More importantly, how big is his ego and how much money is he willing to piss away chasing the biggest prize of all?
Michael Bloomberg has already spent an unbelievable $300 Million of his own money on his Presidential campaign...
Bloomberg has pledged to use his wealth to finance the Democratic ticket through the November election, whether he is on it or not. His 2020 campaign will provide an excellent case study on how much money can influence voters. Bloomberg, the multi-billionaire former Mayor of New York City, dissatisfied with the slate of candidates, entered the campaign at the end of November, much later than his competitors. The former mayor made the decision to skip the first two contests and invest heavily in the later states, beginning with the Super Tuesday slate.
To this end, Bloomberg has invested significant amounts of his own personal fortune, which is estimated at over $61 billion. Since the start of his campaign just over two months ago, Bloomberg has spent $300 million on his campaign, an unprecedented number in Democratic politics. This includes hundreds of millions spent in television ad buys, like a $10 million dollar one minute spot during the Superbowl. He has a growing campaign structure of 2,000 staffers, dwarfing any of his grassroots funded rivals.
The billionaire using his financial largesse to benefit himself in a political campaign has met with harsh words from the other candidates. “I don’t think anyone ought to be able to buy their way into a nomination or to be president of the United States,” said Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren at last Friday’s debate. “It’s a funny thing. There are millions of people who can desire to run for office. But I guess if you’re worth $60 billion and you can spend several hundred million dollars on commercials, you have a slight advantage. That is nonsense,” added Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
Imagine that - Bernie and Pocahontas don't like being outspent. Hmmm

Who amongst us could ever imagine that two billionaires would end up slugging it out for the White House?

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos Pledges $10 Billion To Fight 'Climate Change'
The arrogance of the uber-wealthy boggles the mind.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has announced a massive new campaign to help save the Earth from climate change. The world's richest man has announced he is launching the Bezos Earth Fund with $10 billion of his own money to kick things off.
He announced the initiative in an Instagram post, in which he stressed that "climate change is the biggest threat to our planet." He said the Bezos Earth Fund will provide grants to scientists, activists, non-governmental organizations, and other campaigns that fight the impact of climate change.
"I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change on this planet we all share," he said. "This global initiative will fund scientists, activists, NGOs--any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world. We can save Earth. It’s going to take collective action from big companies, small companies, nation states, global organizations, and individuals."
The first of the grants will go out this summer. Bezos is believed to have a net worth of over $120 billion

My old table saw fell of the back of my truck
because I'm an idiot.
I was leaving a jobsite last week and had put my able saw on the tailgate to load into the bed. Phone rings, I get distrated, next thing I know I'm heading home on 441 when the guy behind me starts beeping his horn like a fuckin' madman. My table saw had just fallen out of the back of my truck. I never closed the tailgate before I left. What a fuckin' hambone move.
So, I gotta get a new table saw. This is the one I got, and to tell ya the truth, I wish I got it ten friggin' years ago - what a great tool.
