Bill started out as a 98 lb nerd and turned into an old woman. Melinda started out as a geeky girl and turned into a butch man.
Seriously, look up some pictures of young Bill, back the early '80s. He is the prototypical nerd right out of central casting.
I wonder who is going to get their $125M lakeside estate near Seattle? It's 66K ft^2 including a 30 car garage. Construction royally pissed off the neighbors and, to smooth things over, Bill offered his construction crews to the neighbors for free to help out with little projects they needed.

Probably Gates, too, though he may have a better prenup.

Bezos net worth doubled in 2020, thanks to the 'Rona (this was the trend with most of the oligarchs).
From what I gather, the ex-wife got about $38B in the divorce. Dr. Evil kept 75% of the loot. So the ex took a quarter, not half his shit. And he doubled that 3/4 during the 'Rona.

Bingo. The plandemic increased the wealth of the oligarchs by $7T. Everyone else's wealth declined by a couple trillion, IIRC.
Another interesting thing: all the charitable giving the oligarchs do? When you look, turns out that actuall results in their own wealth and power increasing. So they're "charity" just seems to buy them more power and control.

This isn't really the same thing, but a few years ago there were hours and hours of TV and radio airwaves used up so that local and state (and SC), and probably a few national agencies could talk about how awesome Cam Newton was because he had spent $40K or so to provide Thanksgiving meals to a chain of homeless shelters in Charlotte. Hours and hours of reporting.
$40K to Cam Newton at the time was similar to a middle class couple making $60K or so putting $12 in the offering plate once, and only one time a year.

Oh heck no, but I have to wonder why there's suddenly this "acceptance" thing like this is a valid scientific discovery. They're softening it for somebody (at least I assume), but we also know they're getting over even pretending. We're so overwhelmed people can't even catch their breath to react any longer. From what I can guess, they're getting out in front of this before it becomes a thing.

I'm positive I read a long article about Billy-boy's pre-nup before they got married. I simply can't believe that one of his dozens of lawyers/accountants (he has no friends) didn't have a long sit-down chat with him. Ok, I can see that the 40 year old virgin guy just KNEW this was love and it would last forever, but he's also a dick first and foremost.
I'll believe it when he's sobbing in the courtroom. More likely, the town she's residing in has a terrible gas leak and vaporizes.

Rome is a weird case when you think about the psychology of the ancient world. The city went almost...600-700 without a foreign invader stepping foot inside the walls. That is remarkable in antiquity. It would have a tendency to create a certain mindset (a bad one- not unlike what we have.) When the barbarians came in and sacked the city, it shattered them in a way they did not know how to deal with because most of the citizens acted like dole queens.

They did call it the Eternal City, and I think they believed it, too. I've got a copy of 'De Reditu Suo' by Rutilius Claudius Namatianus, written in about 415 (still 50 years from the final downfall of Rome). He's deserting the city, going back to his family estates in Gaul, and describing how the harbours are silted up, and the roads are impassable. Yet he still believes that this is just a temporary setback, and Rome will bounce back, because it always has before.

Daily Mail says that in Melinda's filing, there is only mention of a "separation contract", which it seems both Bill and Melinda have signed -- that will include the details of how all the money and assets will be split up. She has requested a trial date for April 2022, but they say most likely it will be settled before then, without a trial.
And there was something in there which Melinda had said Bill did before they got married. He said, there are two possibilities, either we break up or we get married. He then got a whiteboard and made a pro and con list of getting married.

They've been playing with the numbers. For a long time. If the CPI were calculated the way it was before 1980, inflation would be a little over 10% now. They changed it again in 1990 or thereabouts. CPI inflation would be about 6% the pre-90 method.
Look up "Shadow Stats", a website that tries to give you the "real numbers". It was started by a guy who used to economic forecasting for some big outfit, airline I think it was.
He had a model that worked really well, then it went to hell. He figured out that the govt figures were being fudged and that was the problem. He figured out how to unadjust and get the real figures back. And soon that didn't work anymore.
Basically, the federal govt has been lying about the economic numbers for 40 years, and have been really lying for about 20-30.

The main reason for fudging the CPI was Social Security COLAs. They wanted to basically cut SS growth, and the easiest way to do that was just to lie about inflation.
That becomes the official numbers -- and they then get high on their own supply.
And GDP gets overestimated. Bad numbers are deflated and good numbers are inflated.

In principle, yes. However the way it works is the price up front is much higher. Bonds, and coupons and yields are a bit complex -- a little high powered 'rithmetic is involved. But here's a simple example.
I offer you a bond for $100. That's the principle. Make it 2 year maturity. I'll pay you back the face value in 2 years. No, I agree to pay you a coupon rate, some interest payment every year.
Suppose that's 1%. I'll pay you $1 at the end of year 1, and then $101 at the end of year two.
Now, with negative yields, you pay me $105 for that bond. You get $102 back. You lose money, but still with positive coupon payments.
That's how negative yields work.

That may have been the main reason, but another reason was that the Treasury started selling bonds that would compensate for inflation. A more blatant conflict of interest is hard to find.

So IOW I think the Romans just thought they were invincible, like many do today, and got lazy.

Are you asking why buy debt in general or why buy debt with negative yields? If the latter, good question. But the T market is booming and people are happily accepting negative real yields on their money.
The real reason is the Fed's printing press, which is keeping those yield down by buying enough of themselves to keep the price high (yields low).
But why would anyone else accept that? Fear is the usual explanation. You happily let Uncle Sam keep you money, even though your losing, 'cause you're afraid of losing even more in other areas.

Another complication is that debt is marketable. Ts can be bough and sold on the open market. Say you're holding a bunch of Ts. You can sell them at any time (if you can find a buyer, of course).
This can change the equation of how much money you make or lose in complex ways. Suppose Uncle Sam sells a bunch of debt one day at 1% interest. He gets the money, and he's locked that 1% in.
Now, say interest rates go up next year. 2% say. The value of your Ts now goes down. If you sell them now, you've lost a shit ton.
Now suppose interest rates go down over that year. Say from 1% to 0.5%. Your bonds are now worth a lot more on the open market. You can sell and make quite a profit.
Note that doesn't affect the issuer of the debt/bond in any way. He's already locked in the 1%.
The holders can buy and sell (and short and all that) all they want, and make or lose at all kinds of rates depending on what the market does.

The fear is that any other investment wouldn't do better. Banks carry risk of failure, and may charge negative interest rates (charging you for holding your money), while cash has costs associated with storing and safeguarding it, as well as the risks of inflation. So basically losing $2-3 is better than losing $4-5 or more in other investments or simply due to sitting on it.

An expanding economy REQUIRES that more money be created "out of thin air", or bad things will happen.
There are metric fucktons more goods and services on the market today than there were in 1921, dude. Not to mention 1821, 1721, or 1121. There's no way to move the amount of g&s that need to move in 2021 with the amount of money available in 1121.
The supply of money (which is just a symbolic marker, not a thing in and of itself) has to fluctuate.
That doesn't excuse manipulation, which is a different kettle of fish, but it does need to be able to fluctuate.
Look at some of the panics and crashes that occurred when the world was on the so-called "hard money" gold standard. Stuff that would make any modern crash look like a hiccup.
