Billionaires ARE the Problem. @bumpermagnets.bsky.social · 03/03/2026We all accept that people are unique. We accept that people are different in physical and mental ways. Some are shorter, some are taller, some are introverts and some are extroverts. But when it comes to sexuality, a person must be male or female and must be attracted to the opposite sex. 000
Billionaires ARE the Problem. @bumpermagnets.bsky.social · 14/01/2026Might makes Right. In order to follow this doctrine you have to either increase your power or decrease your opponent's power. View Trump's actions (economic and military) with this is mind. A lot of stuff makes sense. Eg, Ever Changing tariffs don't help manufacturing but do hurt other countries. 000

Billionaires ARE the Problem. @bumpermagnets.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Lower income people probably pay a higher percent of income in sales tax and FICA tax rather than income and capital gains tax. Lower income people probably pay a higher percent of their total income in all taxes (federal, state, local, sales, income, FICA ...). It's one thing to consider. 000

Billionaires ARE the Problem. @bumpermagnets.bsky.social · 05/01/2026It costs >$50/barrel to get US oil out to the ground. It cost $10/barel to get other oils out of the ground. If Trump is successful at pumping more oil in Venezuela, the price of oil will drop and the shale oil and tar sands oil in the US will cease producing. More Venezuelan oil will end US oil. 000
