The US billionaire techbros' space adventures continue.

While Musk still fancies Mars as an escape plan from a dying earth, Jeff Bezos is about to launch his fiance, the heavily botoxed Lauren Sanchez, and five other women including Katy Perry (WTF?) into some sort of PR stunt / low orbit joyride.

If Bezos paid tax this stunt would be fully tax deductible, of course.

Would it be cynical to wish them all a rapid unscheduled disassembly?

Naomi Klein & Astra Taylor on 'The rise of end times fascism'.

How US techbros are teaming with eugenicists & religious fundamentalists to isolate themselves from the end times. Survivalism for the super-wealthy.

Trump's creating 10 “freedom cities” on federal lands. No regulation, no taxes, only billionaires need apply. Seasteading moves onto land.

The people who are destroying our planet are making serious plans for the apocalypse.

Why are billionaires?

In today's episode of 'End of the US Empire' Larry Ellison wants to put all American's data, including health records & DNA, into a big Oracle system for AI to "study".

Of course the ultimate goal is constant, real-time surveillance of a population, which Ellison suggests will keep everyone "on their best behavior." How's that working out for the Uyghurs then?

Lord save us from US eugenicist nazi billionaires.

People across the country are fed up with both parties bowing down to billionaires. They want to tax the rich now. They want to keep Social Security and expand Medicare. They are sick and tired of corporate greed running rampant in our policy-making.
In a democracy, power should be in the hands of workers, community members, and democratically accountable representatives—not billionaires who are trying to enrich themselves at our expense. —Rashida Tlaib, congresswoman. #USPol #USPolitics #politics #democracy #Billionaires #TaxBillionaires #equity #ClassWar #PowerToThePeople

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick thinks those who complain about missing Social Security checks are probably criminals. That’s insane.

We are free today substantially, but the day will come when our Republic will be an impossibility. It will be an impossibility because wealth will be concentrated in the hands of a few. A Republic cannot stand upon bayonets, and when the day comes when the wealth of the nation will be in the hands of a few, then we must rely upon the wisdom of the best elements in the country to readjust the laws of the nations to the changed conditions.

—James Madison

“Senior tax officials are bracing for a sharp drop in revenue collected this spring, as an increasing number of individuals and businesses spurn filing their taxes or attempt to skip paying balances owed to the Internal Revenue Service,” the Washington Post reports.

“Treasury Department and IRS officials are predicting a decrease of more than 10 percent in tax receipts by the April 15 deadline compared with 2024.”
