I was wondering why the Democratic leadership doesn't like this candidate, then I read this and now I understand.

"Platner, an oyster farmer and political novice, has made fighting against oligarchy the centerpiece of his Senate campaign, and he has repeatedly called attention to the class divide as the biggest problem in the US."

@twosky2000 @david_chisnall The #US economic system barely resembles #capitalism. It is some kind of amalgamation of an #oligarchy fueled by debt and weapons. The next level of revenue comes from oil and digital assets the latter of which nobody really knows the value of. Then there is some actual capitalism. Then there is more government spending to support white supremacists who have no value-added skills beyond kidnapping and harassing brown people.

For a moment yesterday, #ElonMusk wealth hit $500 billion - the first person ever to reach that number. Remember the great comparison for context: a million seconds is 11.5 days, a billion seconds is nearly 32 years. Uh-huh. And #Musk has almost half a trillion dollars, and is poised with his proposed #Tesla compensation package to go much, much higher. Over a trillion perhaps. Using the same comparison, if one million is 11.5 days, a trillion is 31,700 years. Let that sink in. A number so big it’s hard to imagine. This is sick, disgusting on every level. If there ever was a posterboi for #TaxTheRich it’s #Elon. The #oligarchy is not only alive and well, it’s thriving - at OUR EXPENSE. #wealth #inequity

We felt there was a need for a clear overview of global problems, interrelationships, and the necessity of the Fediverse @Mastodon -so we created it. Since the German version was well received, we have now added an English version.
The same post had hardly any reach on #instagram -Who's surprised?
What do you say, how much #democracy and how much #oligarchy is there in the world we all live in?
How does #excessivewealth threaten democracy?
