Never related so hard to a scene from White Lotus.

*Shoots self in foot* pt. 2

It is clearly asinine how—
Literally and metaphorically—
They slaughter our hens and cows
To break for billionaires
Who hoard greedily
As plague and famine abound.
What the hell can we do now ?

*Shoots self in foot* pt. 1

I have a hard time believing
The adjustments they are making
Are authentically relieving
Our government of meaningful financial bleeding.

Let's be clear.

All these tech billionaires like Bezos and Musk and Zuckerberg didn't become right wingers because of some ideological awakening -- or because of "wokeness."

It's because they're BILLIONAIRES and they want to avoid taxes.

That's it. It's the MONEY.

Hindsight

In high school,
A few of my friends were Obsessed with this boy.
He had a terrible personality, Bragged about his first sexual encounter, a prostitute—
a gift from his father—
and said all the right things.
He gave them all chlamydia.
That is what it feels like to watch Fox News.

Who wanted this?

Genuinely curious—
I’m asking for a friend.
Who wanted the mass layoffs
and USAID to end?
I understand your values are
“Me first”, “Not mine”,
“Never a hand to lend”,
but when richest man on earth
rips pennies from the poorest,
your hypocrisy offends.
