He won’t go broke. The effect on his massive bottom line would be minimal. But, we now live in an oligarchy where greed is God. The best thing that could be done would be a coordinated national strike by workers across the country in all fields of major corporation control.

Fat chance, huh? We couldn’t even have a national protest over a philandering serial rapist trying to overthrow our government. I guess we’ll now just have to accept, with threat of retribution, the results of our inaction. Being underpaid while serious tax breaks go to those who need it the least is our new normal.
