Borowitz - My Project 2025

The Heritage Foundation has inspired me to create my very own Project 2025—and, unlike their 900-page dystopian fever dream, mine can be summarized in one sentence:

I’m breaking up with the oligarchs.

The following billionaires have cynically chosen to throw in with Trump. Consequently, they all deserve a boycott in 2025. (Note: I’m aware that there are many other oligarchs worthy of being shunned. Consider this a starter kit.)

1. Elon Musk

The world’s richest and most boring man might be the easiest oligarch for me to avoid. I haven’t posted on the toxic cesspool called X in years, and the only reason I haven’t deleted my account there is to keep the @borowitzreport handle from being hijacked by a neo-Nazi bot. If I ever need an exploding rocket or self-crashing car, I won’t buy one from Elon.

Or my local brick and mortar shop. Amazon is more convenient, and I began ordering more during the pandemic. Just got used to it. No more.

Although, I'm not ready to break up with Jeff Bezos just yet. But we all need to find creative ways to deny our hard-earned money to the one-per-centers of this country. They've been taking from us for pretty much our entire lives.

It needs to stop NOW, even if it means we make do with LESS, in order to deny THEM.

Thanks Borowitz!
