You all are ignoring the elephant billionaires in the room....
American billionaires have gotten half a trillion richer during the pandemic, but the country's racial wealth gap has grown, too
Business Insider
Quote: American billionaires are now nearly 20% richer — by $565 billion, to be exact — than they were at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new report by the Institute for Policy Studies.
Six billionaires, including Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Tesla's Elon Musk, and Zoom's Eric Yuan, have seen their net worths grow by more than $2 billion each since March, according to the think tank's analysis of Forbes' Billionaires List.
The coronavirus crisis has been an economic disaster for the rest of America, as an unprecedented 42.6 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits in the past 11 weeks.
The job losses have disproportionately affected black Americans, and the country's racial wealth gap has just kept on growing. The Washington Post reports the gap is in many ways unimproved — and in other ways worse — since 1968, when a host of historic civil rights legislation was passed.

Just another example of rich Republicans exploiting the poor and... hey, wait a minute....

Bezos being a bag of ***is hardly news.
Musk is... probably a libertarian? He's definitely not a Democrat.
The Zoom guy is a CCP puppet who no one knew ***about until 'Ronafest 2020, so who the hell knows what his agenda is.
I mean, your point is not lost on me, but none of those dudes can even charitably be described as "left".
I'd point out that Gates could probably qualify here, but I'm pretty sure he'd inject me with his mind control vaccine if he found out about it.

They are all Democrats and are quite public about being so.
Now you can argue about their personal beliefs vs party platform all you want, ultimately they support Hillary Biden and push towards more Democrats in elected positions. I mean Islamic Extremists are Democrats now and those guys don't exactly go with the party platform outside of "Muslims are Awesome" and "Death to all Christians".

To be fair, all my post did was point out that they’re not obviously Republicans (which historically has been the stereotype). Your point is not lost on me either, but it’s not in reference to anything I said.

i have a Tshirt that says "ALEX JONES WAS RIGHT", and a rainbow colored frog on the back. The number of times i've had to wear that shirt because alex jones was actually right about something FAR to many times in the last few years.

In an emergency a cell phone will do. Guy is chasing you with a knife, tell him to hold, while you are on hold with the police. 10 minutes later when they arrive, you are bleeding out, still on hold.

Criminals don't wait for you to call for help, police aren't in your immediate area, police may have their hands full with another incident.
Do you really just.... Wait for other people to rescue you or?

Look I know you're happy to meme and just complain about scenarios.
Instead of being like, oh god someone needs to come save me and kill the bad man with a knife. How about you ask why he was the knife in the first place.
You don't go a stabbin' for funsies. Police are an after the problem already happened "solution". They're pain killers instead of surgery.
You step on a nail and you don't just eat oxy for the rest of your life and leave the nail there...

Police will never be in a dangerous area and will rarely be nearby. Police are paid to shoot civilians drug dealers not protect them.

For the record, there are people who 'go stabbin for funsies'.

I don't mean literally say hey guy why are you robbing me. Duh. Of course you would assume that though.
Why are people feeling like they NEED to rob someone, is the question.
And no, no one goes out stabbin for funsies. it's largely due to mental illness or revenge or desperation.
And to be very clear, ain't no one going to show up in 30 seconds and save you from a stabbin. If you earned it, you's a gettin' it.

Never has a meme been more relevant. Seems kind of ironic for a black movement group, to remove a person from a brand because they are black...
So yea been out of the loop, has the rebellion began?
Is sublime gonna make a 2020 edition? What cities are popping off? What was the "last straw"?
Stay tuned for more excitement in 2020....
Edit: diverting the latest corona shenanigans from random thoughts.
