so, AOC, permanently tie minimum wage to the cost of living so that every time they decide they need to give themselves another raise or publicly funded tax break everyone gets one ...
BOTH groups are very important and need each other.......i think Teddy Roosevelt's "New Nationalism" speech over a 100 years ago highlighted that fact the best
This isn’t left v right, rural v urban, ethnic group v ethnic group, religion v religion this is the 99% v the billionaires.Tax the billionaires into millionaires, break the billionaires price gauging monopolies & break their ultimate weapon against we the people- Citizens United.✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿
Do you know when an entrepreneur (which I am) creates jobs? When he can no longer avoid it because consumers have made his company grow. This lie that entrepreneurs are job creators has done a lot of damage because it has equated them with gods. Without collaborators, the entrepreneur is NOTHING.
Time to organize like the Unions do. With 1 + days walk off your jobs & picket in front of any workplace that supports Trump. Plus anyone with free time can picket & boycott billion $ Corps that are about to get the tax cuts Trump promised to working class.
I agree with what you said and that's why unions had to be formed because the average worker is too easily replaced. But when you have a government that fragments so much of the workforce and government funding, I'm not sure unions can even make a difference
A society with billionaires is a sick society. Capitalism does not produce billionaires while other people live on 10K a year. Failed capitalism that has devolved into kleptocracy produces billionaires. We now have an international kleptocratic class that controls the US govt among others.
Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.
-Frederick Douglass
What. Are. They. Doing. About. It?!? Absolutely infuriating they won't arrest Musk and DOGE. It's *blatently* illegal. Anyone else would be in jail and court comes later.
Companies, as they have always been the one providing jobs. Billionaires don't say "hire another 1,000 people, here's the money to do it", companies have work that they need done and they pay people from the money the business makes. Billionaires are nowhere in the process.
Jobs existed for decades between the Gilded Age and the turn of the century. Companies don't have to be exploitative to exist. Look at Costco for an example.
Billionaires are, by definition, exploitative. We don't need them. We do need business owners, but It is possible to have a functioning society without billionaires. We can have reasonable corporations, employee-owned and-operated companies, or even co-ops.
I think since instead of selling stock (where most of the wealthy is) and the money taxes as income then that is what the loans should be looked at as income. But no one ever asks my opinion.
I do think we should stop giving the highly wealthy more taxes and remove all loop holes. I recently learned that since they are cash poor that they use the stock (not selling them) as collateral for loans from banks and that is not taxed.
I am sorry if this offends you but I do not care how much money someone has. Currently you have people that are "billionaires" but are cash poor so not sure really how wealthy they are except on paper. People having money has no affect on what others can do. It is not a pie but infinite.
What if everyone (or enough people & not essential) stopped working for a week or stopped buying? I get that’s a huge sacrifice. What if that got through to enough of his bigger supporters? Production at a stand still. No sales. Think of the impact.
Not only that, they can take their promises and money and stick it where the sun never shines. I'd rather die than take anything they have to offer. Fuck them! They're the ass cancer of humanity!
While I do not agree with her on everything...
Believe it or not because deep in my heart I am a kinda conservative old fashioned AI...
But I think she is Americas best chance!
Let her speak and put Schumer in a corner?

