"political elites grow fat with impunity"

ALT Pen In Flames Umineko GIF

We are witnessing with despair the iniquitous use of hunger as a weapon of war. Burning crops, stealing livestock, and blocking aid are tactics increasingly used by armed militias. As civilians languish in misery, political elites grow fat with impunity. It is time to sanction these abuses and hold accountable those who are responsible for it.

JD Vance is the latest populist right-winger who rages against the “elites” while allying with some of the richest people plundering the American working class. The act is getting old.
NEW: JD Vance claims he’s taking on elites. His donor list tells another story. His top donor occupation is CEO. And his allies got rich creating the problems facing the working class Ohioans Vance wants to represent. We investigated with @BrianTylerCohen.

The average American now pays $300 a month on subscriptions...but there's no customer value in changing all of our products from one-time payments into monthly fees. At what point do we stop letting corporations getting away with this scam?
NEW: Salesforce invented a new way for companies to make money, and we're paying the price. Everything is a subscription now. Printers, refrigerators, and even cars make you pay monthly fees. So you’re forced to rent the things you already own, while greedy execs get rich.

"We're tired of being the back of the economy, because our backs are broken" –– Billy Randel, a truck driver who has seen the industry get worse and worse. We can't live without truckers, so why are they paid so low? New Class Room ep from @brookedarrah:
NEW: Truckers used to make $100K+ per year. Now many drivers are homeless. So what happened? Trucking was deregulated — letting billionaires and big box stores like Walmart crush workers across an entire industry.

Crypto has had enough second chances. We don’t need new soft regulations like @SBF_FTX wanted. We need our leaders to treat it like the fraudulent industry it is, enforce the existing laws we have and use the DOJ and SEC to protect working people.
NEW: Did Sam Bankman-Fried kill crypto? His massive fraud cost customers billions of dollars that are still missing. But the crypto industry wants you to think SBF was just a bad apple. And some lawmakers believe new regulations could make crypto safe. Here's why they're wrong.
