Just like tax cuts they will claim we have cut taxes by $1 billion dollars and when you break it down it will look like the last time. America has a stupidity problem that makes it susceptible to conmen.

Growth...like a cancerous tumor.

Watch ‘em change the math for calculating GDP, unemployment, and inflation so it all comes up roses.

And we were expecting...

2 doubly stable geniuses telling everyone what to think, how to feel and who to blame. How simplistic. Absolute no for me.

Democrats, as a united group goal, need to make sure that all of Trumps actions prove him to be a liar to the magas. Show how he tricked them. Remind them that Elon guaranteed they'd feel pain while he, Trump & the other oligarchs get richer off our pain.

Growth will be defined to exclude climate change and wars over ever-decreasing arable land and fresh water. Efficiency will be defined as eliminating anything Musk and Ramaswamy define as wasteful, potentially including social spending that many Americans depend on."

Unfortunately true. When will voters stop voting against their own interests?

Ally? Bromance is more like it, trump still hasn't dumped president musk???

That is all they care about. What’s in it for them? All decisions will be based on this.

cyranokale.bsky.social•60 days ago

Yep, pretty much.

Time for a national strike and fuck Elon over totally.

If Trump was already in power, along with his unethical cabinet, we probably would not of found out the NOLA terrorist was from Texas. Or, it might of taken days. It’s going to take a lot of coordination & sharing of info with one another to know what is really going on, once he’s in power.

More growth for any economy is a death sentence for us all.

Probably and many of the official measures (that reward productivity and profitability at the expense of livability and a life-sustaining environment) give them a head start. Even the employment measure doesn't get at whether we have the "good jobs" that the Biden Administration promoted.
