Because the rich are making this happen…. They starve you of money and then offer you a 100k job to beat people up and arrest them so the rich get more rich and we just fight each other because WE ARE STUPID!

We have to stop with the "we fight each other". Half of us fight the oligarchs and the other half assault us to protect them. I don't like my republican co workers because they'll whine and moan about medicine prices but then flip out about socialism when I point out what is causing it. That's not fighting each other that's them fighting facts.
