#NYT Gives ‘Whining’ Megadonors a Platform to Push Harris Against Taxing the Rich

”I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you that Wall Street billionaires and Silicon Valley tech bros are trying to convince a presidential candidate to abandon her commitment to tax them, and using their own alleged brilliance to justify it,” said Morris Pearl, the chair of the Patriotic Millionaires. “I admire their chutzpah in claiming that taxing unrealized capital gains will stifle innovation!”

“Claiming that making a billionaire pay taxes on their second billion will reduce innovation is as absurd as the rooster claiming the sun won’t rise without his crowing,” Pearl added. “The billionaires I know were all highly motivated to earn their first billion. The only thing at stake here is the remarkably fragile egos of billionaires who are on the verge of realizing they might not be saving civilization for anyone, including themselves.”

One day, maybe not too long from today, historians will write about the demise of the American Experiment. And featuring large in that narrative will be legacy #media including #NYT, #WaPo, #LATimes and others, who - at our time of greatest national peril, abdicated their responsibility of truth telling and holding power to account.
The obituary for the US will begin: "Democracy Died In Darkness"

Periodic reminder in light of the #nyt strike that #wordle started life as a free, vanilla javascript website with no DRM and not owned by the nyt, and I packed it into a single html file that you can download and run offline or from any site, like this: https://jon-e.net/wordle.html
