This extractive dynamic has been escalating for 20+ yrs in #SanFrancisco following the late ‘90s brief dot com slow-down, which gave way to the #SocialMedia boom, and now with the appalling #AI “Gold Rush.” It is decimating #workingclass residents—the people who run critical infrastructures. 😑

#Conservatives are NOT acting in the best interests of the #WorkingClass 🤓

And then you might also just be saying something like, 'a tiny group of elite academics doesn't think like the working classes.' Ummmm, yeah, but when have elites ever? Plus, that’s a totally different argument.

Regardless of party, always the same lie from warmongering presidents.
None of their kids sign up. Its beneath the #RulingClass (aka #EpsteinClass).
Fighting & dying for them & the #JewishSupremacist ethno-state of #ApartheidIsrael is for the poor #WorkingClass to do.

The #American defense grid is OFFICIALLY out of bullets, and the empire is CANNIBALIZING itself to cover the spread. The media won't tell you the truth about the #IronDome but the math is UNDENIABLE: the US is forcing the #workingclass to fund a mathematically IMPOSSIBLE war

Not different from these days finding work in a terrible job market.
The US did not learn their lessons from the Great Depression.

Every #capitalist success story is written with the blood of the #workingclass. Behind every glorified "rags-to-riches" tale, is a throng of exploited, oppressed and marginalized workers. No one can become a #billionaire without stealing the surplus #labor value of the #proletariat.

After migrating to the US seeking a better life, I am again living a humble one.
Six AM, riding the bus. Peasant of the world: worker, wage earner, not sure I am proud. At least not the boisterous kind.
Next stop, County Hospital. Transfer to multiple routes.

I’m fighting for the #workingclass, not the #Epsteinclass. Send career politicians who live and breathe off the #billionaires and vote in progressives like me who walk the talk and don’t take a dime of #CorporatePAC money.
