    Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind some drastic changes. Just things are never straight forward or simple. Putin would love to see us collapse inward. I think one of the biggest mistakes america ever made wasn’t just citizens united but how cheap it is overall to buy our government. Obviously, government shouldn’t be for sale at all but years of lobbiest and weak political candidates selling out made our politicians dirt cheap and I’m always surprised to see what it cost to buy in.

    Like I look at elon musk, he spent what, $100,000,000? He makes that like what, every 3 hours? Now he gets unfettered access to everything, jesus.

    We need to start somewhere. I’ve seen enough protests to know they haven’t peaked yet. I think a general strike could really put some fear in these capitalists hearts. End of the day, though, we can’t worry about putin, and that sucks for the rest of the world but man we are somehow taking a beating. Not to overshadow what Ukraine is going through.
