This is probably why Jamie Dimon suddenly started calling F-elon a genius. I couldn’t quite understand the huge shift (not that I thought Dimon was that decent to begin with). These greedy ass fuckers. It will never be enough for them. There is nothing that we can give them to make them happy.

CFPB costs ~$1 billion to run annually. Over the last 10 yrs, it's brought in ~$20 billion. Double the return.

CFPB has been investigating and fining people like Mark Andreeson & a bunch of Musk's buddies. That's why it's getting shut down. Zero to do with "waste fraud & abuse".

Because it protects from "predators". Them.

Apt. The same way Republicans can support RFK Jr because he just wants healthy food and Americans after those same Republicans screamed at Michelle Obama drank big gulps and called the First Lady a man.

And they don't let it go.To this day you hear MAGAt outrage over Benghazi!! in which people died due to a terrible situation HRC had no hand in creating, & did everything she could to correct.

Still hollering about Meghan Markle. It's obvious why: How is it possible a Black woman out achieved them?

MAGA … seems to mean making the wealthy wealthier.

It was the pet project of Elizabeth Warren to protect us from credit card companies and shady banking practices. The big corporate guys have been trying to destroy it for years because it interferes with there skyrocketing profits.

Actually, we probably should just now be called The States of America

We lost our houses but Jeff thinks we're overreacting.

People thought post-Covid inflation was the worst the economy could be, they forgot about the 2008 bank collapse and housing crisis.

They’ll remember soon though. I give it a few months, probably sooner.

This Musk/Trump coup is the plutocrat's long planned effort to own the global money-making machine. They don't want anybody protecting us from them.

It's a sad day when we can no longer rely on our American allies to uphold the values of democracy and freedom, especially for the state of Israel!

justvickimarie.bsky.social•13 days ago

Exactly 💯

benevoluspf.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yep.

And bring crypto in to make it even worse.

Wait until Jeff’s bank hikes up his overdraft fees to $100 because there’s no one to protect against that.

Of course. Anything that gives any hope of the leveling of the playing field for consumers must be stamped out, ruthlessly to break whatever spirit is left in consumers. No one is so blind as a person who will not see.

And now they are currently starting a new housing bubble
