Absolutely, especially the rhetoric about the election being decided already. I don’t believe an ounce of it and will vote just like I always do.
A chorus of right-leaning tech and business leaders, led by X owner Elon Musk, used their online megaphones in the wake of Saturday’s attack to criticize the Secret Service’s diversity initiatives, condemn Democratic donor Reid Hoffman and make unsubstantiated allegations about the shooting.
It's seems as if ALL news companies want Trump to win. Probably just to generate headlines daily.
This world sucks so much that unplugging is a necessary coping mechanism. We've given assholes way too much control.
Straight to jail, appropriate all assets to fund schools and healthcare
Ackman went on teevee early in the covid after he shorted the market to tell everybody to sell
He then bought the 30 percent dip
SEC did jack shot about it.
Now he is doing similar here...
Never forget
It'd amazing how these billionaires can push for this, when the example of Putin's Russia or Xi's China are right there, showing what happens when you have a government headed by an thin-skinned autocrat who might decide to take your money and your life, not necessarily in that order.
Ask any one of a number of Russian oligarchs. You might need a Ouija board, of course.
Being successfully greedy makes people pretty stupid in that they believe they're untouchable.
We as a country right now are going through a "it can't happen here" with ~~Hitler~~ Trump and it's no different for billionaires except their version is "it can't happen to me, I'm special because I'm a billionaire."
Jack Ma is a billionaire. See how that turned out?. Do they not think for a moment that someone as jealous and vindictive as Trump wouldn't pull a similar stunt, if not worse?
And Ma got off relatively lightly.
They would rather be afraid of one person that they think they can control than a population of people who can see through their bullshit.
