Owning more wealth than the majority of the country while keeping employees on food stamps is fine. Come after the king, you're cancelled.

I don't see a way out of this idiocracy.

If it doesn't effect them directly, they don't care - they're privileged and act accordingly. The more money people get, the more they can isolate themselves from others, the less they empathize. Couple that with a relentless propaganda/echo chamber that's always at hand, and the good fight becomes a lot harder. These people are so good at mental gymnastics even when conservatives/MAGA act against their own interests.

They must think, "Then they came for me, And there was no one left, To speak out for me" can't ever apply to them...

No, they don't think.

The voters I've seen don't look privileged to me and they seem to be direct out of Walmart videos.

Tbf, I think she's just an heiress, and I'm not sure if she actually has anything to do with the company beyond that.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

This is what I saw. She also married into the family and inherited her deceased husbands wealth.

Still obscenely rich, but she has nothing to do with the company
