Warren Blasts Elon Musk’s Government Power Grab

[daveman]

When it's serving your billionaire masters to the detriment of everyone else, yes.

....says the guy serving billionaire masters to the detriment of the American people.

Your party is bought and paid for, and not by the working class.

 

[daveman]

What's good for the goose, is good for the gander. You right-wingers want to dictate your values and world view, and we also want to do the same, the only difference is that we're for the working class controlling everything and you're for a small group of billionaires being "the bosses". I'm for common ownership of the means of production, you're for handing those resources to a few rich people, who lord themselves over everyone else with their money and power.

The President you voted for, Pedo Joe, received millions of dollars from the Communist Chinese. He was working for them, not American workers.

 

[The Duke]

Oh no!
Are they going to get the government to censor the media?

Pretty sure USAID was already doing that.

 

[daveman]

Spend it at the expense of their workers and society in general. Your parasite capitalist gods enrich themselves off of other people's labor.

 

[daveman]

But private sector bureaucrats' dollars end up in people’s pockets, bank accounts, and investments.

No, no, no. The rich just buy solid gold yachts and mink spats and useless stuff like that. Or else they put their money in big swimming pools and dive into it like Scrooge McDuck.

Or so socialists tell me. Then again, they're pretty retarded.

 

[daveman]

who is government? can you explain who that is?

His god, you blasphemer!

 

[daveman]

It's the government's dollars...

And there it is, folks. The mating call of the Angry Internet Commie Retard.

You need to stop talking now. You've used up your quota of stupid today.

 

[daveman]

I don't "whine", you're the one whining. The private sector is worse than the government when it comes to bureaucracy. If laws pass that prohibits any individual or organization from owning too many dollars, they'll have to return it to the government that issued it. It's called taxes. A good way to stop capitalists from further exploiting human labor is to tax them out of existence, forcing them to get a job like everybody else. These capitalists just don't like to work. They love their little fiefdoms, being a dictator over people's lives, in the workplace, and politically as well. They hate democracy.

 

[daveman]

Yes, just like when Americans weren't permitted to own too much gold (there was a cap on gold assets). The US government can say, all net income above x amount is taxed at 100% and you're not permitted in this society to have more than 100 million in assets. That's the end of the billionaire oligarch-class, who have more money and power than many countries.

And that's how you drive the wealthy out of a country, taking their wealth with them.

How much of what other people have earned is your fair share, and why?

They were upset at Trump when Biden Harris took office.

Are you sure about that Todd? Because your beloved Lord Elon is pushing for free money from Uncle Sam:

​

He's pooping in his Fruit of the Looms:

​

He wants to cut cut cut government spending, for the government to give him and his billionaire buddies, a massive monthly bailout of hundreds of billions of dollars. Trillions yearly, to preserve his wealth and power. Why should the American people, allow a tiny group of billionaires, to preserve "their" wealth and power to the detriment of everyone else? Why should Elon continue owning the means of production, under such horrible conditions, when the American people (the working class = 94% of the population), can own and manage it collectively, through their democratic government?

There's no need for our government to spend trillions yearly propping up Elon and other billionaires, creating an artificial customer base of worthless, unemployed serfs. The working class will continue to have jobs, and we will all own the means of production (robots, artificial intelligence, land, mines, factories..etc), TOGETHER, collectively (it's our commonwealth), whether Elon likes it or not. He won't continue to control and own the means of production, because mass production is a social endeavor, not a private one.

More democracy in the workplace, and a higher standard of living for everyone, because the working class will own and manage the means of production (advanced automation and artificial intelligence, along with everything else), together. It's coming to a theater near you Todd, and it's not fiction, it's real.

 

[daveman]

Why is everyone up in arms about Elon Musk confirming what everyone knew already - that we are being ripped off.

Here is a message for all the Dems who want to keep the criminal status quo...

(Profanity warning)

Brilliant!

 

[daveman]

Well, grab your ankles & welcome them aboard.

Mad you're going to have to get a job, are you?

There will be no Revolution, because all you Revolutionaries can't un-ass the couch.

 

[jc456]

That's because you're a whiner so you project yourself on me.

You’re addicted to stupid

Senator Warren’s speech underscores a vital warning about the dangers of allowing one individual, especially one who is not an elected representative, to exert such extensive control over a major component of government operations. She highlights the fact that critical systems, like those responsible for sending Social Security checks, paying Medicare bills, and funding essential services, should remain in the hands of democratically accountable institutions rather than a single person’s private enterprise. Her concerns are particularly urgent because these are the mechanisms that safeguard our most vulnerable populations: seniors, patients, children, and ordinary families who rely on timely disbursement of federal funds.

In defending Senator Warren’s position, it’s clear that she champions the principle of government by the people, for the people. She rallies the public to resist concentrated power and reminds us that these systems were built to serve everyone, not to be subject to the personal decisions of someone who has never faced the voters. By calling attention to the broader implications of one individual’s influence, Senator Warren is advocating for a democratic check on power to ensure that vital services continue to flow responsibly. Her stance sends a powerful message that we should remain vigilant and engaged to protect the foundations of our democracy.

so looking into the books to find out how much is being spent and where its being spent is a takeover of gov eh ? and as far as not being an elective representative bureaucracies lead by unelected bureaucrats spend and waste billions of out tax payer dollars .. do you have a problem with exposing such waste ?

 

[yidnar]

No, I'm not, but you have the wrong people doing the auditing. They're using that as a pretense to cut much more. Don't you get it?

got any proof of that commie ?

 

[jc456]

And that's how you drive the wealthy out of a country, taking their wealth with them.

How much of what other people have earned is your fair share, and why?

He never talks about all those sports figures he has equal talent with. He should go out against Lebron and dunk over him. He’s equal

"...but what to do about mass unemployment this is going to be a massive social challenge there will be
fewer and fewer jobs that are robot cannot do better and I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income I don't think we're going to have a choice the harder challenge much harder challenge is how do people then have meaning like a lot of people they derive their meaning from their employment if you're not needed if there's not a need for your labor how do you what's the meaning do you do you have meaning do you feel useless...."

No Elon, it's you capitalists, who aren't needed. Human labor will always be required to at the very least supervise the system. Human input and analysis will always be needed, irrespective of how advanced our automation becomes. There will always be a role for human labor, regardless if a wealthy capitalist makes a profit or not.

​

He ends the last video by saying, "..so I really think we need government regulation here"..lol. Why Elon? Isn't the amazing "free market" with its self-regulating, "invisible hand", enough? You need the "gubment" to come in and regulate capitalism, even bailing it out with trillions of dollars yearly, creating an artificial, customer base, consisting of worthless, unproductive consumer serfs, living off of a "gubment" UBI check?

Who determines that? Trump and Elon?

YUP, the one and only
