    "Don't rise to the clickbait , don't jump to conclusions, instead read the article".

  23. Yo, #billionaires!

    Highwaymen used to give a choice to those they held up, "Your money or your life?"

    If all y'all are sooo smart, why don't you know:

    - #Unions are the enlightened alternative to #violence, including violence upon #owners and their minion #bosses.

    - #Taxes are the mechanism for ensuring the #distribution of the #wealth created by our #social and #economic #systems to all of the #people participating in these systems and keeping them operating.

    Your #opposition and outright attacks on unions and taxes demonstrate extreme ignorance and/or self-delusion.

    Violence is never the answer until it becomes the only available option.

    Like they say in the game, choose wisely.
