Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

The system is rigged.

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this is your fault.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

In case you were wondering, yes, the administration thinks it’s hilarious that Trump supporters are too dumb to realize that tariffs are a tax hike on them.

They’re pushing back because it would also ban the administration from trading stocks.

They’d be fine with limiting Congress, but their own insider trading must continue

This is just going to be applicable pretty much every day from now on.
While I'm definitely worried about the negative impacts of the next administration, I'm more worried about the cover-up of the impact data. Recall that Trump did everything he could to hide COVID data.
