Lawlessness, The Rich and Maga.

It's interesting how we have to again defend the law in our society, in the U.S., similar to old westerns or other old movies about crime.

We have obscenely wealthy people who owe their wealth to technology and progress.  (And liberal politics that started bailing out failing businesses in 2008, pumping insane amounts of money into the general money supply).

Elon Musk owes his wealth to his industrial skills, Tesla, SpaceX, his aggressive work ethic, and accelerated technological progress.  He is now promoting lawlessness.  Trump is very lawless, he wants to end democracy, voting rights, and equal rights, equality regardless of WEALTH.

So we are back in the primitive wild west and the America of massacring Native Americans, African Americans, and others such as women, and we have to defend ourselves and the rule of law.

A tragic but kind of logical situation given the abrupt and extreme social and financial situation we are in, again, in our society.  We did not defend our rights over the last 50 years or so, and this is how it has ended up.
