This is ad hoc. The rich know the average person doesn't want Nazism/cultism. They're the ones running Nazi cult group chats. Elon Musk is literally running a cult called The Noetic Order. The intent is to brainwash people into modern day slavery.
It works - cultists haven't sold their Nazi Teslas.

They have sincerely convinced themselves that the average person wants Nazism. They hang out in group chats where Nazism is based and cool and they’ve been convinced this is a popular agenda

It’s kinda wild how modern ultra wealthy people missed the memo that if you build trains and libraries and museums and fund the arts people are generally less likely to want you dead?

Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too.

Sorry to hear Ferguson Brewing is closing. I had some surreal moments during the Uprising, sitting behind national and international reporters who were writing their stories in the summer of 2014.

It is also a lifeline to small businesses owners who have less than 25 employees, because several insurance companies stopped offering health insurance to them, and the few who do have astronomical pricing.

It’s just destroying small businesses who do a lot of international shipping. Along with the average $74 tariff fees for a small package coming into the USA.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.
