The ruling class does not want working class Americans of all races, identities, and political affiliations talking to each other about our economic struggles. When that happens, Americans start to realize we are all being exploited in similar ways by the ruling class.

Elon Musk engineered a panic over government spending, thwarting major PBM reform and bans on junk fees. But cutting government spending is easy, if you take on power. And therein lies the rub.
