This is the most difficult read I have every week. The oligarchs report is the most stomach churning stuff. These careless, myopic men and their overblown egos make me sick. I am doing okay but I see the desperate and hopeless everyday. I see Americans who have given up. I see young people frightened of a jobless future. I see mistrust on the faces of brown people, the fear and unknowing that surrounds their existence. And these men just frolic amidst the wreckage they are creating. And all around them are the minions they have paid off, the politicians who have shown their true colors and industry stepping aside as they bulldoze our culture and tear our safety net to shreds. Please keep up the reporting. I'll pop an antacid.

The way they are polluting the one and only planet available to our future generations at rapid rate is mind-blowing.

I don't care if musk or anyone else makes it to Mars or not (I think it's a ketamine-fueled hallucination, but if it takes burning Earth to the ground in order to get there, then they can all fuck off.

And as they pollute the planet, their friend, Twump, strips the country of its drive to let dirty coal and fossil fuels stay buried as we harness the sun and wind which are free, plentiful and cause far less harm to our only home in the universe. Going to Mars, a ketamine-fueled fever dream of an asshole, is so stupid and childish a notion that I do not understand why we even care what he wants. I know there will always be a group of like minded adventurers so let them read their fantasy novels and play their fantasy video games and, even, if they're willing, get their wives and or friends to cosplay as martians and everyone can have fun time in the basement. Where they all belong. Especially Leon Musk.

Musk himself was born in Africa.

He’s an immigrant-hating immigrant.

Strangely and sadly, as so many are.

"SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell on Monday committed to giving roughly $320 million worth of company stock to Trump Accounts: - Sooooo, they will be funding the accounts with our tax payer money since we fund the failed spacex program? Is that about right? Yeah, those billionaire cowards gotta go to a galaxay far far away from us.

In a Space X or Blue Origin spaceship which blows up on the launch pad.

They are the worst welfare queens, who depend on over-priced government contracts and an economic system rigged in their favor. They hate America, but love money, power and control.

Anyone who considers themself “MAGA” is, by definition, someone who thinks America is not great. I’d be happy to see them—including Musk—go.

When is this nightmare going to end?

God knows. I think this same thought almost every minute. It is not acceptable that this sick, sick show goes on, day after day. Every law has been broken, plus more we dont know about fully. Their theft on a monstrous scale is well known. Yet this handful of sick minded males keeps on prancing around, gobbling up everything in sight. While our beautiful country is dying.

I hope I live long enough to see the people take back their country.

Yes. I know where you are coming from.
