Do not stand down, do not wallow. Do not cower.
Stand up. Punch back.
The current environment is an opportunity to rid ourselves of the oligarchs - the ones who are all in, and the ones who bend the knee.
Be happy warriors, but be warriors.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
