone (on reddit maybe?) divide the cost down to minutes of screen time for each show or movie and it becomes really obvious. I'm also pretty sure that many of these movie budgets do not include marketing in their overall expenses; arcane does.

This isnt even bringing live action tv shows into the equation; i dont think arcane even touches like the top thirty of those. And yet it's framed as such an expense!! Bitch its an incredibly successful tv show!! Ik Netflix is cheap as shit and has its own reputation to grapple with, but is the disdain for animation so much? Is it disdain for female lead action, for poc representation, for LGBT rep on screen? For the animation medium as a whole? I know the answer of course. But it's still very upsetting to acknowledge and think about.

Separately, arcane is absolutely crushing it. Ik act three is going to knock it out of the ballpark. Keep crushing corporate execs expectations please.
