Elon Musk appointed 19-year-old Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, the grandson of a KGB lieutenant colonel to DOGE. He was instrumental in cutting funding for the United States Agency for International Development, which directly resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of poor people overseas.

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.

If that was true, billionaires would not exist.
They do, because capitalism has morphed into monipolism. Without redistributive tax, it'll only get worse.
