The new administration assembled by President Donald Trump boasts a combined net worth of at least $11.8 billion. The collective wealth of the potential 2024 cabinet is unprecedented for The Cabinet of the United States. Senate confirmation hearings are currently underway in Washington, D.C. — and the potential conflicts of interest for these cabinet members are a fraught topic. We dived into the financial reports and investing strategies of this new administration to understand their financial backgrounds and what this could mean for potential conflicts of interest and insider trading while in office.

Findings

Crypto Enthusiasts

One finding is that President Trump's nominees are crypto enthusiasts. Data on the stock portfolios of Trump's cabinet nominees tells us that almost half of them have significant crypto holdings. Among the greatest is Sean Duffy, Trump's nominee for Secretary of the Department of Transportation, who holds up to $1.1 million in Bitcoin.

Media Wealth

The second, and less startling finding is that the wealth of the nominees is disproportionately from roles in media. Nominated Secretary of the Department of Defense Pete Hegseth made over $4 million in the past two years as a FOX News Host, based on a recent Office of Government Ethics filing. Nominee Tulsi Gabbard earned over $1 million this year from book advances and speeches — most of which for the Republican Party.

Where to Look Next

Public disclosure of funds allows us to examine the financial profiles for the new cabinet of the United States. Looking at the potential cabinet members holistically, it is apparent that they are united by holding large amounts of wealth. Some of this wealth, of course, will have to be divested if taking office. The Office of Government Ethics requires officials to divest from funds which may pose a conflict of interest — a move which many of Trump's nominees will see as costly.

Checking out some fragrances today. Unlike most of you apes, I don't rely on my "natural musk" or "urinating everywhere" when out in the wild to attract mates. On one page, I found a couple o comments that might go against the mindset that only homosexuals wear perfume.

Exactly the same as Tobacco Blaze, but with a more vegetal leaning evoking more of a masculine bias. Very nice. If you like "different" this one is for you. Not recommended for gays and nancyboys.

So, ladies, do you want to smell like a or are you a ?

That cat hates you because of something you did, not because it's just a cat. For a cat to specifically target your home- nah bro you're the problem. This isn't petty revenge at all- it's catnapping. Do better at life and maybe cats will like you (-127)

I have mulch, I sprinkled vinegar, I grew green onions, I tried motion activated sensors, I sprinkled pepper, I put down pointy rocks, I ran the gamut to deter the cat. (1389)

Why kill the cat because it's owner's an idiot? I guess we're all just living in your world and need to adapt or perish. (-53)

why risk your cat getting poisoned, hit by a car, sick, infected, infested, killed by other feral cats, killed by a dog, killed by a coyote, killed by a bird of prey, killed by a fox, killed by a raccoon, killed by a human, killed by a prey animal fighting back, or getting lost or trapped? (15)

People like you are why society is so miserable. He already tried talking to the neighbor who couldn't care any less. Quit making excuses for shitty pet owners who have no regard for their neighbors! (-4)

No, cruel, emotionally unsafe humans as YOURSELF make this world a worse place. How unkind of a human you must be, I feel bad for those around you. You have no empathy.OP, is also a horrible person. He literally sentenced a cat to death. That cat will be put down within a week at a kill shelter. All shelters this time of year are at full capacity. The cat did nothing wrong and now will die terrified after being taken from his home and locked in a 5x5 cage until he's sentenced to death. You are literally saying OP was RIGHT to do this then you have the nerve to insult the person above and call them "miserable" for having empathy. This is a living breathing animal who experiences pain and hurt and loss and was doing cat things, and was raised by a bad cat owner so it's not his fault, yet being sentenced to death for being who he was created to be.

Where the heck do you live? Basically all outdoor cats I have ever known were at least 15 when they died. Do people shoot them in your neighborhood or something like that? (17)

Your personal anecdotes don't really mean anything. But since you are bringing them up, I live in a city/suburb where people "own" outdoor cats. We do not shoot cats, we don't poison cats, we don't have coyotes patrolling the area. I see a cat plastered on the road literally every single week. I literally only travel the same roads (2 miles) ever. So this one single path has around 30-60 dead cats a year. I had an outdoor cat get killed right in front of my house as a child by a car at night. The cats fight each other, they are killed by cars, diseases, etc. I'm not sure how old the outdoor cats live because usually one day they're just gone, don't really have any bodies to find. The statistics tell the same story, so for every 15 yo outdoor cat you know, I know 50 dead young cats on the street. Horrible sight to see literal kittens dead for no other reason than humanity who let them end up like this. (14)

For the next three months, they remained in contact, before she said the groom invited her to a "white party" in Sydney in December, the court heard. She said after arriving at the venue she was "shocked" to learn the man had "organised a wedding".

