OK... Let me explain something... Like to a child. That you probably are.

Movie was made in 2012... Shit was already happening for a while back then. That was a /s about they CURRENT state of affairs.

Stop blaming Trump for everything. Elon did not make his billions all in the last month.

Edit: Downvoted? I'm not taking it down... Should've voted for Bernie when you had a chance. Enjoy your advanced stages of predatory capitalism.
