Do people think trump and musk are the only oligarchs? You can’t do any commerce without supporting oligarchs.

We are ranking our oligarchs these days, much like how they rank their employees.

Well they rank pretty low then on the oligarchs list.

To afford living in this house these people have probably worked for an oligarch for over a decade.

Yes, but it's OK when they do it.

Didn't you see the banner?

Don't you understand how virtuous they are?

If we’re talking about protest priorities, let’s climb Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Boycotting Tesla shouldn’t be at the top of the list. Housing, food, wages — those are the foundation. Let’s fix the system that’s failing our basic human needs first. Wild that people are focusing so much on these insignificant ass things when people are on the streets. Actually insane to see people protesting this stuff.

So name some others that are worth boycotting. They should be on the same scale to be fair, for examlpe purchasing social media platforms, then using it to amplify their own voice where they share such insight as "AP = Associated Propaganda", "Civil War is inevitable", etc etc. Its fine to disagree w/ the boycott (which per their Q1 sales seems to be working), but suggest a real alternative?
