The Epstein Class is the by-product of an economy that emerged over the last two decades, from which this new elite has siphoned off vast amounts of wealth.

People with severe personality disorders can and do get to high places in society, because this society often rewards some of the worst human traits.
It is a mistake thinking that making a lot of money in tech (or other fields) = being a decent human being.

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

Some polls (like NYT) only ask about deportations in abstract without asking if people want to see *noncriminals* removed.
That creates a distorted impression of support for what Trump is doing, allowing pundits to keep pushing idea that Trumpism represents mystical longings of Real American volk:

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.
Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

It's called American English for a reason.
But even the word American is complex.
The word America comes from the Italian explorer AMERIGO Vespucci.
But even this is complex.
At the time there was no "Italy" yet. Vespucci came from the Republic of Florence.
I could go on. 🙂
