Yeah, baby! We’re still beating those lousy Chi-Coms all to hell:
US got 50 more billionaires on the Forbes list & total bill. wealth increase of $450b. China got 38 more billionaires & wealth up by $135b.

Our billionaires are so much better than their billionaires. Makes me proud to be an American.
On the other hand, they are still beating us in environmental degradation, government authoritarianism and worker exploitation so we still have something to shoot for. But I’ll put my pennies on our guys on that too. They’re very good at what they do. And they are certainly doing everything they can to be number one in every way.
