Dictators need Oligarchs. Oligarchs remain wealthy, catering to Dictators. Wealth remains at the top and never trickles down, EVER! Democracy dies, and the divide between the few and the rest of the citizenry grows broader and more profound.

The CEO, chairman, and controlling shareholder of Facebook’s parent company Meta says he wants to be ‘non-partisan’. But that’s not so easy when you’re a monarch in all but name. (The Independent)
Jeff Bezos says he didn't know Blue Origin met with Trump as he tries to calm Washington Post storm
Bezos' Blue Origin has a $3.4 billion contract to build spacecraft and is competing with Elon Musk’s SpaceX. (QUARTZ)
What would’ve been a dramatic victory for Ukraine had been thwarted by a most unlikely defender. Few knew at the time that that day was a watershed moment in U.S. politics regarding how money and power are leveraged by nongovernment actors.

Money is all it takes, a whole lot of it in American politics, to dismantle, destroy own and operate the government.
Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg are Enemies of the State, and all we seem to be able to do is watch them kiss the ring of Trump and grow their wealth and power!
