... Why It Matters Trump, who returns to the White House after January 20's inauguration, has raked in substantially more money from tech companies than Biden did for his 2021 inauguration. The large donations come after Trump has at times clashed with tech companies like Meta and Google. But they are seeking to build a more positive relationship with the president-elect, given that he will have the authority to issue executive orders and sign legislation that could have major implications for the tech industry. ...

Stated differently, they seem to be acknowledging that Pres-elect Trump has indicated the actions of the incoming President are up for sale.

What percentage of American workers can afford the price (apparently, the starting price is $1,000,000) Pres-elect Trump seems to be asking in order to get his attention?

That got me thinking about a fictitious menu for Pres-elect Trump's actions ...
$1,000,000 donated to Inauguration - Trump administration does not go after your business. $15,000,000 donated to Trump-favoring PACs - The Trump tariffs may have an exception for your suppliers. $100,000,000 donated to the Trump campaign - you get to campaign with candidate-Trump and have his ear. $2,000/month rental fee at Mar-A-Lago - the $100,000,000 becomes ongoing.
$15,000,000 donated to Trump-favoring PACs - The Trump tariffs may have an exception for your suppliers.
$100,000,000 donated to the Trump campaign - you get to campaign with candidate-Trump and have his ear.
$2,000/month rental fee at Mar-A-Lago - the $100,000,000 becomes ongoing.
My guess is that there may be other entries on that fictitious menu that my imagination missed.

It's almost like something strange was happening in 2021.

As lots of us have been pointing our for a long time, corporate boardrooms are run by and for the big boys, and they see great wealth as their reward for bending a knee to a demented fascist...they, as a group, rarely serve in the military , they just don't care how much horror is about to be unleashed. It is about to be our "Judgement Day", when trump pretends to be in charge, but in reality...something quite inhuman takes over...fascism. That machine doesn't care about you or me or any human being...look at what it did to the world the last time it was unleashed upon humans...from London to Berlin to Nagasaki... terminator.fandom.com

When is that not happening?
I'm referencing a time when corps were losing their minds, and I was wondering if I was going to get stiffed on a million dollar invoice.
