Many of these people don’t have fortunes from consumer goods. An awful lot of them are making money out of thin air. They create markets that rise, bubbles that grow, manipulate markets, etc., and the value of their investments go way up. No products were created, distributed, purchased. That’s too much trouble. Better to just manipulate numbers on a spread sheet, and voilá, wealth out of thin air.

These Sociopathic Oligarchs have become a major global problem, and it is only going to get worse. These people have serious mental illness, likely OCD manifesting as a financial hoarding disorder. They can’t stop accumulating money, no matter how much they have, or the damage it does to society. They would literally kill millions of people if they thought it would increase their bank accounts.

Look at the damage they’ve done as Billionaires, and imagine the problems they could cause as TRILLIONAIRES. They’ll be able to afford armies, especially if they form alliances. Then they can create their own sovereign nation, and start really throwing their influence around.

How could they create their own country, that’s silly? Oh, I don’t know, maybe buy a giant island off the coast of Albania, which has miles of bunkers reinforced to withstand a NATO attack? Maybe Ivanka knows a place like that.

These maniacs are a ticking hydrogen bomb, and we have to do every person on this planet the favor of eliminating this existential threat to mankind.

That day may be coming, but we’re not there yet.

I’ve been telling people who have been criticizing America for not getting violent, that we have two Constitutional checkpoints to go through before violence becomes the appropriate tool. The first was the Midterms, which we got through in spectacular fashion, far better than I even dreamed. We proved, far beyond ANY doubt, that Dem voters have serious POWER in this country, and they are now fully mobilized like never before. Most importantly, we didn’t just prove that to MAGA, we proved it to Dem voters themselves. In the future, it will be far easier to mobilize them, now that they’ve done it, and was such a big success that everybody was rewarded with happiness.

Now we have to keep it together to get through the 2028 Presidential Election, where we can elect a Democratic president, and increase our majorities in Congress. Ted Cruz, for instance, is up for reelection in 2028. It will be fun to end his political career.

If MAGA decides to create a situation in which they feel they can eliminate the election, THEN it will be time for violence.

If we get through the election without a problem, he is almost certainly going to try to pull a Maduro, and just try to stay in office, no matter what the outcome of the election was. In that case, the violence will be directed only at the criminal who is holding the White House hostage.

Violence is a tool, to be used in the appropriate situation. If you needed a screwdriver, you wouldn’t start pounding it with a hammer. The next project is the 2028 election. We just need to stay the course, and not let them knock us off our strategy. We managed to do that for the last two years, now let’s do that for the next two years, and get our country back.

In other words, we are already forcing extremely wealthy people to go to a LOT of trouble to protect the privacy that they believe the rest of us shouldn’t have. That’s a lot of trouble, and a lot of expense, and a lot of inconvenience.

Crank it WAY up, make their lives MISERABLE.

Their children will grow up to be like Trump’s children. Nuff said.

Harris Tweed must, by law, be made by home weavers on non-electric looms, in the weavers’ own homes on the Outer Hebrides Islands:

Harris Tweed® is a tweed which must, by law, be produced from yarn which is made from 100% pure new wool which has been dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland and woven by hand at homes of local islanders. It is the only fabric in the world to have its own Act of Parliament.

They saw the value of keeping the traditions alive, and even wrote it into law.

These days, stores are for last minute purchases. If I think of something I need, I order it, and then wait for it to show up. I’m not interested in wandering around Walmart.

This shouldn’t be a surprise. Both Uber and Lyft have had it on their website for years that their intention was to eventually have a driverless fleet.

Rideshare driving has been a great thing for people who have been unemployed or underemployed. It has helped keep MAGA afloat. Without rideshare jobs, the unemployment stats would be far worse, and we would have a LOT more people on the edge, or even homeless.

Perhaps we should limit the percentage of driverless vehicles that these fleets contain.

Somebody call a WAAAAAH-mbulance!

Like anyone would listen to THIS guy about what is “cool.”

You know what’s cool? Sociopathic Oligarchs stepping off of high buildings. Give it a try, Sam.

Of course not, but MAGA will come up with some dumb premise to give a zillion dollars to a bunch of Sociopathic Oligarchs anyway. They don’t care if it actually works, the objective is to give more money to billionaires.

Aw, too fucking bad. It would be a shame if all those people you were hiding your job from found out what a psychopath you are, like relatives, friends, old colleagues, neighbors, people at church, etc. It would be terrible if they wouldn’t let their kids play with your kids, if they stopped inviting you to neighborhood parties, started reporting you to the HOA, started calling the cops on you for stupid stuff, etc. What a shame that would be.

I think the entire state now allows corporations to vote.

I spent my life in sales, and always knew that I could get a high paying gig in the tobacco industry, but that was a line I drew when I was young.

“They told me they’d be pets that would never die!”

We need to nationalize Space X and Starlink, and imprison Musk.

To date, I think, a robot has not killed anyone. Nor, I think, has anyone used a robot to kill someone else. Those firsts might be imminent.

I believe they are already using autonomous drones in the Ukraine War. If so, those lines have already been crossed without fanfare or note.

AI isn’t replacing people, its just making skilled workers somewhat faster and better at their jobs.

The primary motivation of most CEOs for adopting AI is to replace as many salaries as possible. If it has other useful uses, that’s great, but the primary corporate dream is to increase profits through job replacement.
