I have a friend who used to work for 2 billionaires after all he's seen he said to me, "I wish you not one penny over $299 million. Reality gets completely lost somewhere after that."
I think about that sometimes.
“Democrats don't stand for anything and they haven't for a very long time..They do exactly what the corporate right does, which is to go back and forth about cultural issues hoping that nobody notices that 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Hoping that nobody notices that while life expectancies are great for the top 1%, you live 7 years less long...if you're in the bottom 50% of this country.
“And so as long as they're doing TikTok dances, or holding up paddles, or we're talking about 'wokeness,' or the mere 10 trans athletes that are in the NCAA, you can convince people to go to the polls and pull a lever for one side or the other, and 10/20/30 years from now they’ll wake up and say: What happen to my mortgage? What happened to my life? What happened to my ability raise a family and have kids?
“And that's exactly the conversation they want us to be having, instead of focusing on why it is that our government, run by corporatists and billionaires, regardless of if it's a Democratic government or a Republican government, consistently serves one segment of the population, and it's the very very rich.”
