3. This is the result of decades of socialized costs and privatized profits.

Republicans feed their filthy rich donors who in turn feed the campaign coffers to elect more extreme Republicans. The money loop is what makes the oligarchy possible.

4. Interesting... but is it an effective protest?

It's unclear to me what it says or how people need to read it in such a way that it easily makes sense.

Is it a list of names? Is it a flow-chart? Does it tell a story? Does every square foot represent something specific?

This short tweet that shows me what they're doing needs much more information and context.

5. I agree.

I have no idea what this scroll says.

9. It may have been an concept that sounded good at a committee meeting...

... but when put into practice, the reality didn't match the expectations.

10. Post #2 shows a better view of the "scroll" ... but who's going to read it? And how?

People would need to be right above it, or walking beside it. It's like an oversized web page... but it doesn't have the impact of an AIDS Quilt display. It's just difficult to determine what they're trying to convey with so many bullet points of information.

6. Billionaires are why we can't have nice things

because they use a fraction of their money to avoid paying anything back to the country that made them billionaires.

Economies work from the bottom up. Even Adam Smith, beloved by billionaires, needed two things to make his bullshit work: regulation and fairy dust in the form of his magical thinking "invisible hand."
