"My friends, you don’t have to be a PhD in political science to understand that this is not democracy. This is not one person, one vote. This is not all of us coming together to decide our future. This is oligarchy."

Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders is intensifying his fight against U.S. oligarchy, targeting wealthy individuals like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.

Sanders argues that these billionaires manipulate the global economy, influence elections, and control the government, hindering democracy and exacerbating global inequality.

He believes this issue is crucial, impacting various aspects of society, including climate change, healthcare, worker protections, and poverty.

    The question is how to get within 50 yards. It’s not metaphorical.

      I mean like any heist movie you just have to post up and stake out places until you know routines. Also, social engineering.

      Why the requirement to get within 50 yds? With a scope and a decent rifle, you can easily hit up to 300m without that much effort. Wouldn’t even need a spotter at that range.
