Glass Onion: the Not-So-Hidden Political Clues (Spoiler Alert!)
1) Murder of a Black woman whose name rhymes with Sandra Bland (HELLO)
2) Murder takes place same week as George Floyd (see Whiskey’s bday)
3) Justice only comes & ppl wake up after rioting / property destruction
4) Even when Miles (the white capitalist power structure) is exposed in front of everyone, and burns the evidence in plain sight, mainstream America — the celebrity, politician and scientist — STILL side with him … at first. Too afraid & dependent

The project to take a single picture of a black hole 55 millions years away cost $60 million. There's no immediate profit to be made from the discovery. It couldnt have happened if the scientists had to justify their work on the basis of commodities to be sold on the market
Or if they were beholden to private investors & quarterly earnings reports. It required public funding to liberate science from the bounds of profit. Or it wouldnt have happened. Nor could it have happened without deep international coordination (including with Russia and China)
