Important to keep in mind that “one guy’s opinion on what we should privatize” is not something we would need to care about except for the fact that this guy has been able to accumulate $400 billion, which is the underlying problem.
"We should try to privatize everything we possibly can, and that would be my recommendation," Musk said later.

If you haven’t already made a daily habit of calling your reps (especially your GOP reps), it’s a super easy, small step you can take. This app makes it super easy.

Omg. This is a thread. Every one should be appalled. 1/5
