I am convinced that we are living through "consumerism" vs "capitalism" and that real capitalism actually makes things cheaper. I saw this as a boy with plastic replacing metal making things stupid cheap, now we're just dealing with cheap overpriced shit based purely on greed.

@GovRonDeSantis what's the point of the property tax thing if Fort Lauderdale just up's the city tax rates? Now everyone pays and the rent already bloated to hell.

The last time the US had Robber Barons — men who hoarded wealth while workers struggled to survive — was the Gilded Age of the late 1800s. Workers had organized into unions, and the threat of collective power was enough to force action. The rich gave back — not out of decency, but because workers demanded it. Today's Robber Barons like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos buy the narrative, platforms, newspapers, & politicians. They don't fear us — yet. We’re still fighting back because history shows us what works: organized, relentless, loud collective action. It worked in the 1880s. It's the only thing that's ever worked for working people.

Record profits should translate into record wages, record contracts, and lower prices. Instead its leading to record shareholder payouts. Corporate profit shares of national income hit their highest levels since 1950, while the labor share of income dipped to record lows. Corporate profits accounted for over half of the price increases we are all paying.

John Deere could give every single employee a $20/hr raise and still net nearly $3,000,000,000 per year in profit. This is why their workers are on strike.

Fuck the Save America act without a Save Wages act.

@Blizzard_Ent Just to be clear, I still am mad about not being able to play starcraft 2 that I purchased when it came out -- without being connected to the internet/authenticating.

@USCongress Privacy is a part of freedom, and our government is failing miserably at protecting it.

We should declare a state of emergency on wage theft.

@SteveOnSpeed Billionaires actively sabotaging it.

@saylordocs Financial Control? Are you insane?

[Pedro deCastro @Axefield]

@elonmusk Sounds like what you do when you make a trillion bucks?

[Pedro deCastro @Axefield]

@hypnoksa @AzPetrich you forget that they have to realize those gains which would crash the stock if they all did it.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

This is nuts

[Pedro deCastro @Axefield]

@elonmusk I'm pretty sure the same thing would've happened here with Kamala -> the whole free speech thing they were saying was a problem, and already selling out our country to Europe would've happened with Democrats in power. This whole trillionaire nonsense as a result be dammed.
