@wdlindsy Are they all on here? I'd follow if so.

From the New Republic:
"Of the top 10 richest men in America, not one of them has publicly endorsed Kamala Harris or been willing to condemn Donald Trump. These supposed business heroes are mostly business cowards, the first to stoop to obey."

So much "alpha" in stooping and obeying...

@wdlindsy I'm afraid this will take a huge societal switch before this can happen. Being a million/billionaire is the hope and American dream that is driven into the mind of every person in the country. No one wants to call the current billionaires out in case THEY ever get rich.

@SuePat Yes, I very much agree. To change this way of thinking would require quite a cultural shift.

@shansterable This is so good. I've boosted it. Thank you for this valuable commentary, and I love your final statement.

@TheDailyBurble I appreciate the helpful response of @mcpinson. Now I need to click and follow those if I'm not already doing so.

@mcpinson @TheDailyBurble Thanks for the notice. I just followed — or, at least, I think I did. I saw four options to follow and chose one of them.
