Evil corporate America? Biden slams “tech oligarchs” after he and then Kamala pocketed billions in 2024 campaign contributions.

Okay – I get it. Biden is still peeved about losing his job. What 82 year old career politician wouldn't be? The president is non-stop dissing and moaning about how he really would have won if only people had never persuaded him to drop out. Pres. Biden, we're convinced. You ARE disconnected from reality. No need to keep making the point again and again.
In his rambling, halting farewell address, President Biden used to the opportunity to slam the incoming president and his campaign backers. Contributors Biden used to call his friends: Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos. The president’s actual quote: there is a “dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people”. Which was apparently okay in 2020, when those ultra wealthy people backed HIS presidential campaign. Is this hypocritical, or simply because his speechwriters think nobody remembers?
Bill Gates specifically is NOT seen as a threat by Biden. Because Bill contributed a whopping $50 million (not a misprint) to Kamala’s campaign. Media big shot Michael Bloomberg was also forked over $50 million to Kamala. If Microsoft and Bloomberg news aren’t “dangerous concentrations of power”, then I’m the one who is completely wrong about all this.
Biden probably regards Jeff Bezos as the biggest “threat to democracy”. Because the Bezos'-owned Washington Post endorsed Sleepy Joe in the 2020 election, but then refused to endorse ANYONE in 2024. The nerve of Bezos! Political neutrality and skepticism about septuagenarian politicians is a sure sign of corporate danger, right?
To be fair and balanced, I think putting Elon in charge of ANYTHING in the federal government – officially or on the QT – is a huge mistake. He’s already creating enough chaos as a pot smoking, twitter destroying, serial collector of tax subsidies. Elon’s one valid point may be that America should encourage MORE international workers with valuable skills to come to this country. Get jobs, pay taxes, and work under their own identities. But that's hardly a threat to democracy either.
Let’s put a leash on the politics of envy. And identify politics. And vilification of religious of faiths we don't personally practice. (full disclosure – I’m secular). Biden’s fare well address is just another last-minute hand grenade tossed on the table to cause chaos. The only silver lining is that clearly Biden never personally wrote any part of it. The text came straight from his handlers in the West Wing. The same ones who have been concealing his dementia for several years, and who lost the election for Kamala.
I’m just sayin’ . . .
