I didnt ignore what you said, I am trying to redirect it from the rhetoric to the solid. Its not that the government is all bad or corrupt or even bad, its that it is used to benefit the people that can get that power. The more government there is the better it is for big business and rich people. Its not that Jeff or Elon can typically harm you, its that they can make the government do things in their favor and against your interests.

I get your points, but you I think that you are mistaking no government for less government. Is the price of necessities being so high good for you, or would you like inflation not to destroy your earnings?

Why does influencing public opinion and elections matter to you?

I like your last paragraph, I think it distills it nicely. Its not that they directly harm you, they influence the government which is allowed to harm you.

Jeff bezos has conflicts with his workers, and his system revolutionized how we buy things.

There’s no bullet train I can hop on to get to LA right now because of the power he flexed.

This is false, it was not going to happen.

How exactly did they harm you? "They both contribute to the government to write laws favorable to them, reducing their tax burden and increasing mine" - this would be the takeaway I would like you to have, not the propaganda about how they mistreat people. I get what you are saying, but the capital is not what harms you, its how they interact with the thing the can harm you, the government.

What power do Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have over you?

If it actually does entail owning and viewing porn then the quote should match the claim. The document is like 1000 pages, if its in there then it needs to be quoted in the graphic.

Its also cheap and can be handled by most people of all sizes. Its probably the best overall gun to own for most purposes.

I hear you, but social media is a place with people that want to just yell at you. More communtiy is always good!

If you are actively trying to get healthier, why are you on social media? I really am not trying to attack you, but social media is terrible and directly aggravates everything. As someone that has had all my sibling attempt suicide, I am sympathetic and I will try to challenge people.
