If you had a net worth of $61.8 billion with a b

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Like Bloomie had, what would you spend some of it in to defeat trump?

I'd spent 10 on defeating trump.

I would go down to the border and build free decent housing for immigrants.

I would give every precinct in America anti-tampering software for election.

I would start my own cable network...with one thing only...constant loop of Trump's malfeasance. I would also have a ticker on scroll - # days since last proper press conference where people could hear the questions. And # of days since last press briefing.

1. well if I had 60B and spent 50B to defeat trump

I's still have 10B left.
I think I could live on that.

[wryter2000]

2. I'd spend whatever it took

I could survive on a mere one billion

7. Lol

[Recursion]

3. He has his own cable news network doesn't he? (nt)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. Yes. Funny, years ago, working in bank and my

friend who worked in Investments heard about Bloomberg's software for traders and pitched it to the bank and installed it. Bloomberg was a trader and saw the need for traders to have more information technology. The rest is history.

4. i'd spend $60 billion beating both Trump and the GOP

at the federal and state level.

every governorship, every state attorney general, every states secretary of state,every representative, every senator....

5. It's obscene anyone to have that much money n/t

[LakeArenal]

6. I kinda agree with you.

Alas, our opinion means naught.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. Guess it's easier to become uber rich w/ new technology ideas

Read once to retire in comfort, with a vacation home and ability to travel a lot, you needed $5-8 million saved up. If you want that kind of life that is) Of course Bloomberg's wealth is not all liquid. Hard to imagine though not turning much of that into doing something good for society. Celebrities too. Does Beyonce need so many mansions?

[progressoid]

12. Beyonce is worth a mere 400 million.

That's a drop in the bucket for Bloomberg.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. That's true. Still think they could take millions and do

Something to tangible for community.

[gratuitous]

8. Yes, it is

And in order to amass that kind of money, a person will have a seriously lop-sided personality, which is why folks like Bloomberg don't think the way we do.

9. Defeating Trump has to be our priority

Only then will we able to address everything else that needs attention. Bloomberg spent to help us turn the House blue and lots of work is being done there but it gets shit-canned when sent to the Senate. Mitch McConnell is coordinating with the White House. Alone all senators are vulnerable. The one threatening to put their heads on pikes is Trump and he is constantly and publicly shaming whoever breaks rank.
Bloomberg is a good guy and is willing to use his self-made fortune to rid us of Trump and break the bonds with Putin.

14. Buy FOX News and stop the destruction of this country.

[sarcasmo]

15. Buy Fox News. Buy Trump's debt and call it in. Sink a billion into winnable Senate races.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Best idea yet. And publish the paper so we can see

What Russian's cosigned

[Progressive Law]

16. $61.8 billion "net worth" ≠ $68.1 billion ready to spend
