Texas going to war with Illinois - due to Illinois refusing to submissively kiss the ring of federal authoritarianism - certainly puts the Republican Party's whole 'state's rights' 'agenda' into perspective.🙄

"And here’s the deeper horror: this cruelty only works if the rest of us look away. If we allow ourselves to get used to it. If we let the raids blend into the background noise of the news cycle."

🧵6/6 BTW: These SAME Private Equity Firms are responsible for closing hospitals/small businesses across the country.

So. 'What benefits' are 'we the people' - as a society - gaining by providing the ultra-wealthy with this responsibility-free, cushy, privileged lifestyle?

TAX the BILLIONAIRES!

🧵5/6 Our tax dollars used to cover costs of maintaining/expanding their businesses.

They use dollars 'saved' to buy up housing across the United States.

They then raise rents by insane amounts (to gain more unsustainable-profits) thus creating a 'housing crisis' forcing elderly into the streets
worthnoting.bsky.social
🧵4/6 Example of the ultra wealthy: Individuals who own Private Equity Firms.

The SAME Private Equity Firms who have/are buying up residential housing throughout the United States and artificially escalating rents (regardless of housing locations) using collusion-enabling software like RealPage.

🧵3/6 Yet despite BILLIONS of $$$s in welfare routinely received - ultra wealthy not only MAINTAIN THEIR 'DIGNITY' - they are revered.

Buying yachts etc. with riches gained via unsustainable-profit-gaining practices.

While costs of maintaining/expanding their businesses are paid via our tax dollars
worthnoting.bsky.social
🧵2/6 Corporate welfare provided to those with an abundance of $$$s.

Those fully capable of paying their own 'costs of doing business'.

Corporate welfare: Government financial assistance, subsidies, tax breaks, or other favorable policies provided to private businesses or specific industries.

🧵1/6 First time homeless seniors are dying on the streets of the United States due to insanely escalating rents.

But sure, use our structures of government to provide even more $$$s for billionaires.
