REMINDER:

the American #billion is a political scam and not a mathematically accurate number.

a true billion is a million × million

a fake USA billion is a million × a thousand.

you want to #AbolishBillionaires?

the lowest hanging fruit is LINGUISTICS: expose the scam that was created after the Civil War; by former plantation owners turned INVESTORS, who wanted to inflate their wealth thru valuations and not actual capital holdings.

that era of scams is known as THE GUILDED AGE

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black.

Tens of thousands of people have been without power for nearly two weeks.

Many are without safe water as well.

Yet every data center is up and running.

Using enormous amounts of both power and water to enrich the billionaire owners.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.
