First, Steves finds a way to talk about institutions and oligarchy that is dirt simple:
1. Institutions are PUBLIC WEALTH. They are our shared wealth, dammit.
2. Billionaires can't stand wealth they don't control.
3. So they are going to dismantle our public wealth to better bleed us dry

This. National Parks, Medicaid, Medicare, Museums, Libraries...these are all things we have put OUR money into for decades--
OUR wealth built these. The oligarchs are stealing the things we own.
Yay @ricksteves.bsky.social for putting it into perspective.

This! It's about the for-profit model of caring for your health. Other countries actually put health over profit.
It’s never about healthcare. It’s about insurance plans.

You should take the IRS Direct File survey linked below, but I raised an eyebrow at this question, which is basically "It will cost the US government $10-20 per user to run this service. Do you care?"
I DO NOT CARE, because services like this are *why I pay my taxes*! Take my money, literally!

Amen!
Books don’t change laws. But they do change hearts.
And hearts? They change votes, cultures, legacies.
That’s why we keep writing—even when it hurts.