The bride said she became uncomfortable and wanted to leave, but the groom told her "it was a simple prank".

"He told me that he's organising a prank wedding for his social media. To be precise, Instagram, because he wants to boost his content and wants to start monetising his Instagram page."

In court, footage of the ceremony was played, showing the couple exchanging vows and rings.

While the bride appeared to "enthusiastically" participate in the ceremony, she told the court it was "all an act".

"We had to act to make it look real," she said.

She said she only discovered the "sham" wedding was legal after he asked her to add his name to her application for permanent residency. She said the groom told her he was not a permanent resident and he had "organised the marriage to help him".

But the groom – who has 17,000 followers on Instagram but denied he was a social media influencer – disputed her version of events.

He testified that immediately after they met, he had told her he was bisexual, and that she was "cool with it" and moved into his home.

>bby I'm a bisexual illegal immigrant but I am NOT an influencer

"Precisely why she would participate in a civil marriage and not in a church marriage ceremony went unexplored. It made no sense to me that she would."

Stupid boomer judge, she did it for the 'gram!

I'm 16 but I feel like I grew up to fast. I still feel like Im 8-9, my age dysphoria is bad I hate birthdays, I hate telling people my age, and I hate being around people my age or older because I feel little and even ppl who are 13 feel older than me :(. and I try my best to dress like an 8-9 year old even though I'm tall and don't look like a little kid :(, why don't people take me seriously when I say I'm trans age? I just want to be respectful and validated and taken seriously. I'm not a creep, I just have age dysphoria and I still feel like I'm mentally 8-9

In short, OP talks about interviewing candidates and being heartbroken at how many have psychology degrees followed by unemployment or low-wage employment in an unrelated field. With this experience, they offer a word of warning to those who wish to pursue this degree. Sure, psychology is interesting, but it's not a reliable career to pursue if you hope to become financially independent.

OP isn't wrong. According to Harvard, psychology is a top 3 most popular degree and it's not a surprise. Many people are interested in psychological topics and they pursue the degree at a young age without considering much concerning the job market or retirement or anything of the sort.

According to a Niche ranking, psychology was the third most popular major among college students in the classes of 2022 and 2023. The share of college students majoring in psychology now hovers around 6 percent, up from 4 to 5 percent in the 1980s.

https://summer.harvard.edu/blog/why-choose-psychology-as-your-college-major/

The number of people with psychology degrees far outnumbers the available jobs. Unfortunately, Redditors don't want to hear it. They love their precious degree and they'll defend it to the death, darn it.

They survived by tricking others into getting a useless degree

If you aren't going to become a psychologist, why spend hundreds of thousands on a psychology degree?

If anyone young is reading this, please don't listen to this fart. We live in a capitalist world. Rid your mind of this nonsense of "chasing your dreams". You're at university to set yourself up to make money, not to pursue your passions. There is nothing remotely passion-provoking in a university.

Bullshit!

One of the few based takes.

This is massive cope. You can literally do the MIT psychology course for free online.

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/9-00sc-introduction-to-psychology-fall-2011/

The truth is that if you're curious about psychology, there is no need to pursue a degree in it. Everything you could hope to learn is online, neatly organised, waiting for you to access it for free. It's a stupid reason to go to university. If you're trying to get money, the psychology degree is still useless. So, in short, avoid the psychology degree.

I need DC asap because the casino is fricking rigged, so you're getting a movie review! This movie is like two years old now and I still think about it to this day, not because of the pornographic scene, but because of the storyline.

