Billionaires always win until people realise it's time to stop being civilised and time for guillotines.
I am curious just how far the billionaires will be able to push until the American people snap. So far, seems like they’ve got plenty of appetite for yet more of their shit. I guess it’s probably true that nothing will happen until people start missing meals.
I wonder that myself. I'm I'm disappointed in the answer so far because I suspect that people have been utterly programmed to follow irrelevant trifles over substance.
Finally, a break.
NBC, I appreciate that you tried here but seriously. Could you have soft-pedaled or both-sidesd this any more?
"Musk worked to fire and dismantle his regulatory overseers and was very successful. He gave the trump campaign hundreds of millions of dollars and saved at least that in potential fines" etc.
Seriously, don't half-ass this. Either go full trump like Fox or come out swinging.
This is less surprising than finding out that George Michael was gay
Hold up
Spoiler alerts, please.
Right?
Oh well, at least we still have Freddie Mercury
Gee whiz, I wonder why that is?
🙀
No fucking shit captain obvious.
And yet Tesla is losing money hand over fist. Looks like ole Musky boy can’t win whatever he does. Serves him right, the Nazi.
Are you really saying that one of the richest men in the world, who bought an election and does essentially whatever he wants with impunity, hasn't won already?
