Love politics. Pro-Democracy. A Buddhist.
Don’t like to label others as evil even if they don’t share my views. But dislike politicians that amplify hate. Just a nobody. Not rich. Like everybody else trying to survive.

The Biden administration has taken anti-monopoly action against:

-Amazon
-Apple
-Google
-Facebook
-Live Nation
-JetBlue
-Spirit
-Kroger
-Albertsons

We’ve had years of government forces working on behalf of corporations.

This is what it looks like when they work for the people.

@rbreich I met a blue collar person. He told me President Biden cause inflation. I told him the whole faced with inflation problem. He asked me what is the solution. Is capitalism or socialism the solution? I told him I don’t know. I managed to experience life in different countries and it seems like we don’t have a perfect solutions. I am curious if what can Democrat do to help? It seems like Blue states economy seems worse than Texas, Georgia, etc. Is Republican better?

In the years after Trump's tax cuts, S&P 500 corporations spent $2.72 trillion on stock buybacks to enrich wealthy shareholders. That's more than what they spent on investments in plants and technology to boost production and create jobs. So much for trickling down, huh?

@rbreich Sadly, a lot of Trump supporter that are not rich think that tax is bad. They don't care about stock buy back. We needs to keep educate this people and figure a better messaging.

Trump's second-term promises:

-The largest deportation effort in US history

-Send the National Guard into cities

-Appoint a special prosecutor to go after political opponents

-Purge the federal civil service of anyone who questions his views

Fully unhinged.

@rbreich Sadly, many blue collar of all races would vote for him. Many believes he did better on economy than Biden. I am not sure if they'll care about all the things you listed above. I think Democrats in Washington, Oregon, California needs to focus on creating more blue collar jobs.
