Maybe we should have a conversation about how a billionaire is president, other billionaires are considering challenging him, and another billionaire regularly sends rockets into space.
And maybe we could have that conversation while driving through a town with a boarded up Main Street, shuttered factories, multiple vape shops, and populated with people crushed under the weight of medical debt.
And maybe take a spin by a dilapidated school that can’t afford heat for the students who aren’t fed and are facing six-figure college loan debt.
And, I don’t know, visit some people dying misery deaths who are so used up by their labor and shoddy healthcare that they’re addicted to street drugs because another billionaire got them addicted to their drug and bled them dry.
I don’t know. Maybe I’m the only one tired of articles that report the world-shaking ambitions of billionaires without questioning how literally insane this.
We’ve got a billionaire trying to colonize Mars and make himself immortal, but we can’t fix basic education?
We’ve got billionaires squaring off to decide who can best run the government like a business while everyone forgets corporations profit obscenely because they forget to help people.
This is obscene. That’s the only word for it. Obscene.
