Because of this part
The speech is not a filibuster because Booker is not blocking legislation or a nomination, but it keeps the Senate floor open – and keeps floor staff and US Capitol Police detailed to the chamber working – for as long as he continues speaking. Lawmakers had concluded voting on Monday before he began his remarks.
It’s symbolic because he’s not doing it when it actually delays something. His action is not holding or delaying any efforts of the Republicans. It’s still a viable form of protest.

The wealth of billionaires for some crazy reason isn’t counted as a kind of unchecked inflation. in a just a few years the amount of money at the top more than doubled and no one else seems to be thinking that it’s hyperinflation. The economy is split and at the top money is poured in and never taxed out. The real reason why stock prices are rising is that rich people just don’t know where else to place such vast amounts of cash.
Tesla isn’t a car company. It’s a place for the ultra wealthy to stash their money.
We NEED taxation at the top to balance with tax cuts in other places. That money needs to be pulled out of circulation.
