We really need to tax the mega rich. I compiled this list of numbers after the President speech last night, it's kinda wild:

$            99,000 - National Median Income is less than $100 thousand.
$         1,000,000 - 1 Million Dollars.
$       485,000,000 - Cut Funds to International Relations and whatever.
$     1,000,000,000 - 1 Billion Dollars. There are over 400 Billionaires in America.
$    22,000,000,000 - Cut Funds to American Social Serivces through HHS (Human & Health Services).
$   244,000,000,000 - Elon Musks Net Worth.
$ 1,620,000,000,000 - 1 Trillion Dollars - Meta (Facebooks) Corporate Net Worth.
$19,900,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2017 (Obama to Trump)
$27,800,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2021 (Trump to Biden)
$36,000,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2025 (Biden to Trump)

Yup it's really the clear solution but when the ultra rich control the government then it won't happen.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Every time I scroll past this image, that’s the line that gets me. Bold threatening declaration by fascist dictator, then ends like a work email reminding you not to leave food in the cafeteria fridge over the weekend.

That's because he thinks he's been reasonable. Which is a terrifying thought

There are manifestation which are legal, even with masks, in the US

They would say "look he has an American flag. I see nothing but a peaceful protest by true patriots"..

I hate myself for typing that given the context of that vile picture.

Trump has a team of scientists sitting in a lab cooking up the worst possible tweet in response to every issue.

I used to be the pride of my family for having finished college. Now it's demonized by them.

I feel for the students of today. College was an important time for me. I experienced a lot of new ideas, my mind was opened. I didn't get to do much in grad school, but my first four years of college changed me and I wouldn't be the same without those experiences. The way the situation is escalating we may see colleges completely locked down or even abolished.

Checks fascist handbook. Jup. Checks out.

[-] Fontasia@feddit.nl 62 points 19 hours ago

Then they came from the students, and I watched my parents still beg for more fascism because they thought they were going to be billionaires any day now
