President Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities were still underway as prominent leaders of the Democratic Party accused him of selling out the country to a cadre of tech billionaires who received premium seating at the swearing-in ceremony.
At the swearing-in ceremony inside the Capitol rotunda, Trump gave better seats to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai than he did to the people the president had nominated to fill his Cabinet.
It was a stunning visual. The richest men in the world, who collectively control all of the dominant mediums of communication and commerce, stood behind the new president of the United States as he took the oath of office and delivered his inaugural address. Never before had a president been sworn in under such a backdrop. And for Trump’s political opponents in the Democratic Party, it was proof enough that the president would spend his time in office selling out to the billionaire class and thus betraying the populist sentiments that propelled him into office.
Now, accusing Republicans of being the party of the rich and wealthy has effectively been the Democratic Party’s messaging playbook for as long as anyone can remember. Democrats are for the working man, Republicans are for Wall Street, or so they insist. And in many respects, historically speaking, at least the second part of that was true.
Republican strength was concentrated in the elite, well-off suburbs of major cities, and their donors included many billionaires and corporate interests. On the other hand, the Democratic Party’s strength with voters lay with the blue-collar working class, and its donor strength, even to...

And Obamas.
Amen to that!
There has to be something wrong here. I’m giddy
Most billionaires today became that way through heavy government involvement in some way.
Government has become the mechanism by which the new rich are created.
I would be scare too if I were a social media monopoly that could get broken up, a big farma company that may face cost controls, a US manufacturer using slave labor in China or Mexico, a multi billion for profit firm relying on government subsidies...
It is no wonder that they did not want Trump to be President. Look at all he is uncovering, just from the stories out today.
Yet, no Bill Gates. Interesting.
Within the politics of it,
This is the only current difference between the two clubs, two wings of the same vulture.
Multinational corporations do not like capitalism because within the process of capitalism they do not have control over the financial outcomes. Capitalism breeds competition: multinationals abhor competition, they are totalitarian in ideology and want the entire pie under their control.
Multinational corporations do not like capitalism; underline it, emphasize it, do not forget it.
Capitalism is based on the principles of a free market. Multinationals do not want a free market; they want a controlled market. Their effort toward promoting mandatory vaccine compliance is an example of yet another control they can manipulate for maximum financial benefit. It really is that simple.
Meanwhile the crew of UniParty politicians behind DC know they can benefit from their corporate allies. The multinationals will pay the politicians for control and the politicians will construct defensive legislative outcomes that protect the multinationals. That is what is happening in exponentially increasing sunlight.

A true “free market” = competition.
That cuts into their profits.
These people are into having the government force you to buy their product (big pharma), monopolies (social media like Meta), massive subsidies (Green programs), or limiting competition by creating market entry, import or other regulatory barriers for competition (cars are a great example to this day).
Sadly, as you point out, the policy makers are buyable, nearly all of them. In fact, the bigger the mouth the worse they usually are: Bernie Sanders.

How to fix this? I do not know.
But one thing is for sure, we no longer have a free market where you have competition in a wide range of things where people THINK you have competition. Even the MSM is such a case. You really only have 6 media conglomerates that control 90% of what people hear and see: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwsos3k3hfxp41.png%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3De2e2e748899537cd92ba5a3726b0626a55952fc6
