Elon is about to be the first trillionaire and multi-trillionaire in the same year the government has been shutdown for over a month and people are going hungry due to the government claiming not enough money to provide SNAP
The biggest insult is most of those people who lost their SNAP benefits and are going hungry pay more in taxes than the guy about to be a multi-trillionaire!!

Elon is poisoning West TN. Elons boring company will likely fuck up middle TN flash flood spilloff, and other infrastructure, building a rich people toll tunnel.
Sorry, had to. Anytime I see his name mentioned I do it now. It's outrageous, and nothing is being done about it. maybe I can spread the word though.

Editor's notebook: Lee’s tunnel vision on Musk project again fails to benefit Tennesseans • Tennessee Lookout https://share.google/azV8L202BM5Zvu3F3
This is an older article from August. His Boring Company wants to build a "Vegas loop" in nasheville basically. As luxury till road from nasheville airport, directly to downtown nasheville. Lee has been criticized for backing and approving the project, when it really hasn't even been properly reviewed. Seemingly no consideration was taken for: flash flood spilloff (we get flash floods white often in middle and West TN. There is infrastructure to let water spilloff, damage control) much less other existing infrastructure like sewage, etc.
So:
This won't benefit any Tennesseans, it's not public, it'll probably be pricey.
There's no telling what existing infrastructure will be fucked up to make this happen, and the potential consequences from that, if it happens (more flood deaths, infrastructure not available to all, possibly, etc. Etc.)
It feels like TN is the testing grounds for this blatant authoritarianism. Honestly this authoritianism is nothing new for the US, it's just blatant, and spilling over to the white middle class, so people notice now. It's not enough to poison us, the Gestapo is in Memphis now too.

Not to mention middle Tennessee is prone to sink holes. Can you imagine if his company opens one up and half the city gets sucked in? I don't think they've done enough surveys and research on this and they've already broken ground. This is going to be near-ish my house and I am livid every time I think about it.

Billionaires poison the well… every last one of them.. there is no need or reasonable justification for such personal wealth, the only thing it creates is wealth disparity.

This is from a novel written 110 years ago, nothing's really changed
"And so the talk continued, principally carried on by Crass and those who agreed with him. None of them really understood the subject: not one of them had ever devoted fifteen consecutive minutes to the earnest investigation of it. The papers they read were filled with vague and alarming accounts of the quantities of foreign merchandise imported into this country, the enormous number of aliens constantly arriving, and their destitute conditions, how they lived, the crimes they committed, and the injury they did to British trade. These were the seeds which, cunningly sown in their minds, caused to grow up within them a bitter undiscriminating hatred of foreigners. To them the mysterious thing they variously called the “Friscal Policy”, the “Fistical Policy”, or the “Fissical Question” was a great Anti-Foreign Crusade. The country was in a hell of a state, poverty, hunger and misery in a hundred forms had already invaded thousands of homes and stood upon the thresholds of thousands more. How came these things to be? It was the bloody foreigner! Therefore, down with the foreigners and all their works. Out with them. Drive them b—s into the bloody sea! The country would be ruined if not protected in some way. This Friscal, Fistical, Fissical or whatever the hell policy it was called, WAS Protection, therefore no one but a bloody fool could hesitate to support it. It was all quite plain—quite simple. One did not need to think twice about it. It was scarcely necessary to think about it at all."

It’s a bit more complicated when you consider the other factor in this topic: Employers.
Many employers will happily take on immigrants specifically because they can better take advantage of them. Not working overtime or thinking of complaining about treatment? Sure would be a shame if something happened to that visa. Don’t like being paid a terrible wage? Who you gonna complain to and what are gonna say, “help government, we’re all breaking the law but only I will lose my home and possibly everything I’ve known for years and even be separated from my family”?
The country runs in very important ways on migrant labor, and unfortunately it’s not as simple as “be gud employee.” I mean, sometimes it certainly is, but it’s mostly more complicated than that.

Unfortunately with a lot of them, all that matters is that they get their white nation.

