Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, itโs a warning.

But if the government start taxing the likes of Starbucks & they leave, Are we seriously saying that Britain will stop drinking coffee?
ยฃ3 billion in UK sales & they don't want to pay tax?
It's time to get of the merry-go-round & use our smaller, local retailers who will pay their taxes.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

At least 30 individual or corporations who have given over $116M to Trump and his super PAC have received regulatory favors from the Trump White House.
That includes Big Tobacco companies, Pharma giants, and crypto moguls like the Winklevoss twins.
Pay-to-play corruption.

Epstein's survivors today spoke out again. They have stated that they are working with lawmakers to change the system that protects Pedophiles. Also they stated that if names don't show up they will let it be known. They are tired of how society views teens and rape. They are tired of threats.

Hospitals, insurers, drug companies & private-equity backed provider networks all make a lot of money from our healthcare system & they all lobby against Medicare for All.
The question isnโt โwhy donโt we have Medicare for All?โ Itโs โwho exactly would lose money if we did?โ
