I’d subscribe to your OnlyFans, but Trickle-Down economics has ruined any chance of me being able to retire before lunch the day of my funeral. #gaymastodon

“Nobody rides transit in L.A…”
There is even a busker playing guitar on the subway car. #metrolosangeles #losangeles #transit #SoCalTransit

We could have “maximum wage ratios” such as requiring that the highest paid employee making no more than 20 times than the lowest paid, rather than 400 to 1.
In rigged-market capitalism, CEO’s sit on each others Boards of Directors and approve each others escalating pay & bonuses while calling the workers who produce the goods and services that make their wealth “greedy” and complain that “no one wants to work anymore.”
We could also have tax and regulatory policies that rebalance the economy.

I worry that Musk is both a Putin asset and that U.S. national security has become dependent on his whims.
Public goods like national security should never be dependent on private businesses.

What a horrible nightmare. I dreamed I was trapped in Saw-like film.
“No, actually, I don’t want to play a game, thanks. I’d like to go home.”

Is #FireFish down?

Before you run over to #BlueSky, just know that Jack Dorsey agrees with Elon Musk on ending "blocking".
We're going to find out that these two have had some crypto plot this whole time.

Donald Trump now has the EGOT of criminality.

Growing up Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher told us that capitalism went hand in hand with freedom and democracy.
Today we can see that capitalists can quite comfortably walk hand in hand with authoritarianism and fascism to maintain and consolidate their wealth and power.

There is no First Amendment right to plan, plot, and attempt a coup to overturn an election, declare martial law, and keep yourself in power.
Just as there is no Second Amendment right to commit a mass shooting with an AR-15.

@npub1edc…0q44 I hope the DoJ goes after the members of Congress who were in on the attempted coup.

@npub1pqk…z65u @npub1hu5…m84y They will go to BlueSky. Wasn't that the original idea?

After all that fierce debate over #[0] versus a #[1], we haven't even closed the #[2] coverage gap in the red states, and now Republicans want to gut #[3] entirely (and would gut #[4] and the #[5] if they thought they could get away with it).
Yes, I know there is a limited Medicare drug pricing bill that was passed, but it is so little compared to what we hoped for in 2000.
