There is a simple reason why every public service is short of money: rich people and corporations have stolen it in subsidies, bailouts, and tax breaks. Elon Musk is the primary culprit—according to Politico he is “the single biggest beneficiary of U.S. government contracts.”
Trump has now appointed him to a committee charged with cutting government spending—but we can be sure those cuts will come from services for the population, not from the handouts to him and his friends!
So when public services break down because they’ve been starved of funds, thieves like Musk need a scapegoat.
During the worst fires in Los Angeles history, he blamed … the L.A. Fire Department’s program to hire more diverse workers through Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs! Musk tweeted: “They prioritized DEI over saving lives and homes.”
What a load of B.S.!
Whatever race or gender, to fight massive fires like those in L.A., firefighters need enough trained people and enough well-maintained equipment. That costs money. But Musk doesn’t want us to “follow the money” … because that would lead straight to him and his billionaire buddies.
