Both of these things can be true. You can't discount the rich and their ability to do evil in multiple dimensions with one choice.
You also have to consider the audience Trump is trying to please. Who is going to pull more people? Steve Mnuchin talking about Trump glowingly or a clown wrestler that Trump's fans remember as a childhood hero backing their pick?
As someone who frequently interacts with the tech illiterate, no they don't. This sudden rush to put weighed text hallucination tables into everything isn't that helpful. The hype feels like self driving cars or 3D TVs for those of us old enough to remember that. The potential for damage is much higher than either of those two preceding fads and cars actually killed poeple. I think many of us are expressing a healthy level of skepticism toward the people who need to sell us the next big thing and it is absolutely warranted.
In this vein, I saw a comment on Lemmy that speaks to this. I'm paraphrasing but it really woke me up. The person said that Americans choose on edge cases and not standard use case. I realized I felt that way about ICE cars vs EV and I am a cyclist. It is amazing how we can have blinders on.
While good for now, he wants the legislation to go back on the drawing board to make it more bulletproof for the inevitable court battle. This is a break in the fighting. We didnt win the war.
I'm about five miles from my work with OK bike infrastructure to get there. My problem is every dickhead rolling coal on a lifted F350 seems to think I'm worth 500 points.

I don't identify as a communist. I just don't want life to be unreasonably difficult for people. Thats it. I just what the promise of what labor was supposed to be. I want it to free us from the shackles of work or die. Guess that is extreme left now even with tankies around the corner from us.
In the marketplace of ideas, rightwing thoughts will be mocked, as they always should been...
That's the loophole for the 13th amendment. We all get convicted of theft because we steal to survive then they put us back in our same jobs as wards of the state for no pay. It's the real long game.

You have to look at the whole compensation package...
No, I don't. I can't feed my family with an EAP program or a 401(k) that will disappear with the next robber baron of Wall st, or a marginally better healthcare. The world still runs on dollars and cents and until we all get our fair share, we need to be coming for these corpo-clowns.
see, my brain went to electrical engineering and thought the circuit doesnt supply enough current due to load and the light turned off lol
