        That only works if we (the collective we) have more money. If a rich person has more $$ than a small country that means the effect we have is equivalent.

        That’s why micron is doing what its doing. We are no longer the customer. They voted for us.

        if the US government were actually funded by taxes, then everything the government does would be with “my money”

          Well, if you’re a citizen, the country is yours, and the government is there to manage it, but some assholes in power managed to convince people that it’s the other way around
