Today's cryptocurrency advocates seem to share that rugged INDIVIDUAL mentality from the past. Just like believing that ONLY jack Welsh could run GE. And ONLY Elon Musk could do what Musk has done (and singlehandedly without any staff help). Most every aspect of modern life demands groups working together, NOT individually.
Maybe if Musk had treated the workers at Twitter with some dignity and shown some class in his takeover.........maybe (?) I could have some respect for him. What he did at that Company is the kind of thing that FORCES some workers to become Unionized. And Jeff Bezos is doing the same thing. The German economy does fine with Unions - which helps Germany AVOID these "dumpster fires" that we are talking about in the US. It all goes back to the base question...... is the US strong and does it have a strong middle-class.

Maybe if the employees at Twitter has less distain for the 1/2 of the American people, and hadn't worked behind the scenes to cripple our democracy, they wouldn't have been fired...
