I keep coming around to these questions:

How will they stay rich if there is no one to buy their products or use their social media platforms or pay for their services? If we're all so poor we can't buy food or pay for housing, then we won't be able to buy new cell phones or pay for internet service or streaming services. What data will they sell and to whom if there are no users to data mine and manipulate on social media? If our economy crashes, there will be no tax revenue for them to stuff into their pockets. Why take a strong economy and millions of people who are lining their pockets and turn them into slave labor? Slave labor for what? Who is buying the fruits of this labor? None of this makes any sense. Are they just too myopic to grok that they'll be shooting themselves in the feet?

The only karmic justice is, if they succeed, they'll be stuck with each other. What could possibly be worse than that?

The US fascists know that if people rise up, they are done. The whole reason orange man is flooding the world with his demented actions is to overwhelm and confuse. Remember shock and awe! That’s what he’s doing to ensure that we are fractured and running in 100 different directions. Start with February 28: full economic blackout. Do not buy anything, do not use Amazon, do not use social media. Today, boycott brands that have capitulated to his anti DEI initiatives. Remember his anti DEI executive nonsense is not a law. These companies did not need to diminish their support for equity! They are private and can do what they want.
