“480 Minutes” - Too Many Billionaires

Oct 6

Congressional Republicans continue to do damage to democracy in general & U.S. democracy in particular. Daily they provide fodder bolstering Putin TV’s anti-democracy propaganda campaign. As if the dysfunction & paralysis weren’t enough, they are also trying to block U.S. aid to Ukraine which, as you might imagine, is Vlad The Impaler’s top priority at the moment. It’s all so obvious & sad that the mainstream media cannot seem to put two & two together, much less present this reality to those who rely on them to do just that.

Millions of people wrapped in the American flag & millions more thumping bibles remain in thrall of their vulgar orange cult leader despite confirmation that President Bone Spurs despises military members who gave their lives and/or limbs in service of their country.

This week we learned from the stolen classified documents case that Trump blabbed military secrets to an Australian billionaire at Mar-A-Lago. Said billionaire apparently shared this information with 45 other people. Somehow what shocked me most about the story is that said billionaire is ranked just 163rd on the list of World’s Richest People despite being worth upwards of $11B. That means that 162 individual humans have each horded more than $11B of global wealth yet there’s still no cure for cancer, the planet is running out of potable water, & we still don’t have flying cars that fold up into briefcases at the push of a button. WTAF?
