i don't know why torture myself, but when i'm in my car, i often listen to the radio because i don't feel like dicking around with my phone. so i end up listening to npr. it is the worst political news coverage besides maybe fox news.

they were discussing the impact billionaires have on politics in the US. they laughed that sure billionaires give a lot of money, but they're not more powerful than voters.

they never mentioned media consolidation in the hands of billionaires. they control what people actually think.

musk literally bought bird app to destroy it as a platform to organize politically, unless you're a fascist, then bird app is great.

how many voters get to meet with presidents in the white house to voice their concerns? billionaires get to do that.

billionaires literally run the country, but npr thinks it's funny and really voters are in charge.

the npr analysis is superficial and nothing more than whitewashing the influence billionaires have over our lives.
