There are now a record 900 American billionaires which means 500 American billionaires are too poor to make this year’s Forbes 400.

UBS estimates that the number of millionaire American households increased 1.5% last year. For some, the American dream is alive and well..

Still, the American middle class shrank from 61% of the population in 1971 to 51% in 2023. Those who fell out of this cohort did not fall up.

Ahh The land of the free and the almighty dollar, where obviously the rich get richer and middle and lower classes get poorer.
 
When talking a neighbour recently a story about a lighthouse north of Perth came up.
His family farms at Northampton and a kid his father told that the lighthouse south of them was built by an Irish construction team.
It was supposed to be a well, but they had the construction plans upside down.

Apologies to any ASF members who may be of Irish descent, but it made me laugh.
 
ASF members should be aware of an event which could make headlines soon in national newspapers.

King Toera's skull has been returned to his native land, Madagascar, with two others from France. I should clarify that the two other heads were returned from France with King Toera's, I don't mean to suggest the other two were indigenous to France. I checked with an irate official from the government of Madagascar and they are dinky di Sakalava/Malagasy's from Madagascar.

The third image down to the right is King Taore before matters went caput.

There should be more "Heads of State" returned to their rightful place.

Every now and then something occurs in ones life that is totally devastating.
Unfortunately, today, I had that occurence.
We ran out of coffee beans.
Had to make my coffee with what was left in a jar of Nescafe that was past its use by date by nearly two years.

Stand by Mick.
The violins are wailing, and a bucket is being appropriated for your tears.!!!!!!
 
The region Franche-Comté, named after the Franche Comté de Bourgogne (Free County of Burgundy), definitively separated from the region of Burgundy proper in the fifteenth century. In 2016, these two-halves of the historic Kingdom of Burgundy were reunited, as the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. It is the 6th biggest region in France.

The name "Franche-Comté" is feminine because the word "comté" in the past was generally feminine, although today it is masculine.