The whole idea behind the movie is that a 30 year old dommie-mommie is broke asl and needs to pay property taxes to keep her mom's house. Instead of selling it off, she wants to keep it because of the NOSTALGIA o algo. To get the money, she finds a craigslist offer about a family who's giving away a car for a hot single in their area to "date" their son. The whole reason behind this is that their son is an incel (not a he-man woman hater incel) and they want to get him used to socializing before he's sent off to college. After this, the movie is mostly comedic filler that doesn't really expand on the story, but is still fun to watch. She goes to the place that the son is working at (as the parents don't want him to know it's all staged) and tries seducing him. I forgot how it happens but she ends up getting him in some van and he pepper-sprays her thinking she's going to r*pe him (friggin sweet!). The only other memorable part is the scene on the beach where they go skinny dipping for some reason, a group of teens steal their clothes and a NAKED JENNIFER LAWRENCE beats the shit out of them. After that she tries having s*x with the incel but he refuses, so she then steals HIS clothes and tries to drive off which results in him jumping on her (borrowed) car and fighting for some reason. The scene is both funny and arousing (to me at least). I also now permanently associate Maneater with this scene, which is somewhat nice.

Later in the movie, the incel finds true love and ALMOST has s*x with someone who wasn't trying to use him, but SHE ends up barging in and ending anything that was going on between them. The next day, the incel overhears his parents conversing with the MC about how she needs to convince him to go to college and not stay with the actual love of his life. In a fit of rage, he calls over his groomercord buddy to crash the reward car and tries to scam her into having s*x. He ends up prematurely ejaculating because WHO WOULDN'T? The movie then becomes boring as they retract from the main point about the incel and go back to the MC's useless self-inflicted issue about paying off the house. She decides to sell the house and move to California because her friends are moving away too and this makes her start to think if soying over nostalgia is actually productive to her life.

This movie did have it's own fair share of drama (albeit wasn't that big) where the film was accused of normalizing grooming.

Xhe almost has a point, the part where it falls flat though is that I would be happy to be in his position.

During the whole movie, I felt a huge connection with this dude. I suggest giving it a watch if you're ever in need of a laugh/feeling down/feeling romantical.

I have. We were both single so no issues there either. But she was also really drunk and kept sexually assaulting me. Tried to stick her fingers INTO me more than once, grabbed my genitals etc, just generally a lot of unwanted touching in a social situation in a bar with a large group of us.She was very attractive, it was no strings attached, but getting repeatedly sexually assaulted is quite the turn off, even from attractive people.

We were not compatible, had very little if anything in common, and she stalked me.Others I was not attracted to at all, and they had zero boundaries. The one woman is incredibly self centered, almost narcissistic, goes into massive debt, love and s*x bombs, treats her family horribly, hangs out with hard drug addicts who she should have ended the friendship with decades ago, and just makes very bad life choices like getting pregnant on purpose to illegal immigrants who are using her and their kid for a visa or to try to get citizenship and are deadbeat dads neglecting their kids.Another woman had zero goals or ambitions, dropped out of a university, dropped out of a local community college, smoked and used drugs, could have inherited a highly successful business and ran it but refused, has zero self confidence, got with an abusive ex and then got with a sugar daddy who she drained (pun intended) baby trapped and married this abusive man and feels trapped and they are broke.I also re...

One I rejected was, had an instant red flag. We hung out one night but the next day I was sick. I was sick for the next week. We were talking and texting the entire time. Everything seemed normal. Just out of the blue she texted and said if I didn't come over now, I don't care about her. I instantly blocked her without a reply. I was still sick. Another one I rejected had ex, 'trying to commit suicide.' She went over there. She was telling me about it the entire time it was happening and I told her it was not a good idea and that she needed to call the police. If he was willing to hurt himself, there's no telling what he might do to her, I said. She still went, she found herself locked in the bathroom calling me up to get her. I did, but that was the last night I seen her. (1)

Pre COVID I used to have women sneak up on me and play with my hair to flirt with me and that's an instant rejection.  It's a crappy person who touches a stranger's afro. (124)

My husband had a fro as a young man, and he also hated that shit. He said it was an easy litmus test; if a woman touched his shit without permission, she was obviously a dumb b-word and he had no interest in anything with her.And before anyone says anything about "dumb b-word", if a man were to walk up and touch any part of me without my permission I would immediately consider him to be a stupid butthole, so I think that's a fair comparison, if we're going to insult people of either gender who do dumb shit.
