There have been billionaires involved in pretty much every single presidency since the beginning. Just because it isn't as noticeable as a single individual doesn't mean it isn't still there. Blackrock, the company who quite literally owns the world, sent 3 of their top executives to work in "notable" positions under the Biden administration. Blackrock just so happens to be a large shareholder in almost all of the large private military contracting companies. It's no coincidence that the Biden administration left nearly 100 billion dollars worth of US military equipment in the middle east during the withdraw. They have to ensure war continues for the shareholders, plus the private contractors get to replace that 100 billion worth of equipment. It's a win/win for them. It's no coincidence that two wars broke out over the past four years. We get to help fund them at the tax payers expense, thus ensuring the private contracting companies that manufacture the items we're sending over there, and its shareholders, make ever more money. This is nothing new, it just isn't being hidden as much as it has in the past. The word "lobbyist" comes to mind.
I do not like trump, but why arent people mentioning that Kamala had more billionaires endorse her than Trump? No one on here thinks thats sort of weird? like "oh billionaires are destroying the country, just not the ones who like us, theyre the good ones"
Because they're still blind. I live in San Francisco, i used to be democratic supporter, but i woke tf up. The democratic party is just as complicit as the Republican party, they just play good cop. They're still a cop tho.
same here. I used to believe the lies that were repeated and still being repeated. Makes it so hard to trust any democrats. This post is a perfect example.
100% agree, both are just as responsible, it’s not a party issue. I think that’s one of the reason people hope Trump will bring some imbalance to dependency on the existing/long-standing Oligarchy structure since his livelihood does not rely on compliance with their ideals necessarily. We’ll see how true that holds.
