“have gained”
That’s an interesting way to phrase “have stolen”.
Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
Blue shell the rich.
And the ones that do should be magnanimous to a fault.
UI
Lol.
The collapse is inevitable.
Like, even a small child could sense it at this point.
The collapse is inevitable.
The Vanderbilts and Rockerfellers and JP Morgans weren’t the ones bankrupted by the Great Depression. Elon Musk will not be the protagonist of the next Steinbeck novel. The “collapse” will just be further economic consolidation, until the people being squeezed are willing to resist their own exploitation as a collective unit.
If the stock market loses 90% of its value tomorrow, all that changes is valuation. The physical capital remains in the hands of the plutocrats as does the command over the bulk of human labor. And the pain we feel will be the consequence of policies they impose, not any real shortfall of goods or dearth of professional services.
Which is why we need to invest in non-capitalist owned economies. The more we grow these economies the more resilient the average person can be. Things like the CFNE need to expand https://cooperativefund.org/. More businesses need to be in a circular local economy where people’s needs can be met without the wealthiest getting profits.
If it makes you feel better, I’ve noticed a lot, lot more private security in the uber-rich neighborhood I have to pass to get to work.
They’re scared.
The more sickening part is since COVID which Trump had purposely let onto our shores has made the number of billionaires in America at that time which was around 450 now more than double and now nearly 1000 people in this country have a billion dollars. And these people made it by being really greedy jacking up the prices of everything. They will only ever take and never give anything back. There will be no schools, no auditoriums, no days of honor for this scourge. Time for them to get humbled.
I’m hungry for some baguettes and French onion soup
Oooooh, I hear it makes their flesh and liver taste super delicious.
The poor & dimwitted rubes who voted for trump see this as a good thing. They claim to be Christian but really they worship money.
Because they have been doing insider trading.
Hmm that would be 7 years of snap benefits.
\70. The figures I have heard on NPR say that SNAP costs 100 million per year
It’s 100 billion, if you actually heard million, someone misspoke. Don’t listen when Dr. Evil talks about amounts of money.
Your figures are wonky. There are ~42 million people on SNAP.
Bullets are cheap y’all.
Which ones, I’m genuinely asking
You go far enough left and you eventually get your guns back
Who doesn’t use guns, exactly?
Hmmm. And the poor have gotten poorer?
Almost sounds like theft.
Not shocking. Trump loves the wealthy.
History is full of former evil empires. USA is number one on that list. It is The most evil society ever build and the world would be bettet without.
It is The most evil society ever build
there are some pretty tight competitors for that spot if we try not to have a recency bias
Hey, nothing to see here, keep bitchin’ at the people on food coupons…
Any minute now that trickle down effect is gonna feel like a torrential down poor of cash. Yup. Any minute now.
It’ll probably start right after these job creators finish creating jobs for some of those estimated 7+ million unemployed Americans that are actively looking for work.
