During Pres. Biden's farewell speech this week the number of Google searches for "oligarchy" skyrocketed.
A professor at St. Thomas University in New Brunswick made this video to explain oligarchy.

This is a letter that one of the kindest humans I have gotten to meet in my life has sent to the #biden administration in response to his #FarewellSpeech about #tiktok and the myriad failures of the #dnc 1/?

Seeing as you have turned off the ability to email you directly, I am sending this here. How ironic that the only place to get in contact with the President of the United States is through a billionaire’s app - one of the oligarchy you warned of in your speech this evening!

President Biden:

TikTok is NOT the problem in this country.
Corruption, an idolization of Money as God, and the erosion of Democracy from these two, is.

With the banning of TikTok, thousands of American small businesses will be out of the job. It will tank the amazing economy that your Presidency may one day be known for. It will ruin lives. Your focus on removing an app that allows the American people to connect, learn, and feel empowered both with and by one another is, literally, insanity. “There are national security concerns” is a joke of a statement considering you have allowed Donald Trump to find his way into office again.

Have you heard the song by OCT? It’s a great one! Super catchy and summarizes the ridiculousness that is you banning TikTok instead of focusing on actual problems of every day Americans.

“Working in government is truly the best
Particularly the House of Representatives
I walk in everyday to work on my desk
And I say “Not today, I've got bigger fish to fry”
Heightened racial tensions
The electoral college rigs elections
The crisis in the East
Drugs in the food we eat
But if you're asking me the biggest problem is TikTok

's not global warming
It’s not access to healthcare, welfare, boring!
Corruption at the top
Citizens getting shot
With all that's going on
Right now’s the perfect time for banning

TikTok Baby!
We’re coming for your TikTok Baby! No No!
The most important problems TikTok Baby!
We’re coming for you TikTok Baby! For sure!

And I know we swore an oath to keep your
liberties safe
but we see the stuff you’re posting online
TikTok’s an open public discourse
And you're dragging our name
And it really hurts
But whats even worse
Is we don't see a dime

Don’t go Joe! Don’t leave us..! Stay! Stay!
