These giant content creation and delivery corporations depend upon talent. Most of which, I suspect, is strongly opposed to what's going on. The writers and techs and actors that actually generate value for these companies need to strike or otherwise stop working. Hit those companies in the $$$.

"Shafted" in the style of Shaka Zulu and Vlad the Impaler. Hard to understand how people fail to notice that!

This largely applied to W, as well (although much chaos was avoided by a functional bureaucracy). What's missing in this list, and really amplifies all of it, is "sociopathy". Incompetence tied up with malignancy is something we've never seen before. Trump revels in the pain he causes.

Billionaires don't need incomes, so an income tax doesn't fix anything. That's why we need an asset tax. And if they borrow against assets, that should force realization (and income taxation) of those assets.

It's essential math. But that said... maybe the way it's taught to those who will spend their careers applying such equations (many physicists) dictates a different teaching approach than would make sense for those who are interested in the theory (mathematicians).

If we're going to use a single descriptor, I'm inclined to go with "plutocracy" over "oligarchy". Not that they're mutually exclusive.

The dates given are highly speculative, from a paper that identifies apparent timing based on the orbital period of the two stars. Interesting, but very iffy. A dip in brightness was observed before the 1946 eruption, and again last year, but we're probably outside that window. So nobody knows.
