Folks like him need to get out and talk with people. None of us want him or anyone like him. We want people who actually care and understand we need to reverse this new gilded age and return to polices of FDR at a minimum.

Today's Supreme Court ruling, throwing out law and precedent, to allow the president to fire regulators at will (minus the precious fed, cant piss off the rich overlords) is one of the worst Ive seen. If you feel powerless against cooperations and billionaires now, it is only going to get worse.

Highly recommend checking this one out from your local library - an excellent explanation of how we in the US got here. It also reminds us that "we the people" still hold the power, *if*we are willing to band together to regain our country for all, yes all, Americans.

And free from the government is not what I am talking about, that is our tax dollars actually working for our society. I am talking about wanting your local shop to be as cheap as Walmart or expecting every bit of content on the internet to be free or for the plumber to give you a min wage price

My fellow Americans are so obsessed with getting things free or cheap they have inadvertently helped destroy their own economy by refusing to pay even their neighbors a fair wage for their labor. No wonder they worship the billionaires. Some days it feels this country is just doomed.

Economics of a recipe - buy lots of ingredients to test($$$)+lots of trial and error(time)=great recipe but also need to get paid for this cycle to work. Those ads are an income source. The long stories help with SEO. We pay for cookbooks and that pays the creator. Ads are the same.

Fun fact, NYC wasn't bad enough to film it. What was? St Louis, Missouri. The vast majority of it was filmed there. Especially in a warehouse area of downtown STL that had a recent mass fire. Also, they thank an East STL strip club in the credits.

Rarely do I want to go back in time (what woman does) but I will certainly go back to that 1950s/60s tax rate for the most wealthy!

themantissa.bsky.social @themantissa.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

I pay significantly more than he does. Most of us do and it is time for all of us to make them pay their fair share. 90% tax rate on anyone with a net worth greater than 500m. 90% was the rate in the 1950s and it is time we went back to that. US taxes regardless of location, no running Jeff.

Wow Kentucky. To not stand with the guy who actually fought for you, who stood up to a bully for you, who actually seems to have a moral compass? I can now add your state to places I am more than happy to never ever set foot in. May you get everything you deserve as you collectively bend a knee.

Capital is investing in AI at a frenzied pace because they want to destroy the power of labor, not just unions, any labor. If they own the capital and means of production they know we will be at their mercy. We must find ways to fight back. Hold on to hope, we can make a world for us all.

I keep seeing my fellow Americans hoping the state fails?! I really dont think you want that. A failed state is hell and not, oh no they are out of my favorite coffee, hell. Rape, murder, corruption beyond imagination-that is a failed state. We must try to reclaim democracy and a path to balance 1st

Tax. The. .01%. We as a free society must stop this level of wealth and power or we will never regain our full democracy.

Simply not true, have you... 1) have you had exposure to anything beyond WWE which is the bottom of the barrel of pro wrestling? 2) ever met a wrestler? (some of the most lovely, intelligent and athletic people) and 3) I am 1000% sure Effy would do none of these things (look him up)

Further, transport of any power is an important part of the equation but the joy of renewables is most places have some way to generate locally, which makes them powerful & scary to the power mongers. But I doubt it explains why people havent heard about an impressive achievement.

themantissa.bsky.social @themantissa.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

No, more likely because 1) American media is controlled by the billionaires who are still heavily invested in oil and gas here so you dont *easily* hear about our own successes let alone one in Africa. 2) people world wide read short social bits and headlines and not beyond that so don't learn.

And apologies for re-stacking AI slop, the image OP shared is not entirely true but Japan is indeed heavily investing in renewables for rail, and has beem for some.time, eg: www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

Japanese rail operator now entirely powered by renewable energy

A Japanese railway company, Tokyu, says it now uses just solar and other renewable energy to power its sprawling train service.

It is depressing, yet not surprising, to see how fast Americans are falling for China's obvious soft power social media campaign. They are just as bad, if not worse, than we are. Yes they are doing much better with renewables and infrastructure investment but just ask the Uyghurs how it is inside

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the super-rich control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

When money and greed are the only priority, innovation and advancement dies. We are fighting oil wars while Japan does this and China has massively leaned into renewables. America is no longer a technology leader and it is an utter shame.

Tired of hearing how rotten America has always been. YES, there has been absolute tragedy all throughout our history-but there was always some hope and a desire to be better. Sometimes we did good too. But I don't see that hope much anymore. If we lose that the American experiment really will die

Electronic medical record systems have made doctors just so much worse. The doc takes lousy to no notes so you have to keep repeating yourself and then they repeat what they have told you, so you have to remind them what they said. The worst of them then get mad you actually took notes. So bad

There @nytimes.com I fixed the headline for you. This is money sucked out of the bottom 90% of the country into the pockets of the oligarchs, the .01%. We must tax this kind of growth out of existence, the imbalance is killing our democracy.

NYT chart showing un checked growth of Walmarts valuation that is now 1 trillion. Annotated to show that the big rise started in 2016 as Trump and the oligarchs proping him began to suck every last penny from the pocket of the bottom 90%

We must find a way to help more people see the core problem. So hard in a fractured and untrusted media landscape. How do we get the word out to all in a trusted, clear way? That is a key question of our time.
