😡 McMahon was probably thinking to herself, “what’s a Tulsa massacre?“ How the hell did our country end up being run by a complete collection of stupid, ignorant, incompetents?
😐
Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre?

McMahon: I’d have to get back to you

Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is?

McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

Somehow, I picture Scrooge McDuck diving into a swimming pool full of money...🙄

Wealth is power. When so few people have so much more power than everyone else, with no personal accountability or restraints, we don't have a democracy, but an oligarchy.

How does it feel to be a serf?
The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people just passed $2 TRILLION.

12 people. $2 trillion.

The bottom half of America collectively holds $3.5 trillion.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
America's 12 richest men now worth a combined $2 trillion
Their net worth is less than $2 trillion short of the wealth of the bottom half of the U.S.
