Why are billionaires?
In today's episode of 'End of the US Empire' Larry Ellison wants to put all American's data, including health records & DNA, into a big Oracle system for AI to "study".
Of course the ultimate goal is constant, real-time surveillance of a population, which Ellison suggests will keep everyone "on their best behavior." How's that working out for the Uyghurs then?
Lord save us from US eugenicist nazi billionaires.

People across the country are fed up with both parties bowing down to billionaires. They want to tax the rich now. They want to keep Social Security and expand Medicare. They are sick and tired of corporate greed running rampant in our policy-making.
In a democracy, power should be in the hands of workers, community members, and democratically accountable representatives—not billionaires who are trying to enrich themselves at our expense. —Rashida Tlaib, congresswoman. #USPol #USPolitics #politics #democracy #Billionaires #TaxBillionaires #equity #ClassWar #PowerToThePeople
The #WealthGap isn’t just growing - it’s exploding. Wages stagnate while profits soar.
A few billionaires control more wealth than all the other people combined - and with that, billionaires control politics and who is in government!
#UBI doesn’t “punish success” - it ensures #everyone has a chance to succeed. Because no one should have to beg for basic survival in the richest era in history.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick thinks those who complain about missing Social Security checks are probably criminals. That’s insane.

We are free today substantially, but the day will come when our Republic will be an impossibility. It will be an impossibility because wealth will be concentrated in the hands of a few. A Republic cannot stand upon bayonets, and when the day comes when the wealth of the nation will be in the hands of a few, then we must rely upon the wisdom of the best elements in the country to readjust the laws of the nations to the changed conditions.
—James Madison
“Senior tax officials are bracing for a sharp drop in revenue collected this spring, as an increasing number of individuals and businesses spurn filing their taxes or attempt to skip paying balances owed to the Internal Revenue Service,” the Washington Post reports.
“Treasury Department and IRS officials are predicting a decrease of more than 10 percent in tax receipts by the April 15 deadline compared with 2024.”

Ich hätte für Fritze ja nen gaaanz heißen Tipp, wo extrem viel Geld zu holen ist:
Mensch, Fritze, natürlich bei denen, die extrem viel Geld besitzen...
Sooo einfach ist das.
Er kann ja schon mal bei sich anfangen und die Düserei im #Regierungsflieger einsparen ..
Ansonsten kann man gut sparen, was über ist. Und da weiß ich ja, wo die neue #Regierung ansetzen sollte:
Elect millionaires and billionaires who have no idea what things cost, and this is what you get.
Why do Republicans now think it’s okay to pay more for everything?

More than 10,000 people turned out for a rally with U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt), in Warren as part of his national “Fighting Oligarchy” tour. Democrats should try this...

The people who benefit the most and use the most resources should pay the highest taxes, not the lowest taxes. How many trucks do you or I put on the road compared to how many Amazon puts on the road? They make more money from and cause more wear and tear to the infrastructure. They should pay. #EatTheRich #ClassWar #TaxBillionaires
Palantir’s stock has gained about 150% since the election. I guess Thiel's boy Vance becoming VP has increased the company's value, as white supremacists redefine the US.
The company's co-founders and the chief legal, finance and technology officers all sold stakes in the business last year, with Peter Thiel offloading about a third of his holding.
Peter Thiel is currently worth $19.5 billion, according to Bloomberg.
