“Thiel and Musk both earned their fortunes and became tech broligarchs as co-founders of Paypal.” I will not and do not use PayPal. I try to be aware of all the ticks, leeches and mosquitoes out there sucking a little blood out of this nation of sheep. Penpal, Ticketmaster and so many more out there sucking blood and yet so many Americans including so-called progressives use them.
Then the billionaire founders spend millions on candidates to keep the sheep together and well behaved so that it is easy to suck their blood, sheer their wool and slaughter them for food.
These sheep include MAGAS, Progressives, Liberals*, the indifferent, the crazy, intellectuals—whatever that really means—the intellectually and/or emotional dead. This includes the experts. Beware of experts. Treat them as a condiment and not a staple.
WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL SUPPORTING THESE VERMIN? CONVENIENCE
* If I remember correctly the Repugnants many years ago campaigned to brand the term liberal as something stupid, un-American, communist, Socialist, ungodly and many if not most liberals caved and started calling themselves other things like Progressives. Well, I’m a liberal and very comfortable being one.

Your article will keep this research nut busy for several days at least. Thank you.

Wow. Massively appalling. Incredible work. Thank you.
The problem I have with this is that I didn’t vote for any of these people. Citizens United MUST be repealed or circumvented by Congress.
