Billionaire Mark Cuban had harsh words for progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren and her calls to tax the rich during an appearance at Vox Media’s Code Conference. Cuban, who has an estimated personal fortune of $4.6 billion, laid into Warren (D-Mass.) over her frequent calls for higher taxes on him, Elon Musk and
other wealthy Americans. The liberal lawmaker has long argued that billionaires don’t pay their fair share in taxes. “I don’t mind being taxed more. I wrote a blog 20 years ago saying it’s the most patriotic thing you can do, after military service, is pay your taxes, because...

If Elon's bid is rejected, I don't believe regulators will authorize other platforms to acquire Twitter. Elon's bid is the best chance of passing Reg. If it isn't accepted the shares will drop below $30/sh & the board will be sued by shareholders Nick Short @PoliticalShort · Apr 14, 2022 If
the board of directors at @Twitter reject the offer made by @elonmusk, then wouldn’t the board be acting in direct opposition to the financial interests of their shareholders? Elon Musk @elonmusk Absolutely. It would be utterly indefensible not to put this offer to a shareholder vote. They own...

The Mavs owner/entrepreneur just launched an online pharmacy that sounds too good to be true -- providing more than 100 common generic drugs ... practically at cost. In other words, the medications are significantly cheaper than most anywhere else on the marketplace.

A pair of new companies are being launched to tackle high drug costs, the latest sign of employer frustration with the middlemen, known as PBMs, whose job it is to keep down the spending. The

The firebrand Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has made a name for herself promoting the glories of socialism while conspicuously ignoring its downfalls. While
those with even a cursory understanding of world history over the last century often find it astounding that there is so much ignorance surrounding the way socialism has always — always — played out when applied to nations like Russia, Venezuela and Cuba, AOC’s base is not known for their economic savvy but rather that same, old, ancient human sin of covetousness that has led millions to believe the state can afford them...

In February, we reported that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had stopped playing the national anthem before his team’s games. This
has since come back to haunt Cuban, as Texas Republicans have fired back by hitting him right where it hurts – his wallet. Cuban never publicized not playing the national anthem. The news of what he was doing only broke at the time because other teams noticed on their own that “The Star Spangled Banner” never played. Cuban tried to defend himself at the time in a statement to NPR:

I kept pushing: “I’ve seen complaints about the costs of transactions. Even with Ethereum. Isn’t it still too high, for textbooks certainly, but even for other higher valued items?” Mr. Cuban answered, “It is too expensive. But that’s specific to original Ethereum.
