Yeah, heading towards just taking it all, and leaving them destitute, and if they don’t like it, they can think about it in prison, if they’re lucky to survive that long.

They enjoy their wealth at the pleasure of the Citizens, and those who don’t handle their wealth responsibly, will have it removed.

That’s not a good argument, most of them ARE born into it.

Let’s make this Sociopathic Oligarch understand that his…sort…are the only group left for which BULLYING is totally allowed, and strongly encouraged.

Fuck these loser snowflakes, all the money in the world, and they’re whining because we aren’t nice enough to them, poor people get all the breaks, it’s just not fair.

He’s really not going like “Eat The Rich.”

Valid. Media Manipulation is the name of the game right now, but that’s so inefficient. You throw out a bunch of propaganda, and hope something gets traction.

Soon, Data Manipulation will be more important. They’ll start tracking all your date points, and soon they’ll find something they can manipulate you over. They’ll find some obscure crime to leverage you with, like a wrong statement on a Federal form interpreted as a deliberate lie, rather than a confused wrong answer. Or they’ll identify patterns, and create laws to make those patterns a crime, and get you on that.

They’ll threaten your family, job, your healthcare, your money, your home, your freedom, and they’ll eventually get you to dance to their tune.

The only math class I ever enjoyed was a college statistics class which actually made sense to me. So I spent my life reading polls, always checking the sample size and the margin of error, because I knew how important those are to accuracy, etc. But that same knowledge also served to let me know that modern polls are becoming horsehit.

I remember hearing Rush Limbaugh telling his listeners to either refuse to take polls, or to lie on them and say the opposite. He, and others, taught MAGAs to disrespect polls (cuz polls are the enemy of predatory politics).

Also, many of the “pollsters” are MAGA operatives in disguise. Add unreliable pollsters to unreliable respondents, and you end up with a weird poll that doesn’t reflect reality at all.

I no longer enjoy tracking polls. Too many of them have been games.

I inherited my grandfather’s robber baron fortune, I’m a GENIUS!

If they are told it will make a LOT of money, they will believe literally anything. Then it’s up to the rest of us to either work, or sacrifice, to make it happen. Likely both.

LIGHT THE SENTINELS!

That phone was FIRE! No, that’s not right…

I threw it INTO a fire! That’s what happened. I was really drunk, but I still made that lucid decision. I saw a fire, and thought “You know what belongs in that fire?”
