Is oligarchy starting to become exposed in the USA?

Left or right, ultra conservative or ultra progressive, spend a few minutes to suspend your prejudice (good or bad) about Bernie and watch this and share. your thoughts.

If you don't watch the whole thing, please spare the rest of us your ignorant, uninformed opinions. We already know them.

I look forward to a well reasoned discussion for those up to it.

I have always admired Bernie for his honesty and authenticity.
If I was American I'd vote for him in Presidential elections.
America has always been ruled by the Oligarchy.
It has now come into full and blatant view with Elon Musk.
Cutting child cancer research etc is evil.
I think at this point he is over doing it.
Will the jealous Republicans turn against Musk at some point if they view him as a threat?
Anyway, just a thought below:
If it continues unchecked, and this may not happen in our lifetime, the US may well end up in a revolution. Just like in Russia against the Tsar lol.
For example, when was the last time a CEO was gunned down in the streets and received bi-partisan support from the masses? lol.

Look up the 1920's and 30's.

Same things happening. Nation in debt due to war. Pandemic. Global migrant crisis. Wealth concentration. Rise of xenophobia. People tired of gridlock government. Right wing obstructionist SCOTUS. Robber Barons directly interference in government policy openly. Attempts to reduce government influence on business practices. Wall St. Investors creating bubbles that will harm little guy investors.

Of course there are superficial differences on types if business tech, information availability. Obviously Nukes on the international front. And more.

But same base things creating the same circumstances that will likely lead to another Depression.

Trump just nuked a bloated 1,500-page spending bill, opting for a lean 120-page resolution that actually helps people. Here's the breakdown: - FEMA gets $29 billion for hurricane relief - Farmers score $20 billion for disaster aid - Another $10 billion goes straight to farmers' pockets for economic support What didn't make the cut? - No more money for that State Department censorship outfit (the "Global Engagement Center") - No protection for the January 6th Committee - Lawmakers won't see a pay raise this year This bill is now heading to the Senate, where it's set to be Trump's first big win, and he's not even in office yet.
