The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

There are a few of us who are old enough to remember everyone in the Obama White House and in liberal media defending Obama's failures by insisting that he didn't have the power to do any of the big things he promised. Trump's second term rampage of executive power shows what a total lie that was.

“Gaza is an experiment by the mega-rich trying to show all the peoples of the world how to respond to a rebellion of humanity; they plan to bomb us all.” -Colombian president Gustavo Petro at The Hague Group Summit

I think it’s great that the main invention of the tech industry this decade is a climate killing automated nonsense machine that makes people cognitively stupider by using it and all of the corporate world is relying on it to eliminate jobs (while they kill off any remaining social safety net)

Time traveler: Mr Gates no stop if you invent Windows you will only make 999 million dollars in the future due to wealth taxes 1985 Bill Gates: wow well nevermind I guess
