After his complete meltdown last night right here on this platform, esp screaming at the Black women correcting him, when he’s clearly projecting & realizing he’s largely at fault for where we are now…I will never watch nor read anything from this man ever again. That’s not journalism. That’s ego.

Scott Jennings Does not care. Trump does not care The MAGA/QAnon 77 million Voters do not care. The Republican House & Senate do not care. The right wing SCOTUS does not care. The Billionaires do not care. Wall Street Corporations do not care. Project 2025 Christian White Nationalists do not care.

it would seem that our caring is our weakness that can't be right if true, we are all doomed and the planet follows all because we don't care

Reagan was the beginning to this end. Shlock actor reading a script for the Phoenix dark money and conning America. Then Newt, Delay et al opened the doors for businessmen first, statesmen last.

Government is also feeding the beast. For example, Senior Care. It averages $4500.00 a month to take care of a Senior in a nursing home. They give up all of their asset just for average care and those that can't afford it, the Government supplements the cost. It all goes back to Big Companies.

That's wrong. Only some Republicans or some conservatives say that prosperity trickles down.

Read Thomas Piketty. He shows statistical evidence of what happens when the rich get more. Wealth flows upwards, and increasingly in speed.

It's hard to hear mil and billionaires talk about how philanthropic they are when we know most of them just write everything off. And if they have some much extra money, how about paying ones employees more?

It’s systematic in the democracy the US operates From the electoral college to the Senate to gerrymandering to a biased SCOTUS, money = power & so power serves money SCOTUS made that unlimited with Citizens United so now, even with the will of the people, it’s hard to see a democratic way out

I called BS trickle down is BS. It just trickled up since Ronald Reagan and here we are with almost no middle class fighting to just stay where people are.

In the last election, the majority of American voters voted for the sexism and the racism, regardless of the economic costs to themselves. And most of them will do it again in the next election.

It “might” work if the people at the top of the food chain were actually ethical and moral people who didn’t feel the need to grab every penny possible from everyone else before dying. For every Mackenzie Scott who is giving money away. There is a Jeff Bezos doing his best to catch it all.

The only thing that “trickles down” is that we’re all getting pissed on by the ultra-wealthy!

Trickle down is now and always has ben the poor fighting over the crumbs left behind by the rich. Now, they are taking the crumbs too. General strike and stop shopping. Buy grains&seed and set up a home garden indoors and wait it out. Cancel all optional subscriptions from big tech. Go back to 1985.
