I am sad they never get 100s of recs, but I kick them when I do pop in…
There was another poster MLF1981 whose posts I liked, but they dropped off after the election.

As the last post I am going to make for at least 6 months, I thought this should be it..

I like posts that talk about poverty and inequality honestly and without aggression and violence.


People who say “eat the rich” don’t get that we will be eating each other (poor, lower middle class, moderately upper middle class but with severe stress and overwork -think most doctors/scientists/these days probably cyber-security workers/even small co ceos etc.) not the rich. The rich (Zuck, Musk etc,) and celebrities etc. will be safe with armed security and post truth realities. Not that they should be eaten either, but widespread social unrest and violence ending up harming pretty much everyone but the rich.

The only real form of discipline I back for the rich-some tax payment, rule following and regulations like the rest of us deal with will never ever come for them.
What efforts Lina Khan etc made probably angered wealthy tech CEOs. Governance is for the rest of us. The Biden admin had bought some anti-trust actions against the UHC which a conservative judge booted out..

When any real discipline for the real rich rather than coddling is considered communism this is what you end up with.

And so it goes…
