A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I am all about naming them but you know the list of Oligarchs who own significant portions of US and/or global economy in key sectors as such energy, retail, tech, pharma etc Gates, Elon, google clown, Kucks etc They collude with political leadership at state and federal level to obtain preferential treatment, bailouts/handouts and suppress the working people's interests esp in housing, healthcare and education.
As I said above, this is not left/right issue since when "left" has power nothing has been done since FDR was president imho Their politics are just less divisive, ie the good cop. While "right" is the bad cop. Peasants fight squabbling whose daddy is better while they beat their moms.
However, people on the left keep hoping if we get "our guys" in we will get results... where are the results? Biden and Obama both had Congress and nothing got done. Life for working people has deteriorated to the point where majority live in neo feudal poverty. Political process is captured and as a working person, voting with your feet/wallet yields better result than participating in the political process.
So... what you're saying is that you're just anti-capitalist, or in other words, far left, you realise that, right? You just have a US-centric view on politics, where "left" and "right", have no meaning, because it's neoliberal capitalism on both sides.
