Hey look over there, Cuba is gonna do something that should scare you! So we gotta focus on that! /S

Yeah I loved hmt but I really think this show is better, I love the backstories, the shift to seeing the inside culture, how the brainwashing and loyalty tests work.

Not until you're rich enough to launder your wealth with it

Yep. They've been enacting their "dollars equal votes" agenda since the 70s, and finally got it fully implemented, after decades of yo-yoing corporate/wealthy wants vs plurality rights and policy needs. The wealthy have always opted for profits over the greater good, and this President even alluded to knowing it when he was asked as a much younger man which party he'd run for as President and he said republican because their voters are stupid. he knows the conservative machine is a con game that only grind up rubes to increase profits at the expense of the nation and general well being of the future.

That, and they grossly underpay their workers, including by undoing the American tradition of subsidizing wages with benefits like healthcare, vacation time, childcare, education, etc. - healthcare shouldn't be tied to one's work load, but if it's going to be taken away, they should be paid by law enough to avoid falling on the state or emergency rooms or death avoidably, needlessly because billionaires want as much profit as possible at the expense of their worker's welfare.

If a company and their owners are paying too little to their workers, if too many are on welfare, can't afford healthcare or the basic needs, the company and owners should be penalized so hard they are compelled to do what's right for the society they benefit and profit from though that labor and use of resources. If they fail, break up the company, sell it off, or close it down - just don't make the penalty a rounding error that becomes just the cost of doing business as usual.

Well at least the government and big tech companies have a perfect record of keeping sensitive private data safe! /S

The funny part is it would be more profitable than what's happening now as the ultra wealthy have convinced a majority of voters to keep wages low, keep taxes low for the wealthy, higher for the non wealthy, turn the US into a purely service and gig economy, and so now the economic system is slowing and grinding to a halt as fewer and fewer people can participate in all sectors, from necessities to leisure spending.

Every day is taco day!
