Everyone talking about billionaires and how they endorse, support, finance, fund, hold lotteries to influence an election and everyone still thinks they exist in a democracy.
It's an oligarchy or a plutocracy
Call it whatever you want ... but it certainly isn't a democracy
File this under "why billionaires should not exist".
I saw the first three words of this post and was like, "HOLY SHIT! FINALLY!!"
Dude, same. I almost wanted to stop reading there.
Loving the 8k+ comments of people cancelling their subscription.
Putin overseeing:
Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Trump, The entire GOP.
Nooooooo but there's no record of him donating money to trump's campaign therefore he can't be said to be supporting truuuuuuuump Noooooooooo
Coward is afraid of Trump exacting retribution if he wins. Fucking megacoward.
Key pull quote from TFA:
Post chief executive Will Lewis, in an online explanation of the decision, wrote, “The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election. Nor in any future presidential election.”
“We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates,” Lewis wrote.
“We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility,” he wrote. “That is inevitable. We don’t see it that way. We see it as consistent with the values The Post has always stood for and what we hope for in a leader: character and courage in service to the American ethic, veneration for the rule of law, and respect for human freedom in all its aspects.”
What a fuckin hypocrite. I hope he stubs his toe really really hard, then steps on a lego.
The Richest People on EARTH supporting Trump is PROOF that the Middle Class will be BETTER under Trump! Jeff Bezos and Elon Dipshit are KNOWN to Treat their Workers EXTREMELY WELL!
Seize his assets, and if he complains beat him up until he ends up in a wheelchair.
If Idocracy is a documentary, what does that make Elysium? It seems like we are headed that way more and more.

It's not just about taxes. It's about maintaining his status as an oligarch.
