Of Course the System is Rigged — Look at Elon Musk!
Musk gave $157 million to Trump’s last election campaign — a clear signal that the system is rigged against us common folk.
From Q-Anon nuttiness to JD Vance’s “Deep State” quackery, wacko right-wing conspiracies have oozed into the center of Republican politics.
But don’t let their goofiness obscure the fact that there is indeed a very real plot to rig America’s economic and political system, causing wealth and power to flow uphill — from the workaday majority to moneyed elites.
This rigging is not done by some cartoonish cabal of ogres in a secret lair, but by prominent artificial intelligence (AI) tech barons and other Poo-Bahs of America’s corporate royalty. They are soft-handed thieves, discreetly robbing us from the cozy confines of corporate boardrooms, ornate courtrooms and legislative backrooms. Why should they dirty their hands in public scuffles with workers, consumers, local communities and others “pests” when they can deploy public officials to do their grub........
