The last thing the US needs is more idle rich sitting around on yachts & golf courses all day while the rest of us labor away for them. But here we are. As Ajamu predicted, it only makes sense that these parasites would converge in a dying capitalist empire during its last stand.

Capitalism commodified the base (red), leaving us frantically scrambling from cradle to grave to secure these most basic needs by marketing/selling ourselves, often unsuccessfully. We are systematically stunted from reaching the other levels as a result.

Trump is looking to fill 375,000 deadend, minimum wage jobs just so more American workers can continue working our lives away with nothing to show for it while being incessantly mocked by Trump's privileged base, which notoriously claims that these "aren't meant to be real jobs."

One produces slave labor. The other produces debt slaves. Both are diabolical profit schemes under capitalism, but it looks like the former is winning out. Perfectly on brand with the capitalist hell hole known as America.

Capitalists have siphoned all of the wealth from society (our collective labor), leaving most of the population broke, and are now looking to replace a significant percentage of us with AI. What comes next? Based on their police budgets, they seem to think it's widespread unrest.

A president with a net worth of $4.1 billion employing an education secretary with a net worth of $3.2 billion to confiscate wages and social security from poor and working-class people for education debt is the epitome of America.

We've reached the stage of capitalism where you can take out a loan for a single meal if capitalists deem you credit worthy.

It has become increasingly clear that student debt was never meant to be paid off. It was intended to create a generation(s) of indentured servants whose entire lives and anything they ever attempt to own automatically become property of the capitalist state.

The number is much higher when you consider indirect/residual deaths from things like agent orange, depleted uranium, infrastructure/agricultural destruction, tainted water/food sources, etc. And it also doesn't touch on birth defects and the psychological damage experienced by survivors.

The welfare state is a capitalist invention that was created to offset the inherent chaos brought on by (1) allowing private interests to control society's means of production, which required (2) the privatization of land/nature and (3) turning the working masses into commodities to be sold and

Trump has chosen Lee Zeldin to run the EPA. During his time in the NY Senate, Zeldin pushed for legislation to punish those who participated in the @BDSmovement against Israeli apartheid. Zeldin also nominated Jared Kushner for a Nobel Peace Prize for his advocacy work on the part of Israel.
