Sums you up pretty good. A whole lifetime of stupidity, ignoring empirical results, and a willful denial of common sense, a lifetime of that, boiled down to one paragraph, that's perfect in its economic illiteracy and dishonesty.

Empirical results more of your baloney

In my lifetime, we have destroyed the middle-class standing for tens of millions of Americans and replaced it with 700 billionaires.

Capitalism was not supposed to create billionaires, because the "invisible hand" was supposed to keep the playing field level. Capitalism fails when capital gains control of the government and uses it to its own advantage. That's not the invisible hand. It's visible.

Where’s your proof of the steps Musk took to reduce “child porn” on Twitter.
Were the thousands of former employees generating it?
What policy or procedure has he instituted that will reduce “child porn”?
Who was and who is now responsible for the content of Twitter?
Dave Chapelle?

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
