People are apathetic at this point. When a large amount of americans can barely afford to live while threatened with replacement while the economy booms on the backs of their claimed obsolescence, they don't care that a billionaire could've gotten hurt, especially when that billionaire is working against their interests.

I mean, it's also scary because I don't think it works. People should demand a new deal and lobby for that. Throwing molotovs doesn't help with that.

What happens when lobbying for a new deal fails? Do the people just shrug and accept the fate their feudal lords have determined for them?

Lol, really? You think there is any chance of that happening in this current political climate? Any whisper at all of rights for workers is immediately shot down as Godless Communist rhetoric.

The data has conclusively proven that moneyed interests prevail over the interests of the people. Every single time.

Oh yeah!, I forgot that staying silent and complying quietly is way better!! In 1700s they should have used that instead of guillotines.

People don’t lobby, corporations do.
