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.”

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.
