Billionaires back Joe Biden, from Tampa Free Press. Tampa Bay local press and national news.
Turns out the 0.02% of Americans who live in Americas 10 most expensive zip codes, donate overwhelmingly to Biden, making up 7% of his total donations, 300x more than proportion to everyone else, just these 10 ultra wealthy zipcodes.

President Joe Biden’s primary fundraising arms have received an outsized amount of support from the most expensive zip codes in the country, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of Federal Election Commission (FEC) records.
The 10 most expensive zip codes by median home value, which accounted for just 0.02% of the population in 2020, were responsible for 7.6% of this year’s donations to the Biden campaign and the Biden Victory Fund, which are the primary committees used by the president’s reelection effort, according to data from the United States Census Bureau and the FEC. The roughly 81,000 people living in those zip codes donated 311 times more to Biden than would be proportionate to their share of the population.
Median home prices in these zip codes range from $4.25 million in Rancho Santa Fe, California, on the low end, and up to $7.95 million in Atherton, California, on the high end, according to the Times. The median price of a house in the United States was $412,000 as of September, according to Forbes.
Democrats have been bleeding working-class voters since 2016, though have made up their losses by appealing to higher-income voters and college graduates, according to Axios.
Working-class congressional districts have begun electing more Republicans to represent them, while Democrats have started picking up wealthier districts, Axios reported. Democrats represented nine of the 10 wealthiest congressional districts as of 2022.

Biden has portrayed himself as a champion for the working class, leaning into his purported blue-collar roots and juxtaposing himself with former President Donald Trump.

He also pointed out that high-dollar donors give more money to super PACs than they do campaigns, as it allows them to “make more of a difference.”

This is the same exact article you already posted like 30 minutes ago, just republished by a different publication. It's still older than 48 hours, no matter which publication publishes it. I hope the mods ban you for repeatedly breaking the rules.

The article says the 10 zip codes with the highest average home values mostly support Biden. Ok. So... what? What conclusion should we be drawing from that?

>>1249384 For starters, virtually no one is getting gender-conforming surgery below 18. It just doesn’t happen regularly - it’s a scare tactic from the right.
Continuing on, you can’t just pop into the CVS and pick up a pack of over-the-counter puberty blockers. Transitioning is a multi-year process and each step is done under the care of multiple doctors and psychiatrists. They don’t progress to the next stage until it is clear that the current state is working well, and every step requires sign-off from the physician, psychiatrists, the child's parents, and the child themselves.
They start with social transitioning. The adolescent is allowed to dress as their preferred gender and start using new names and pronouns.
If the doctors feel this is progressing well, then they will administer puberty blockers when the adolescen starts displaying signs of puberty (giving them earlier would be pointless). Going through puberty as your birth gender is very traumatic for trans children, and puberty blockers help reduce that pain. Contrary to what you may have heard, it is reversible. Stop taking them and you go through normal puberty, just a bit later.
If that step works well, the doctors will then prescribe hormonal replacements so that the now older child begins developing secondary sex characteristics of their preferred gender. This is less reversible but is only after years of the child being their preferred gender full-time.
Then, once the child is an adult, they may undergo corrective surgery. Typically this is just a mastectomy for FTM transitions. Most trans people never get “bottom” surgery. The few that do do so as adults and again, after years (sometimes a decade) of transitioning
Thousands of doctors and psychiatrists have been studying this and it is the treatment protocol for transgender individuals, as endorsed by the AMA and American Academy of Pediatrics. No step is taken lightly, and every step is done slowly under the care of specialists.

>>1249397 Have you ever talked to a trans person to find out what their issues are for them? For a lot of them, they really aren't these. They aren't delusional, you know? They aren't trying to literally become biologically the same as cis gender. They simply want their gender affirmed. Getting these surgeries is actually highly successful in doing this.
I think you are missing how much of gender is social. Affirmation means being able to go through society and have people recognize you in the way that makes you feel comfortable. When you are out in public, no one is checking to see if you have periods, or whether you are capable of giving birth. They are giving youa glance over and their brains are giving them a gut reaction as to your gender.
Gender assignment surgery helps people see them for the gender they are, and give them the affirmation they need. And that's it. It's highly succesful, and the rate of regret is INCREDIBLY tiny.
With such a high success rate, I see no reason that we will look at this in a negative light. At worst, they'll seem primitive.
