Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

During an interview on Fox News, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent agreed with X owner Elon Musk's claim that Americans in the near future won't need to save for retirement thanks to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence.

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary, multimillionaire Scott Bessent, decided to parrot the predictions of trillionaire Elon Musk about the future finances of average Americans.

In an interview with fellow Trump sycophant and Fox News personality Sean Hannity, the host asked Bessent about the claims Musk made about artificial intelligence. Hannity said Musk claimed in the near future, Americans wouldn't need to save for their retirement because of the "abundance" AI will create.

Sure AI and robots could take over manufacturing, but it doesn't make abundance magically.

And even if it did , the owners of those AI operated factories aren't going to voluntarily share that abundance with the general population.

Yeah we'd have to move to citizen owns manufacturing, and can't see the current capitalists giving up their stake
