I’d really love to know how the maga crowd feel about that, it’s a question I’ve had for quite a while.

That’s the whole problem.

Well like I said, pretty much all of these mega rich people don’t have any income on paper, otherwise they would have to pay income tax. And rich people hate paying taxes.

JFC, this is the first I’m hearing about Harris calling trump a communist. Get your shit together, Kamala. This shit just makes you look as stupid as he is.

It’s not wages that are the problem, it’s compounding multi-generational wealth. It’s very easy for rich people to make their income zero.

The federal government going nowhere would be the absolute best case scenario right about now, but the reality is far worse.

Oh man, if only there were some kind of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to help protect against this sort of thing…

Indeed they have. And those with the will and resources will never stop doing that. I tried to stay positive for a long time, but I’m rapidly running out of hope for our society. Best of luck to you, friend.

Same with any economic system though

Agreed. For years I’ve been saying that without well maintained controls, the end result of capitalism and socialism will look pretty much the same.

Is oligarchy not the logical result of capitalism with inadequate restraint?

I definitely don’t disagree with that. I think that’s been the inevitable conclusion every since the election of Obama pushed the entire republican party over the edge they were barely clinging to.

Indeed I did! Thanks for the correction. 😉

What would you suggest they do?

Or some democrat who had been a yes up until that point suddenly decides that their conscience tells them they should change to no. See sinema, manchin, fetterman etc.

Was there supposed to be a post here?

I knew this was going to become a thing when they let that shitbag Kavanaugh get away with it during his SC confirmation hearing.

Easy - his base is made up of entirely stupid and selfish people who have no firm principles whatsoever. They’ll believe whatever he tells them to as long as they’re still allowed to hurt the people they enjoy hurting.
