I wish some tech billionaires would enhance the inaugural by projecting those nude pics of mellie onto public DC buildings in the background of the oath-taking.
Also, I’m disgusted by the complete lack of a meaningful, provocative, visible resistance. But that’s a separate issue.
Bezos, Zuckerberg,Musk......corporate whores! You CANNOT convince me that these bastards don't truly know what type of human Trump is. They know; they know! BUT, they could care less. And btw; they truly don't give a god damn about simply good folk. Greedy pigs at a Trump trough.
Damn! I’m getting rid of my Amazon subscription, got rid of my WP subscription, quit Morning https://Joe.now I need to get off of FB. Well, I have tons of books I need to read. Will follow Molly here. And Heather Cox Richardson Newsletter.
Are they all that afraid of him?
Or are they more afraid of his sidekick Musk?
Our government is also capitulating to him.
It’s not going to be a good year next year. The first 100 days will be chaos.
How many know Zuckerberg hired Dustin Carmack back in April ?

You know, here's an idea: How about if the Billionaires stop worrying about taxes and start preparing to be remembered more fondly in history books. You know, like spend a few billion on tiny homes for homeless people, wipe out college tuition for teachers at a few colleges, invest in renewables...
This was the plan! The rich wanted this morons to more tax cuts and gut regulations. Disgraceful! They are like the mob but legit paying the kick upstairs!
I am thinking that once all my Christmas gifts are delivered, it is time to withdraw from Amazon and Amazon Prime. Not that I will be missed but enough is enough!
Lord save us. I absolutely cannot understand kissing the ring when you have SO MUCH MONEY!! You can literally give the finger to whoever you want! If you lost half your fortune you could still buy a small country! Beyond my comprehension.
Wait till he's president and he appoints "acting" secretaries who are in Russia's pocket. This is going to be the worst administration of all time, by an infinite degree.
Someone needs to come up with a list of all the corporations, and affiliates, that are supporting this nightmare, like this list from Wikipedia, so we can stop doing business with them now.
ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) in the US, estimated ~425k+ with a net worth of at least $30 million. about a third of the world's UHNWIs, can buy tables at an inauguration gala (1 or more please, be a social butterfly 🦋) at about 25K per person
CEOs & captains of industry have for the most part have always been self centered dipshits. Hank Ford, Uncle Walt etc of the 1930s would have welcomed Hitler with open arms, expect nothing different from the current crop of CEOs

So long Amazon Prime. As convenient as you were, I will no longer support you because you support a racist, homophobic, sexually abusive misogynist. I will miss you but I willSleepWell at night knowing none of the money going to that orange fraudster is mine.

