But has enough "juice" for other people to listen to him, about a vast array of topics (climate change, malaria prevention, pandemics, vaccines). Something about being smart and richer than Croesus. So when he opines on air travel, people who make decisions listen.

Still way better than other billionaire families though. Anyone know what the Walton heirs are doing besides contributing to art museums?

Those calling for President Donald Trump to concede the election after Joe Biden went against his own words – allowing the media to dictate the election winner – have a short memory.

And, no, it is not the weeks it took former Vice President Al Gore to concede in 2000. It is the far more recent words of Hillary Clinton, who said Biden "should not concede under any circumstances."

That was just this August, amid the pending legal battles over the mass mail-in balloting instituted by Democrat-run states.

"Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances, because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch, and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is," Clinton said.
.......He’s just taking Hillary’s advice!!!

He (Trump)can claim victory right up to the point the indictments come down. Something in the tax evasion realm. He has plenty of enemies waiting to settle the score. Anyone starting a pool on when this happens? I'll go March15 (Ides of March). Michael Cohen will be first on the witness list. Et tu Cohen. We need another pool on who gets the first pardon on the way out the door (after Trump). I'm going with Michael Flynn.

It was John Walton. He volunteered for Vietnam, served in a SOG, and received a silver star while serving in the A Shau Valley as a medic.

He was a pilot for Wal Mart and did do crop dusting and start an application company. He also built boats. Quite a loss.
