petriedoc.bsky.social @petriedoc.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Handing power to thieves and greedy lunatics is the new definition of insanity. Higher bills for us and payouts to reduce supply. That’s our money being wasted — twice. 021

petriedoc.bsky.social @petriedoc.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Strange how few recognize the “socialism” in American business models. Consider Amazon. Products wouldn’t get past the warehouse gates if they traveled only on roads built and maintained by Amazon. Taxpayers build and maintain these roads while Amazon collects the profits. Tax them accordingly! 000
