There is no point in denying or sugarcoating it. The economy is likely to crash. I don't think we Americans will be ready for what is coming. This may be worse than the 2008 crash. youtu.be/G984geX-9xo?...

"The reason you are getting poor is because your wealth is being squeezed out by the rich and super rich. They are taking their wealth from you. You are unable to compete with them. The working class is being bankrupted. The middle class is disappearing. Tax wealth, not work." Spread this video.

This is a very sad story, but what makes me crazy is that people tried to explain that this is what would happen and got caricatured as "woke" hysterics www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.

ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a US citizen is 'at risk – period,' immigration attorney says.

Hey Elon, are you going to "DOGE" the DEA, CIA, DOD, and Homeland Security? I bet a lot of taxpayer money is wasted in those agencies. Just a thought!

Mark Carney just won with 86% of the vote and will now be the next PM of Canada. One of the big questions now is if he will respond to Trump’s tariffs with basic income, which he knows is needed anyway in response to AI, and has the support of his party. youtu.be/OzJjVIvvf8A?...

For those of you who scold those of us who are asking WTF the Dems are doing, take note. Decorum and incumbent entitlement have emasculated the party, i.e., voting for 74- yr-old Connelly instead of AOC as minority leader of the Oversight Committee. It wasn't her turn, don't you know.

I think our federal government is rapidly becoming a techno-feudal state. The writing is on the wall. Much to process.

I wrote this back in 2016 for The Boston Globe. It's maddening to see DeepSeek happen almost a full decade later and still no universal basic income in sight. Even worse, oligarchy has installed an authoritarian to cut their taxes and eviscerate jobs and wages with AI to further enrich themselves.

Most corporations are overvalued, and the majority of government projects are inflated—both designed to concentrate wealth at the top. UBI is different; its designed to directly channel resources and opportunities to the working masses at the bottom.

It's your fault, Mitch. Your party and your complicit behavior and regressive Republican of trickle-down economics benefiting right-wing billionaires are what gave the rise of MAGA and Trump.

the world they want is one where you're either unemployed or work an almost no wage job, you have almost no political input or self determination and you’re happy about it because you can get a t-shirt off temu for a $1

And you can add the implementation of Universal Basic Income because we have to DO SOMETHING about the jobs AI is going to make disappear. We have to do it now so that it's in place when the proverbial hits the fan.

This is it right here. Inequality has grown too extreme. Elon and other megabillionaires want more and more. They don't want higher taxes. By demonizing immigrants and turning the non-rich against each other, the rich can keep winning. Don't let them win. There are more of us. UBI and tax the rich.
