It's almost as if letting billionaires buy the media landscape has political consequences....

Not this spinless batch for sure. A new crop like Kat from Illinois would agitate for that.

It's not over until the fat lady sings. At the very least, tank Tesla's stock via protest while you still can.

It's sort of fucked up how relieving it is to know your parent in laws got their US citizenship years ago. It should not be like this

Yeah, and my labor contributes to the capitalist orphan grinding machine. Question is not who is pure, but what people are doing with their privilege. Someone is using their new privilege to murder opponents, and she may have used her privilege to take away freedoms. Doesn't make the two wrongs into a right.

Unless one of your values is to take wealth from those that don't share your values, this is not a critique that will lead to meaningful corrections. I guess that could be a conservative value, but now you're just doing identity politics.

Show me the conservative critique of billionaires. I know how that works on the left, but the right is about preserving power structures

Most expensive concert tour ever.
