Recap: How Project 2025 Will Tank the Economy
Recap: How Project 2025 Will Tank the Economy
While Republicans and their billionaire overlords laugh all the way to the bank (Scroll to the end to listen)
On 9 July, I wrote a newsletter about Jeff Bezos.
He sold 25 million shares of Amazon stock at an all-time high. $5 BILLION dollars worth. On 2 July. One day after the disastrous Supreme Court decision that gave Presidents immunity and made them dictator-kings.
Here’s an excerpt from that newsletter:
“When obscenely wealthy people make monumental financial decisions, PAY ATTENTION to timing.
Jeff Bezos didn’t move $5 billion dollars because he disagrees with fascism. He’s cool with Kevin Roberts, Michael Flynn, and their goon squad subjugating and killing us.
No, Bezos knows the decisions the Supreme Court made to enable a fascist government will tank the Amazon economy. People who are being terrorized by autocrats will have neither time nor money to buy cheap shit they want. He’s hedging his bets and taking care of himself.”
On 2 July, Jeff Bezos signaled that he doesn’t care whether the United States remains a democracy. His squashing of The Washington Post editorial board’s endorsement of Kamala Harris is in line with converting $5 BILLION DOLLARS of stock into cash so that whatever happens, he will have enough money to live in space or float on one of his mega yachts, far away from the ramifications of his actions.
It also indicates that he knew he would tell The Washington Post editorial board what to do in July, and he knew those actions would likely cause a boycott of Amazon.
DO NO LET THAT STOP YOU FROM BOYCOTTING AMAZON.
Because if he gets his way and fascism wins (which is what he and his billionaire brethren want), he’s already prepared for people to stop buying shit they don’t need. He’s counting on a massive increase in government contracts and favor from the dictator to sustain his wealth. BILLIONAIRES DO NOT GIVE ONE GOOD BOWEL MOVEMENT ABOUT DEMOCRACY OR ABOUT YOU.
Everyone should cancel Prime memberships and stop shopping at Amazon and any other company connected to it, like Whole Foods. Stop using Twitter. Never look at a Rupert Murdoch-owned anything. These billionaires are a cancer on this planet, and they need to pay for promoting fascism to benefit themselves while subjugating the rest of us. And make no mistake, income inequality is at historically high levels…the billionaires have already separated themselves from the rest of us.
Here’s a rundown of every other economic newsletter I’ve written since January. Please share with any persuadable voter who talks about the price of groceries and gas above anything else:
Vote blue, Americans. Unless you want to pay more taxes, work longer hours for less (or no) money, and pay more for everything you need to stay alive.

The Orlando Sentinel is no longer endorsing for the presidential race which I’m sure is a corporate decision.They were recently acquired by Alden Global Capitol.
The OS editors found a workaround with yesterday’s OpEd:How Would Jesus Vote ? They also called out DeSantis as a Christian Nationalist.
“To question Trump is to question God. That’s the message. It’s so wrong, but so powerful.”

Action step for folks here - We must help get more Democratic voters to the polls in swing states! Let’s support those tireless folks who are door-knocking, phone banking, & text banking till - and including - Election day! But how are those likely Blue voters located?
Field Team 6 is the only organization that identifies likely Democrats, gets them to register, then nudges them to vote. Their approach gains new Democratic votes for only $2.24 for 1 new vote - a fraction of other organizations’ cost-per-vote. But they need names, addresses, and phone numbers of who to approach.
Democrat Janet Protasiewicz was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in August 2023 - as a direct result of Field Team 6’s outreach.
Even now, there are a dozen states where you can still register to vote - some even on election day. And in any swing state, volunteers can still go door knocking, phone banking, & text banking. As little as 10 or 20 votes per precinct can enable Democrats to win.
Join me in donating at https://www.fieldteam6.org/ Their research identifies the people who doorknockers and phone bankers need to approach.
To check out Field Team 6’s impact, see https://www.fieldteam6.org/_files/ugd/c03fe4_ca47cde71737499492a602eb46bf0aba.pdf - They have a very impressive track record of getting more people to vote Democratic.
Who will help? Can I see a show of hands? (I’m too tired to go door-knocking - I’ve sent out 500 postcards in the past several weeks.)
