Summary
In his farewell speech, President Joe Biden warned of a growing “oligarchy” in the U.S., where extreme wealth and power threaten democracy.
Comparing modern elites to 19th-century robber barons, he called for reforms to hold the wealthy accountable, as done in the past.
Biden also criticized a “tech-industrial complex” concentrating power and spreading disinformation, weakening democracy.
His remarks sparked a surge in Google searches for “oligarchy.”
The speech comes amid rising concerns about policies favoring billionaires, like Trump’s tax cuts and potential cuts to social safety programs.
I love how public education removed civics and history to make room for… let me check my notes… Social Studies.
Social studies was history? And civics and economics and religion/philosophy and geography. It’s just the overarching name for the study of human society.
Yea i don’t know what the above is on about. Social studies included civics and history.
Social Studies is civics and history. If you think they should be separate classes, fair enough.
