Tonight, President Joe Biden delivered a farewell speech that went beyond a simple reflection on his administration’s accomplishments. He issued a stark and urgent warning: America is facing a dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a few ultra-wealthy individuals.
Speaking from the historic Resolute Desk, he drew parallels to Dwight Eisenhower’s 1961 farewell address, which cautioned the nation about the emerging "military-industrial complex." Today, Biden identified a new and pressing threat: a "tech industrial complex" that threatens our democracy, our basic rights, and our collective ability to build a fair and just society.
This is not just a warning; it’s a call to action. The unprecedented influence of tech giants—who control vast amounts of wealth, data, and political sway—has already begun reshaping our lives, often at the expense of accountability, transparency, and equality. From the commodification of personal data to the unchecked spread of disinformation, we are witnessing the erosion of democratic values in real-time.
We must fight against abusive surveillance and erosion of privacy.
President Biden’s warning was clear: we are at a crossroads. The consolidation of power in the hands of a few threatens not just the economy but the very fabric of our democracy. It is up to us—the people—to rise to the challenge, remain vigilant, and act decisively.
Let’s ensure that the freedoms we cherish and the values we hold dear are preserved for future generations. Together, we can build a tech landscape that empowers rather than oppresses.
The time for vigilance is now. The time for action is ours.
President Biden accomplished many important things as stated in the White House letter release to the American people, but the letter did not include the warning which was directly to the viewers.
I would go one step further: Muskolini and the Zucc, and Putin no less, are actively unraveling the fabric of reality itself, replacing it with a reality THEY control. It’s the ultimate power grab: it means control not only over us, the people, but also absolute control over the world we experience.
We should sincerely take Joe Biden’s warning to heart - if it’s not already too late…
It can’t be too late for so many things the most pressing of which is climate change which regrettable does have a tipping point beyond which our seemingly god-like technology is unable to abate the disasters of nature’s fury. We must accept that we are not gods and that what the future holds for our garden of Eden is beyond redemption. Time is our greatest constraint and CO2, Methane, and refrigerants are the devil. Look beyond Trump and these pathetic billionaires and get them to focus on saving our one and only home, Mother Earth 🌎!
I wish this speech that turns the spotlight on the bitter fruit of Reaganomics, the growth of plutocracy to the point that it is clear and present threat to the Republic itself, had been given much earlier, but I am grateful and relived to hear it today. We have to focus or we'll lose the plot.
We must reward the corporations that stand up to the oligarchs whether they are small mom and pop stores in our communities or large corporations like Target.
My entire family and many of our friends are boycotting purchases from Amazon, Walmart, the Home Depot and many other corporations. Some of us have been stocking up on staples like paper towels and dry goods. Facebook and X are cesspools of misinformation as is Fox News, Newsmax, OAN and the Sinclair stations.
The oligarchs want to sell the idea of "states rights" to allow states to take away individual rights and freedoms. They prefer that families declare bankruptcy rather than provide basic health care to millions.
If you live in one of the 20 states which still has a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour write to your Congresscritters and Senators to raise it to $15.00 and index increases on COLA.
This is a significant crossroads moment. I'm very thankful that we had Joe at the helm for the past 4 years. He's so right that the time for our vigilance and action is now.
Just as in 1961, no one including the smiling handsome replacement, JFK who opened the 1960s door to the modern slaughter and war machine for almost 15 years, no one shall listen to this one either.

We cannot let it be too late. It is only too late if we surrender.

"History is in your hands"
Well stated in a unique way. Thanks

In my list of Biden "cons" above, I forgot that he didn't raise the national minimum wage.

JFK was a negotiator. His assassination was a military coup.
How so?
His assassination facilitated a military coup.
JFK was a product of WWII mentality of communism containment.
That, too. But he wasn’t afraid to think and negotiate.
🙄
I have about 1 brain cell left to spend on unconstructive comments. National emergency.
