Because it needs to be said, Musk and fascist republicans are deliberately crashing the economy so people lose their businesses, homes and land in order for billionaires to buy out all land and property that would’ve never been sold to them otherwise. They want to own everything.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.

Why do we always hear “we can’t afford to pay our workers more” but never “we can’t afford to pay our CEO more”?

When Elon Musk says we need to cut “entitlements,” he’s talking about the Social Security and Medicare that YOU paid into.

At the exact same time, Trump and Republicans are pushing to spend TRILLIONS on tax cuts for the rich.

They’re stealing from you to give to billionaires.

“Efficiency” for billionaires just means “less money for the poor”. They making their businesses more “efficient” by cutting salaries.

They will make social security more “efficient” by paying out less. They will make medicare more “efficient” by covering less. It never ends.

Is a generation “not growing up?” Or are Americans being denied economic mobility? When wages are low and rent is high, people have student loans and the cost of childcare is unaffordable, this will create a problem.
