  • Fuck Trump, but this one is a bipartisan effort that has been ongoing since the Clinton administration accelerated the deregulation train. There has also been very little action towards anti-competitive practices for a very long time.

    Don’t get suckered into a red vs blue mindset here. This is a battle against corporate and billionaire abuse of power.

    EDIT: If I am being honest, I was all onboard the deregulation train back in the nineties. I was young and ignorant. I never imagined the damage it would bring.















  • If you really hate Elon Musk, I have two words for you. “Thanks Obama”

    Every single aspect of Elon’s “success” has been heavily subsidized or paid for by the US government (aka, tax payers).

    EDIT: It seems the “Thanks Obama” meme has fallen into obscurity. It is an older joke in which everything was blamed on Obama, no matter how far fetched. I even used italics.

    The point of my comment is that Elon is the biggest “welfare” beneficiary in history. All of his businesses would be a financial failure without billions of dollars in grants, benefits and contracts from the government, and that he’s been sucking on that government teet since Obama was in office. In fact, it was Obama who saved Tesla, hence the 'Thanks Obama" joke. Even Obama is aware and why the crashing Teslas scene is in the Netflix movie he produced. Now Elon is looking for federal assistance to block his competition.
