The topic of the day? Destroy the oligarchy. It's either the Democrats hammer the billionaires legislatively or disaster is just a half-decade away. Starting now, economic populism is mandatory, cutting into the billionaire class's wealth, its immunity from the law, its exploitation of AI to eliminate jobs and hijack the economy, its linkage to predators like Jeffrey Epstein, and so much more. We're going full economic populism before it's too late. This is one of my favorite Cliff episodes. Support his Substack at blueamp.co.
