    We’re much more in need of anti-trust enforcement. Productivity is much higher now than at any point in history, but all of the wealth it creates is stolen and hoarded by a very small number of greedy people.

    Freeing that up and putting it in the hands of the people would give all of us a high standard of living. Putting a fraction of it into public funding to mitigate the effects of climate change would also support this.

      This we’ve done a full 180 back to the robber baron era of the 19 hundreds but supercharged for the modern age. America is like history wtf is that because one day I will also be rich and wish to run over peaons in the street, or in the case of musk and Trump, sexually assault and starve children with no consequences.