Good question. I don’t know. I canceled our Prime membership knowing it probably wouldn’t matter but it’s a tiny thing that I can do, and you do what you can. I hope others will too.
Seems a lot of people are canceling Prime (I didn't renew in August). I guess it depends on how badly you need it. Facebook is a little harder for me but I can definitely scale back.
And here's the thing: These oligarch assholes are better prepared to weather the Trump shitstorm than anyone. And instead they chose to roll over and bend over because Christ forbid they miss out on a government contract and their net worth goes from 60 Billion to 57 Billion. Fuck these guys.
Go ahead and cancel your Prime accounts. It’s freeing, trust me. It’s inconvenient for about a week and then you adjust and remember there are so many other and less gross options.
It’s absolutely a bribe. He has the richest tech billionaire in his pocket (or maybe vice-versa), and these guys know they are at risk as long as Elonia has influence in this administration.
Oh it’s going away. Lina Khan, the FTC chairperson leading the investigations into corporate monopolies, is being replaced. Trump announced it 2 days ago. Big corporations wanted her out and trump obliged. Kamala Harris refused to commit to replacing her but probably would have kept her on.
Ditched both last month & haven’t looked back. I would rather rebuy all my ebooks & occasionally have to drive a few towns over than give another dollar to either of these asshats
bluesky? It is a reasonable question, though. The format works for reaching the Native American artists we serve and the events we offer about Native arts. Personally I have spent time in FB Jail for saying stupid Americans.
I agree. There have been attempts to come up with similar but alternatives to Facebook but they never take off. The ability to bookmark events has been helpful. It also has been a way for those of us who are part of Alaska Native Claims Settlement act to talk to on another without corporate spin.
Seriously considering cancelling my Facebook account. But I will miss so many of my friends there. And it helps me remember/acknowledge birthdays. What to do….???
I don't know why we're surprised that someone who made fun of the students who signed up for his early version of Facebook (calling them dumb, etc.) would donate a million to a person who routinely derides and degrades diverse people.
Expect that Trump will gladly take their millions. Not sure that he will deliver anything for that, being the conman that he us. Assume that these payments were not made by Musk or Zuck personally, but rather by the company (i.e. at the expense of the shareholders).
It’s all about what is perceived as staying in (his) good graces. For us out here, they’re all spineless weaklings wavering in front of the evil divine of him.
These billionaires are like vultures circling our dying democracy, hoping to gouch out valuable remaining pieces of her eventual carcass.
Sadly, they don't seem to realize that they would remain billionaires if they didn't participate in her death.
FYI -- between Lowe's, Target, and Walmart you can get anything online that you could with Amazon and not have to pay ~$150 per year for "free" shipping. After bezos bowed to Trump I gave Amazon the middle finger. Walmart isn't much better, but at least they aren't directly paying Trump bribes.
It's crazy. Every year I tell myself to restart posting on FB and IG to stay in better touch with extended friends and family, that my boring data and accretion to Meta's bottom line are minuscule. Then I look at that cretin's face and his midlife crisis and I just can't. 🤣
Notified Friends early today that I'll be phasing out of FB. Between his pain in the butttt algorithms and his recent support of our authoritarian anti-democracy president-elect + his oligarch buds I just don't want to continue in his apps.
And Bluesky is doing a much better job all the way around!
We already have oligarchy, control over the many by the privileged few for corrupt purposes. When the government fully aligns itself with and serves the interests of commerce over the interests of the People, and vice versa, then we'll have fascism. So we have that much to look forward to.
Why would they tell Trump to go fuck himself if they agree with his policies and like what he wants to do? We’re assuming they are capitulating when they probably are rejoicing.
Many of them do like his policies, of course, I just didn’t know so many of them liked being dominated and humiliated in public. But they’re a kinky bunch of pervs so I guess it makes some sense.
We need to capitalize on the sentiment in the US today. We need to let the billionaires know they funded the demise of our country. We need anti-billionaire CEO protests on Inauguration Day. In every state.
Mark Zuckerberg is a pathetic impotent prick. He has no moral compass unless it leads to money &internet dominance. I look forward to all the new cyber brains coming out with new, better, secure ways to use what we have now. For too long, they thought we needed them. They're gonna find out we dont🖕🏻
Facebook is lame anyway. Full of ads and irrelevancies: best thing to do is stay on it, and don't use it. Let it die. Instagram is just as bad, and Threads is so boring.
The blatant bribing & quid pro quo of these executives is so utterly shameless & then it’s normalized by press!! Nothing to see here folks! Business as usual!!
Sorry but you won’t for long.
Amazon will force the small businesses to shut down or get bought out.
Hell Amazon has a pharmacy, online health care, groceries…all that’s left for them to sell is cars
and Elon will make sure we all drive Tesla’s or not at all.

They just embezzle the money and put on a Dollar General party supply shit show.
I’m gonna have to rethink my Amazon purchases and prime account.

And, FB is the only way I keep in touch with friends & family all over the country.
Yes, I want to punch them in their money bags, but how??
Why do I have a feeling this won't be the only "donation" requested of these guys?
Trump can afford to through himself a party. So done with Meta!
Of course it could just go into trump’s pocket.