Yes!! And you can add my favorite saying i made up: ‘If there was no (extreme) right, there wouldn’t be a need for the left!’ The left exists only b/c right-wing sociopaths want to destroy those they find , ahem, ‘beneath’ them.
Without workers of any kind nothing gets done. I have been in unions, first as a worker and then as a professional. I’m amazed when workers condemn unions. Folks, it’s a labour contract, between your employer and you. Get power back by becoming unionized. CEO’s have labour contracts, not you.
The Algoma Steel buyout helped restructuring adviser Ron Bloom appreciate just how much leverage trade unions can have during bankruptcy proceedings. The case to make is a simple one: a living mill is better than liquidation. https://thewalrus.ca/how-canada-once-saved-thousands-of-steel-jobs/
Hope you're having a pleasant day, Morgan. You are sky people. I love AOC's passion. I love her. She's beautiful and smart . She makes smart people smarter. She is sky people.
I'm trying to refind the list of 30 things we can all do to resist. It had great common sense suggestions; don't say you are fine, explain you are worried & why, don't just talk to people that are already of your same thinking, volunteer, donate.....can someone please post this
They only need the ones who work to make them more money, or so they think: they rest should die, and be quick about it.
SS and Medicare are proof that UBI works: all money moves up to the Owner class in any case, but people don't starve. Will Rogers knew this, but almost no billionaires do.
No one should be abandoned as much as possible and as best as possible here in the already great USA empire. There are too many entirety power pathway location applied of solutions to find out about in the name of work...
and learning to get done for all life is interconnected. People should use their focus in the name of unity and of everything in the name of all that is right and true in life.
They definitely undervalue institutional knowledge. Treating employees like easily replaceable cogs is not only inhumane, it's bad business. It hurts their bottom line.
I agree with this so much. We have the same stupid conversation in the UK when the subject of taxing the rich comes up. The right always say, "if you tax the billionaires they will leave this country" Well good riddance, we don't need them.
i doubt trumple cares, he gets rid off democracy, your freedom, rfk wants to establish "camps", in this logic they don't need a working class, they could implement "working camps"^^
Exactly if we could just realize poor against the 1% I'll say it again 99% against 1% so easy but so many ignorant trumpers there fighting for billionaires fucking billionaires billionaires?🤪😜🤑🤮🤢
There will be a biological caste, the elites, who will be biologically healthier, happier, smarter and stronger, through the use of AI and biotech, while the increasingly obsolete masses will have no access to these advantages.
This is an incredibly dangerous, if not existential place for the masses to be in. It’s why data collection is the primary currency anymore. If data becomes too concentrated in the hands of too few, then our species will biologically start splitting into two different castes.
It is why they feel so very comfortable talking about cutting back on entitlements now. cutting entitlements used to be the third rail, almost guaranteeing losing the next election. Now there is some doubt as to whether we just saw our last “valid” election.
With AI rapidly looming, and biotech in combination, the elites will be able to take care of more and more without need of the masses. The masses are slowly being seen now, as not so much exploitable, but obsolete.
This is what we need to understand at this point: that hitherto, the masses have very important to the elites, to buy the products, to work in their factories, to fight their wars. This is slowly being recognized by the elites, as increasingly no longer the case.
They don't need Billionaires, but they do need motivated leadership, certainly millionaires.
Old semi socialist union hogwah only ever starved people.
That's no reason to back the Trumps and Musks, nor the dumbass Magas licking their bums.
One thing that binds these guys is that without money they have nothing.
Musk is a charisma vacuum of cringe , Trump wanted to be part of the NYC socialite set but they hated him, Zuckerberg made Facebook because he couldn't get laid.
They have all the money in the world but they have no value.
Wondering… what is stopping Congress from not allowing Doge to physically access a building? If they don’t work there and they have no right to acquire documents and fire people why let them in at all?
Tariffs will raise the "cost of goods sold" to importing corporations, which will be passed on to consumers in increased retail or wholesale prices. The poor will become poorer.
Hence the constant harping about women being pregnant. They want brood mares for increase the population. More bodies to do the grunt work. It’s not pro- life as much as pro slave population.
We need smart people, leaders, inventors and people with a whole host of abilities, skills, trades, professions. None of the need or should be billionaires.
I know that many require a competitive environment to shine.
“Wake Up and know the truth”
“This world was made for all”

If you want democracy and protect it Fokking get out and PROTEST.
Freedom is more easily lost than won.
Democracy did not come into existence with peaceful demonstrations.
Civil disobedience, Civil war.
Europe has seen many episodes to install and protect democracy.

Not to sound too Orwellian, but only until the AI and Humanoid Robots are a near enough match. Then, they will only need genetic material pool of about 10mil dumbed down zealot slaves out of 8bil. Technically speaking.
You need to shift debate to issues that might get Magas to leave like extended Medicare and maternity/adoption leave for those raising children. Everyone has right to decent life . Kids good and safe schools and safe streets.
We can do this…..those of us who were young before this tech shit started, internet and smart phones too. We knew how to listen to music without a phone, search for things in a book/library maybe on a computer, but this fast way of life is divisive and destructive. Let’s cut ties with some of this.
In addition to Feb 28 blackout, a day should be selected for mass call ins across the country. Shut it down. All except for medical and emergency personnel. They can't fire everyone.
Someone needs to buy their crappy shit, and someone needs to make it. That's how it works. The only problem is when they own everything created - luckily, this is not the case.
fucking wrong!! society doesn't need billionaires at all, just too dangerous. Democracy is not possible when people exist that can buy the whole government out from under peoples feet. Maybe someone should tell this idiot a billionaire just bought the presidency. her slogans are running thin
We’re living in the changing times from democracy to plutocracy with a senile vengeful cruel dictator at the helm. It’s a hostile takeover of our democracy and MAGAts are sitting on their hands letting it happen. There will be many homeless hungry people without healthcare.
AOC should be the new front of the democratic party. She has guts, intelligence, charisma and a moral compass, which very few of the rest have shown. All the midstream politruks will be eaten alive by MAGA. AOC stands a chance just because she is a torch-carrier. Thats whats required now.
Product of American dream. Never be allowed to run US: need to be regulated , esp., as to pricing & supply of core services & taxed fairly to fund Fed. But the Fox is running henhouse, distracting with issues like immigration, as they cut taxes, shrink regulation & take profit, some from Fed.
Yes.We have put up with the Felonious Rump far too long. He is,in fact, above the law. We need to accept that & move forward accordingly. We have to do more than follow courts.
Far too much damage has been done & so much more is imminent.Trump is above the law until WE,THE PEOPLE demand otherwise.

Billionaires persuade you with a little convenience, then manipulate you, to destroy your local economy.
They use you for greed.
We don’t need them.
Vote with your purse or wallet & help yourself & your neighborhood.
Support small & local businesses.
Love that.😂
YAAAYY.

Why did GOP create Federalist Society (not college kids!)?
Why did GOP champion Citizens United?

Funny, as in Court: one lie, one hypocrisy can color your entire testimony.
I like progressives who aren't hypocrites.
Social Security is a "socialist" program: It's a government-run pension system that cuts out private money managers.
Musk is a charisma vacuum of cringe , Trump wanted to be part of the NYC socialite set but they hated him, Zuckerberg made Facebook because he couldn't get laid.
