Washington DC

The Wild Wild West — USA!

I had the idea for this cartoon on Monday 4th Jan. and eventually asked Josh to draw it yesterday, Wednesday 6th Jan. I had no idea what would happen in Washington during the vote counting on that day. This event will possibly be the most remembered shootout since 1881.

Let me describe the image. Obviously it’s Joe Biden and Donald Trump pictured at the historic US Wild West event, ‘Gunfight at the O.K. Corral’.

DC Hyperloop

Elon Musk by Michael & Josh #dailycartoon series

Elon Musk allegedly has received “early and vague” government approval to start work in a DC parking lot. That’s Washington DC!

Musk has a mission and vision to build an underground ‘hyperloop’ that transports cars underground to avoid the enormous congestion that exists and will only balloon in decades to come.

An incredible and very brave idea for sure.

This cartoon shows that Musk will be able to tunnel through to Donald Trump’s bedroom from a Washington DC car park.

Greed

After watching ‘Saving Capitalism’ https://www.netflix.com/title/80127558 with Robert Reich, former US secretary of labor (1993–1997) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Reich, I realised a number of things.

  1. The big US corporates are as corrupt as you can possibly imagine. They buy legislation through their donations to politicians. And it’s all been made legal by the way.
  2. We fund this. Yes you and me, we are the ones that are buying the produce made by these big global corporates and from their massive profits they buy favours (favors) from the US political system.
  3. Simple then, stop buying from them. I know, I know, we have to buy our fuel, our utilities, our food, (our healthcare in the case of the US) and our homes, but even then we also know we are paying over the odds, we are over-consuming all the time. Just start cutting back, REDUCE!

There’s no point protesting as nobody really ever wins via that route, the only voice they will hear is when you hit them where it hurts. Their profits, the bonuses, the big pay-packets and stop them from being able to buy those favours from Washington, London and maybe every major city in the world.

We actually have the biggest voice and we are not using it.

Happy protesting!
