Elon Musk is now a trillionaire. More specifically, his net worth is $1.2 trillion or $1200 billion. That number doesn’t even compute for most of us, so here is some helpful context: The USDA needs $18.8 billion to feed every child in the US school system breakfast and lunch each day. Elon could pay for that 64x and still have money leftover. The World Food Program needs $13 billion to feed the 110 million hungriest people on earth. Elon could pay for that 92x and still have money leftover. The National Alliance to End Homelessness needs $9.6 billion to provide housing for every unhoused person in the United States. Elon could pay for that 125x and still have money leftover. The average American teacher makes $74,495 per year. Elon could pay the annual salary of over 16 million teachers and still have money leftover. The problem is not that we don’t have enough money. The problem is that we have built a world where one person can accumulate more wealth than the GDP of 180 countries while children go hungry, families drown in medical debt, teachers are forced to buy school supplies for their students, and people sleep on the streets. This is a complete moral failure.

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

- 745k are homeless in the US - medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy - over 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck - bottom 80% of Americans have just 7% of the wealth Yet this criminal is now a trillionaire. We’re a failed country.

Republicans calling Bernie Sanders (a Jew who lost family in the holocaust) a nazi, when they quite literally are sending immigrants to concentration camps to be tortured and raped on a daily basis. Subhuman filth. Scum of the earth.

Nothing more Israel than holding Muslims hostage

This is a radical change to immigration policy, forcing anyone applying for a green card to leave the country indefinitely, forget whether they have American kids, spouse, etc. The talking point that we do want legal immigration, we just want people to get in line and follow the rules, is BS. This is an attempt to blow up the line, blow up the rules, and make it insanely difficult to immigrate legally.

Can't raise minimum wage because it will kill jobs. Can't raise taxes on the bourgeoisie class because it will kill jobs. Can't ditch oil because it will kill jobs. But when these companies replace 50% of their workforce with AI, it's "sorry, that's just the way it goes."

The blockade is illegal. Starving Cubans is unnecessary and immoral. This blatant pretext for war is absurd.