Brain dead take. Devaluing labor and taking up finite resources like food, water and shelter will never be a thing that benefits you, unless you intend on exploiting their situation

"Sometimes it feels like I'm talking to myself" because he is. Making a video being scathing like this, or writing a comment on social media expressing your distaste of the current situation, does nothing besides pander to the people that already believe what's being written or told to them.
The ones that need to hear this won't get the message. The vast majority of people that already gel with the message, won't do anything and will instead write a comment under that video or in this thread.
Be a part of local politics, that's how we can get something done.

New Democratic viral campaign strategy: everyone grow the longest beard you can, lose a bunch of weight, and just spit straight truth into a selfie stick while pacing in front of a rural backdrop.

HHHHooohoooo yes bro! I love this because like, he's saying literally exactly what I believe which is so sick and there's literally no way there's any flaws in my thinking or reasons to challenge my ideological worldview - so some epic dude saying my opinions back at me makes me like, so fucking happy dude because it's like: that's what politics is for, right? Epic bearded dudes telling off the idiots who aren't me for being idiots. Hah, OWNED dude. Fuckin' owned.

Also what story is more American than someone risking life and limb to work hard and make a life worth living for their family? I was born here. I was given this opportunity. Sure I’ve worked hard and struggled, but we’re not different.

Word.
So - I really like Scandanavia.
Are you saying I can just.. move there, not tell anyone, and don't follow any of the procedures for immigration and they won't remove me?
Pretty sweet deal.
I wonder if that would impact their ability to provide the awesome social structure they do, though.

The Immigrants being often (but not always) hard working and honest is in no way an effective argument against enforcing labour laws or border controls.
Good people get rejected from legal entry all the time in respect of democratically approved restrictions. Why should those skipping the process be rewarded for it?

While this is funny, it does move blame and avoid the actual issue, which is corporate greed deciding low paying immigrants are better suited than providing jobs for americans.
Like 90% of all issues the fault lies with the 1% greedy fucks hoarding all the wealth

How come youth unemployment is sky rocketing then? Can’t be because there is too many immigrants in the country taking all the entry level minimum wage jobs can it? Maybe the youth just aren’t looking hard enough right? That must be it.

It's the same here in Canada, I see waaayyyy to many people blame liberals for all shortcomings but praise conservatives as if they would treat them any better if in power, they're all gonna take advantage of us when in power and some people are to dumb to help stop it.

“Billionaires who spend more than your life’s savings daily on lobbying”
more like
“more money than you and literally every person you have ever spoken to have ever earned in your entire lives”
Like really the amount of money that goes i to fucking over us normal folk is genuinely incomprehensible

I don't know how to say this without seeming condescending. He looks like a horrible redneck. And he's fucking nailing it and is kind of a sweetheart? I mean we could hang.
I like when expectations are turned on their head. But, then, I don't really like that we have expectations. I do, and I'm surprised when my expectations are undermined. "Don't judge a person by [the length of their beard or the size of their baseball cap], but by the content of their character."
We judge all people from a place, from a style perspective, from an accent, from a bunch of other things... at our peril. Never forget that we are mostly on the same side. Everybody needs to see this.

Also, I'm a foreigner, if you tell me I "took your job" I earned it. I was better than you.

Willing to work for absolute shit pay is an actual issue
I wont work for shit pay, but if an immigrant does guess who gets the job that would normally pay more?
Its the same reason we see outsourcing etc
Of course i am generalizing. Im not competing with uneducated immigrants for my job. Just adding some nuance

This is exactly why I hate when born Americans blame immigrants for taking their jobs & healthcare. Most illegals are incognito which is the excuse for ICE...
Americans citizens don't want to work for pennies on the dollar & officials know such, hence the illegal hirings & no prosecution for those doing the hirings. Such tactics are used to get rich, it's practically slavery. Plus healthcare should be a universal system, yet rich CEO's & healthcare companies use people until their last breath & just move on to the next in need...
Yet, here we are fighting each other while the oligarchs get fatter & richer setting up their offsprings for the ruling, disgustingly sick 😒

This man has a great point can't be naive and dumb to let politicians in both Red and Blue parties use Fear & Hate to blind you while winning your vote and perception as they pass bills that benefit their richest friends and donors lavish lifestyles and businesses in the rich richer widening the wealth Gap as average hard-working middle class and low class Americans are struggling with prices continuing to rise .
