Tech bro CEOs and others feel persecuted because they lead such [View all]

Elon Musk’s 0M “investment” in Trump is paying off. All his regulatory, civil rights, and labor cases are melting away…

Corruption on steroids.

huge corporations and want every issue brought to them. Used to be before computers there was a slow pace of regulatory, civil rights, taxes, labor cases, and international laws governments have brought forth. Now the CEOs handle it all and hate to be touched by any regulation. And then they develop prsd (post regulatory stress disorder). Then they become radicalized and turn MAGA. It is not that the regulatory environment has become burdensome. It is that CEOs lead bigger corporations with bigger footprints than ever before. Every industry is becoming monopolized or oligarchized. Big means more chances to run afoul across our planet. Big is warping their minds. And so, as I read the other day, they set out to destroy nation states and build a world led only by techbro network.
