This is why messaging is so incredibly important. Gutting the CFPB was actually part of the Trump campaign. People who supported him literally went on podcasts and lied about what the CFPB does, and their viewers believed it, where it should've been a disqualifying plan.
We need to get better, not so much at fact-checking, not so much at nuance—we are already GREAT at those—but rather, at tarring, branding, the other side as scammers and conmen.
This may be counter-intuitive to the debate club types—of whom I would call myself a member of—but we must stop attacking their individual ideas, and instead start attacking the underlying value systems from which these ideas arise and the people holding these systems for holding on to them in the first place.
Rs have dishonestly tarred and branded Democrats in such a way that any idea or policy we come up with is immediately rejected by half the country without consideration. We must do the same to the other side, not dishonestly, with lies and misinformation, but because they are, in fact, vile conmen that manipulate and lie to their own base.
In short, stop attacking their policies, start attacking the people creating those policies for lying to, manipulating and abusing their base.
They already have all of our information, and the keys to the systems.
Elon Musk and his gang of tech bros, are traitors and massive thieves.
They need to be arrested, tried, and imprisoned.
Elon’s money needs to be confiscated, and distributed to all the people he has harmed.
That would be billions of dollars for each of us.
I mostly agree, Elon's wealth divided among every American would be about $1000-2000
First of all, taking all his money would be outstanding.
Second, there are 263 million adults in the US.
Elon’s net worth is $405 billion.
$405,000,000,000 divided by 263,000,000 = $1,540,000,000
That is over 1.5 billion for every adult.
All the people that helped the creepy muskrat should not receive compensation, so their shares go back into the pot.
I'm not trying to be mean but:
405,000,000,000 /
263,000,000
Remove all the 0s on the right as long as you have 0s on top and bottom:
405,000 /
263
405,000 / 263 = $1,539.92 for each adult, as I said before $1000-2000
You forgot to add the 6 zeros back onto your calculation.
With rounding your number to $1540, it would be $1,540,000,000.
🤨 That's not how math works, try it on your calculator, type in:
405,000,000,000 / 263,000,000
What do you get?
This is unreal. CFPB has helped so many people, and kept large financial companies from defrauding the little guy. Gutting it is insane.
It is.
