Any time there's someone rich at the top of a company, it means that the products they sell costs more than it's truly worth. Yes, that includes the products sold by any multimillionaire and billionaires that you think are the good guys. Their wealth comes from you not being able to accumulate wealth yourself.

Still gets me that musk can incinerate tens of billions of dollars in worth yet still is so much richer than the second place guy that he stays in front.

I lived in America for a decade and my wife is American. Thankfully I got our family out before trump's first rampage. I've despised republicans since not long after I arrived there and figured out what they're really about, and I watched them lose their minds during the Obama years. But watching now, as republicans openly vote to cut real programs that the US working class pay for specifically so they can hand that money to the wealthy as a tax cut I'm just disgusted.

If this budget goes through and there isn't rioting in the streets, then Americans as a people are truly beaten. And wherever you are in the world, you'd better start preparing yourselves, because the oligarchs are coming for you next.
