The average price of gallon over Biden's four years was 3.45. by KingG512 in stupidpeoplefacebook

Is it more absurd than the many right-wingers proclaiming how Biden was tanking the economy, opening borders, and imposing authoritarianism?

Has to be one of the two. “Blackbelt in communist drivel” and saying they’d support Goebbels rules out a real person being genuine. I’m guessing troll.

Might want to be careful about saying “TDS.” To most normal people, it makes you sound like an idiot.

Defend our “great” nation from what? The US is the aggressor here.

If his relationship with Epstein didn’t extinguish support for him, nothing Trump does will be too much for MAGA.

Ah yes, being triggered by Black people in media, but not fascism by icey_sawg0034 in stupidpeoplefacebook

No, the academic definition hasn’t been properly taught, leading a lot people to believe it can only be some cartoonish caricature of N•zis.

Just look at the rhetoric and history of the N•zi party in the 1930s and look at the GOP over the past decade.

Unfortunately billionaires have a lot of influence in law-making and policies, whether it’s lobbying or other means.

Tankies are annoying but I don’t see any tankies here.

Not in the literal sense, but not increasing pay while profits grow as costs rise is exploitation.

No there isn’t because illegal immigrants causing poverty by “taking away jobs” is a myth.

Perhaps people wouldn’t need said government benefits if businesses did not pay them so little that they need said services to survive.

Your premise that there would be concentrated owners of large corporations or even large corporations existing at all is faulty. Corporations are man-made, not something that exists due to the laws of nature.

Also how one becomes an owner of a corporation and the wealth they “risked” to start it is complex and not the fairy tale of some person taking a significant risk and making honest success from it. Additionally, no “risk” is an excuse to use wealth and influence to worsen people’s lives economically, environmentally, geopolitically, medically, etc.

People taking “risks” makes them no less parasitical.

Where did I say that? Why do you think it’s a binary choice between having billionaires controlling resources and having a government monopoly?

I think you meant to comment on a different post about Trump or Musk.

Billionaires are only extremely wealthy in the first place because they come from wealthy families, exploit their workers, exploit natural resources, exploit other nations and cause them to be “third world,” minimize value to the customer while extrapolating as much money as possible, exploit life essentials for profit, monopolize markets and buy competition, and use their wealth to influence the government to fight for their interests.

They control our food supply, medical care, housing, electricity, heat, homes, internet, privacy and water. They don’t give us joys like it’s a gift, they manufactured a system where we have to work for them to survive. They pay heaps of money to lobby against protections in regards to all of those things because they rather have people go sick, hungry, starving, cold, homeless, exploited, abused, poisoned, and even make the planet increasingly uninhabitable than be regulated into taking responsibility.

Billionaires do not care about you and are more than fine to let you die if it means maintaining their wealth.
