10 hoursAmerica isn’t a democracy any more … I think it stopped acting like a democracy for a while now … probably much longer than everyone likes to think.
It’s a Plutocracy … ‘a society that is ruled or controlled by people of great wealth or income.’

Financial obesity is neurotoxic, an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
See, call me crazy, but like, I thought there were laws and caps to how much a person could donate to a candidate?
And yes I know its some silly loophole, PAC, citizens united corporate bullshit whatever… but like, it “feels” like we all understand the spirit of the law right? And so we all can plainly see that this doesnt respect it? So maybe we dont need to get hung up on technicalities when the violation is blatantly obvious, yea?
If I understand the idea of pacs remotely correctly it is more or less that you can independently advertise whatever you want, you can have a guest speaker in said advertisement, and you can read public messages. None of these individually can be restricted so there is no issue with stringing them together for political gain.

If we take the headline that Elon Musk is a trillionaire to be true…
Lets say you are a working professional something and make 100k a year. You are doing well. Not great, but you are getting by.
A 150 million dollar donation from Elon Musk, if we take their trillionaire or even near trillionare status to be true…
That’s equivalent to you donating about 15 bucks. Thats what 150 million represents to Elon Musk.
