I’m sorry but if you don’t think a billionaire shutting down one of the busiest streets in nyc ON THE 4TH OF JULY so she can have a wedding in a castle built inside a basketball court, is not the epitome of out of touch and “let them eat cake” then you just don’t care about people.
We can't have clean energy because it will destroy the oil industry. We can't have healthcare because it will destroy the health insurance industry. We can't have peace because it will destroy the weapon industry. Capitalism built a system we can't afford to do the right thing.
The United States is a capitalist plantation run by 1,000 billionaires who oversee 200 million broke workers with the assistance of 20 million millionaires who provide cover.
