The choice for Americans is kind of crazy...
Do you want to be better off in a better country or do you want the rich to be richer in a worse country?

They'll probably move. France maybe? Mars?
My sense is that the superrich have no sense of what life is really like for the rest of us.
Citizens reduced to NPCs in their video game.
Gratifying their emotional tangents.
They are touted as "geniuses".
Even tho mars is utterly hostile to biological life.
Not such a genius idea after all.
Would contribute to a fund that sends Musk to Mars.
One way trip only tho.
Sadly I think Musk sees it as a slave colony.
He's too cowardly to ever go there himself.
Those somebodies are regular people, who will all be affected by this bill. They aren’t as safe as they might think.
The demonisation of socialism (and therefore society, and community) is incredibly harmful.
Yes, but SOMEONE HAS TO DO THAT JOB. The job needs done. How hard is it to accept that someone doing that job (whichever it is) should be paid enough to live?
be when the president changes back to democrat.
It is a psychopathy.
You have to be in it, to win it.
The odds?
You win nothing.
Yet tickets get bought & dreams are dreamed.
Look under the US flyovers & cardboard cities.
Look inside decaying homes.
See those starving under debt mountains.
Feel the despair of the sick.
The house wins.
Sounds like an easy choice you'd think.💙💙💙

Makes sense that the harried and thoughtless masses can’t grasp what’s happening to us, bc we’d first have to grasp that we are peasants, at the end of the day, in the view of the ACTUAL wealthy.
Many countries are much better off and taxes are comparable, all things considered.
No, I want to own the liberals I imagine wanting to help the brown people
Also racism/theocratic indoctrination etc etc *starts tap dancing off the stage*
