  3. @inthehands Let's look at who, besides the media, is demanding Biden drop out or funding gets cut off: Wealthy Democrats. They must know at this point replacing Biden would just be handing the keys to the White House to Trump. Why are they doing this? I'm gonna venture they really like those "big beautiful tax cuts" Trump gave them. Right #ReedHastings, #DamonLindelof and #AbigailDisney?

    This point was reiterated by #AbigailDisney, in a brave piece on what it's like to grow up subject to the oversight of these millionaires who babysit the children of billionaires:

    This is an important contribution to the literature. We naturally focus on the ultrawealthy individuals whose reputations and fortunes are the subject of so much attention, but without the TUSNs, they would be largely helpless.

    This is completely believable and consistent with the extraordinarily frank account of how elite money-management works that #AbigailDisney described in 2021, where the ultra-rich are insulated from the scams, tricks and wheezes that lawyers and accountants dream up to keep their fortunes steadily mounting with no action needed on their part:

    Gone is the culture of "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations," where "the first generation makes it, the second generation spends it, and the third generation loses it."

    Instead - as #AbigailDisney has described, in a rare glimpse behind the scenes of American oligarchs' "family offices," American wealth is now *dynastic*, perpetuating itself and growing thanks to a whole Versailles' worth of courtiers.
