The fact that Jeff Bezos increased his wealth by $13 billion in 1 day during a pandemic, while his employees struggle to make ends meet and 50 million Americans are filing for unemployment, tells you a great deal about how our economy is rigged in favor of the billionaire class.
What a hypocrite. Elon Musk has received billions in corporate welfare from U.S. taxpayers. Now he wants to stop 30 million Americans who lost jobs from receiving $600 a week in unemployment benefits, while his wealth has gone up by $46.7 billion over the past 4 months. Pathetic.
“Then Mr. Upshaw, 33, saw that his utility bill from Griddy had risen to more than $6,700. He usually pays about $80 a month this time of year.” Deregulation, consumer-choice, market-regulation, free-markets look like this in practice for ordinary people. nytimes.com/2021/02/20/us/…
Imagine being less than 24 hours out from losing your loved one(s) and hearing law enforcement defend their murderer by saying “He was fed up, at the end of his rope...yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did.” That feels like an additional hate crime.
