It's got to be nice for some billionaire to donate what to them is pennies just to throw off any support from other semi-thoughtful idealogues and purity seekers.
"The advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart. She does not serve on the board or play any role in decision-making at Walmart," the company said in a statement to CBS MoneyWatch.
Walton has also made clear that she paid for the ad herself, and that it represents her own views.
I 100% believe billionaires shouldn't exist, are a millstone on the neck of society and progress. I'd also support any action that would take care of the problem... But I don't think you link shows much more than a single deplorable person experiencing a twitch of morality.
"Oh shit, we're getting hammered with our Constitutional violations all over the news! We have to do something"
A little thinking, then some genius looks across the room
"Hey!! Hegseth, finish that drink and then go threaten Greenland like the alcoholic Nazi you are. That'll distract them!"
I can't imagine it doing much. I guess people felt good that they aren't alone, but Republicans will continue to ignore the Constitution, and the apathetic majority will probably continue to not vote.

I'm wondering if that guy died.
“There weren’t any campaigns that had failed after they had achieved 3.5% participation during a peak event,” says Chenoweth – a phenomenon she has called the “3.5% rule”.
Me scatching my head thinking,"10% of Hong Kong protested and still got stomped by China's boot." I suppose it could be argued that it's not the same thing.
I had always thought that the Luddites were anti-tech. I'm pretty sure that's what I was taught, decades ago. I found this article an interesting read on the topic. Hmm. Learn something most days.
Seems like that's how it started down here with your southern neighbors. Be careful of the creep from normal level patriotism to nationalism to .
I don't trust people wearing cowboy hats. And I come from a family of cattle ranching cowboys.
For me, personal justice almost has to be punitive. But I'm an asshole. And more importantly, I'm not society, just an insubstantial slice of it. Any study on how to deal with crime shows that punitive measures rarely, if ever, increase the wellness of society. Rehabilitation, understanding, hippie dippy shit, has a much greater positive impact on society, as hard as that may be to stomach. Facts are facts, regardless of feelings.
Reddit was shitty, just because it's people and people suck. But I hung around because...I'm a masochist I guess. I left because of the 3rd party shit. I've never gone back. As that great '80s pop band said,"People are people."
