Nobody (other than billionaires) is happy with congress, their approval rating is the lowest it has ever been. That doesn’t mean we want one man to bully them, especially one as dumb and vile as Musk.
The right way to fight back is by peaceful protests, voting corrupt officials out etc.
- the_optimist 2y agoCan you tell us about the multi-generational involvement of George Soros? David Geffen? We’ve been here a long time, and I’m curious if you’ve developed a longer-term perspective.
- roenxi 2y agoI'm the first to advocate learning from China's economic policies which are a modern miracle of the first degree, but in this instance a fairly cursory comparison between their system and the US system makes things like Musk v. Congress look really good. There is no way that would be allowed in China and that is because of how both systems are designed. > The right way to fight back is by peaceful protests, voting corrupt officials out etc. Go try that in Hong Kong. If the most powerful man in a country is no threat to the politicians, a group of the smallest certainly aren't and will be lucky to get away just being ignored. Seriously, the US is better off if Musk can stare down Congress. For all you don't like him, he's better than a group of politicians that looks to the likes of Mitch McConnell for leadership.
