Free enterprise vs free press.
I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

Billionaires and democracy are contradictory by definition. No person should have so much power in a democracy. They are the ones attacking freedoms. Unlimited corporate freedom kills the people's freedoms.

You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity
