”All three of these men [Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk & Mark Zuckerberg] were in the first row at Trump’s inauguration. They, and other billionaires, have now exposed themselves for what they are. … They are supporting a tyrant who is promising them tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks that will make them even richer… When billionaires take control of our communication channels, it’s not a win for free speech.”

It’s the oligarchy, stupid.

Friends,

Robert Reich
“When billionaires take control of our communication channels, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for their billionaire propaganda. When they talk of “personal liberties and free markets,” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful, as the rest of America slides into worse economic insecurity and fear. When they speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.”
