JustChapman on Nostr: You can’t squeeze blood from a turnip. The turnip I’m referring to is the middle ...
You can’t squeeze blood from a turnip. The turnip I’m referring to is the middle class - the largest segment of the population. The weight of the entire economy has been shouldered by the middle class so the rich can enjoy their continued lavish lifestyles. We pay billionaires for food, medicine, housing, entertainment, and yes - even the news.
We’re tapped-out my friends. We are not the ones with excess stacks of cash. We cannot give anymore.
Now is the time to end support of billionaires.
