The most telling number is the 401k one. If she was the wealthy sort, she'd probably be exploiting that sort of thing as much as possible.

Or maybe not, because she knows it will be in the disclosure. But most wealthy people follow professional advice on how to pay the least taxes, and that includes exploiting retirement fund tax breaks.

401ks have specific limits on how much you can contribute. Most big wealth comes from ownership of stock and other assets.

Yeah, but the 401k limit is 22.5k (for 2023). You max the tax advantage before investing in non-advantaged stuff.

Fediverse vs Disinformation

470 readers
46 users here now

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
