I was thinking to myself earlier this week that it's better for the economy and the world to have 1,000 people who can afford a Rolls Royce than one person who can afford 1,000 Rolls Royces. It's weird to see a similar message in a political ad as if I manifested it. I agree with this 100%.

Corporations do not want more money. They want all of the money. Corporations hate humans. They take vacations, get sick, need breaks, and cost money. If they can eliminate them they will. The same goes for consumers. We are not addicted enough. And if they do addict us we pass laws against it.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

American health care creates no incentive for pharma companies to cure diseases. When you cure a disease, the customers go away. There's no money in that. Curing patients is not a sustainable business model, per Goldman Sachs. news.slashdot.org/story/19/02/...

The rich would prefer you to believe that the "free market" is subject to the immutable law of supply and demand. But for years, the wealthy and powerful have manipulated the market for their own gain. There is nothing “free” about it. Watch.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

A.I. companies are not trying to figure out how to protect you from their technology. They are trying to figure out how to monetize it without liability. Since we won't pay for it directly, they'll convince companies that to compete, they HAVE to have it. Enjoy your newly priced streaming services.

Trump has turned the presidency into a profit machine for him and his cronies. Every decision he makes is tainted by conflicts of interest. While he grifts billions, his moves directly raise prices for Americans who are already struggling. His corruption is a tax on all of us.

Employers underpay their workers by an estimated $50 billion every year through various forms of wage theft. That's more than every type of property crime COMBINED. DoorDash alone paid a $131.5 million settlement in New York City for underpaying their delivery drivers.
