    If you’re linking to a paywalled site like bloomberg, could you please provide the text in the post, or link to a archive.org copy? All I know about this is the title and the first paragraph of the article. Frustrating.

      You can search for the headline plus “msn” and almost always find it:

      https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/economy/billionaires-at-trump-s-swearing-in-have-since-lost-209-billion/ar-AA1ADH6d

      Some places don’t like people to do that. I’m normally somewhat against it, since I do think it’s important for journalists to get paid, but in this case:

      1. The MSN link actually does in some sense make sure that they get paid. I don’t actually know all the details but I am assuming that this involves in some way money going from sketchy people who buy internet ads, to Microsoft, to the journalists’ corporate overlords, eventually in theory to the journalists, so actually in some weird way it is fitting the requirement.
      2. It’s Bloomberg, so who cares.
