“The homes that we bought were pieces of crap,” the billionaire told the reporter. “I couldn’t imagine living in any of them.”

Yet Cargill's words remind us that the billionaire class is... not like us. Its members operate in a parallel reality, one where investing in lavish doomsday bunkers makes more sense than using their de facto infinite resources to... I don't know... snuff out myriad real-world crises."

I will say it over and over, time and time again. The driver of gentrification in my city and state is property taxes tied to the market value of your home. We need real tax reform and roll back assessment values to purchase price. #texaspropertytaxes #displacement #CapitalismDestroys

If the US really cared about national security we wouldn’t have outsourced manufacturing and microchip tech to China. Now that we’re not going to do that (which is an embargo - an act of hostility) we’re going to see some shit. Chinese intelligence is running circles around our CIA as well. It’s never been about national security for the American people. It’s about profit…even with the libs. #CapitalismDestroys #capitalism
