10. There is too much money in sowing division and promoting hatred...

Nov 2020

There is little to no incentive for greedheads in coming together given how much money these propaganda masters have made:

Rush Limbaugh: At least $500 million
Sean Hannity: $250 million
Glenn Beck: $250 million
Roger Ailes: $200 million (at time of death)
Bill O-Reilly: $85 million (at one point making $37 million in a 12 month period)




America’s glorification of being rich is destroying it.

"Healing and coming together" may honestly be more destructive than a degree of division right now ck4829 Nov 2020 #1
