Pretty sure when Trump says there will be some short term pain during the "transition," he's talking to them, not us. Our pain will be long term. Their pain will be relieved by the contracts they will be awarded with models benefitting them.
Billionaires forget who made them rich. Their egos get in the way of reality. The people giveth and the people can taketh away. Boycott Billionaires, especially the ones who kiss the ring. Say no to Amazon, Meta, Tesla, X, and any others who are part of the problem. Time to be part of the solution.
It seems we too have a history of forcing people off their land using economic and brute force - I’m thinking indigenous people, the Japanese in WWII, black Wall Street in Tulsa, gentrification in large cities. The list can go on and on.

Now that’s like the ice berg poking out of the water, because I’m pretty sure what goes unspoken is making market conditions as favorable when spending your money to maximizing your money.
they are taking the gamble that they will make out during the "anointing of the oligarchs", which is act 2.
act 1, where maybe they have to weather some turbulence, and which is currently in progress, is the "tenderization and prep of the assets for consumption"
Don’t care about the taxes. They pay the taxes on the gains when they sell. The game is about the leverage against the potential gain which someone else holds. Most play a different game because they are locked to a salary. No one is going to let you borrow against your salary without collateral.
Honestly they don’t care. How do we get the market ack and survive cause lord knows they will be fine but the rest of us will be servants after years of knuckle breaking work. This is my biggest fear. @sanders.senate.gov what do we do?
How hard is it to understand that Trump wants revenge for his 2020 loss on the American people while fulfilling his orders from Putin to sow chaos disrupt, dismantle and then destroy America. Please look at the bigger picture! It should be becoming clear by now with his "Not Crazy Actions."
The only way to make these piggies pay for their gluttony is to hit them where it hurts the most - their wallets. Believe me, I know how hard it is to cut the cord with Amazon. It's extremely hard to find the products you're looking for in B&M retail stores, but the consumer has to fight back.
I dont think we should be happy about this. It's just step 1 of their plan. Burn it all down and buy up the rubble for pennies on the dollar. They are just going to own more and be even richer on the other side.
They could have stood up to him and ensured his lies were exposed. But Harris would raise their taxes, well not they've paid that money anyway... and they are under Trump's thumb.
Wrong. The devaluation is temporary and it makes no difference to them how many billions they have (that's an absurd amount of money anyways).
They are in it for the long run to create a redistribution/slavery pipeline from the bottom to the top.
If they succeed they'll regain that loss.
In their drive to eliminate taxation on the wealthy, this includes ending inheritance tax; thus keeping the obscene wealth of the plutocracy in a lock box for all their future generations and installing a permanent ruling class.
That loss of money will end up being the death of Trump because money is the only thing important to Trump and all the other billionaires. A large majority of them made their billions because of scamming others and using their monetary muscle to get ahead.

The issue is they'll be fine, and when the economy tanks, they'll snatch up every resource, every company, every bit of land, for pennies on the dollar while the rest of us starve.
Everyone thinking Trump crashing the economy is some genius masterstroke meant to enrich the already rich should probably just accept that Trump is a fucking moron who once bankrupted a casino.
Daddy gave him nearly half a billion dollars to prop it up, and he got so greedy that when Daddy croaked he scammed his siblings out of their part of the inheritance.
They let their greed get the best of them. Sensible business people would have seen Trump was a train wreck, and Harris would be more reasonable. But, once again, they were somehow fooled into thinking Trump knew anything about running a country.
And they're all still billionaires many times over. What is being created is a fantastic buying opportunity for the ultra rich while recently retired regular people watch money they actually need to live disappear.
^^^that right there. Recessions are opportunities for the wealthiest people to become even wealthier by snapping up assets poorer people lose in a recession.
By the time Trump's reign of terror ends, this handful of billionaires will increase their wealth by at least 500%. It's about the greed, which uses cruelty as a method.
They thought kissing the ring was going to save them. Major mistake! It's the everyday people that made them rich, and they've shown their true colors now.
IMO they did vote for the smart educated lady. I will never believe there are 77 million ignorant racist woman hating pigs in US. Now if you actually invade and start a combat war with us I will change my mind!
That might be in the holdings we know about, but what about their put options or other investments that are betting on the market taking a dump. All with insider info.
But they are still pretty sure they are going to be more powerful after it all burns down and the rest of us are sweeping up the ashes.
Many think they are trading their status as rich citizens to become dukes in the next order.
Historical Democratic administrations are much better for business, who make more money under democrats, and then are taxed on those greater profits.
Republicans get elected time and time again by appealing to greed, promising to cut taxes. The country suffers, the economy slips, the cycle repeats
If they donate to a charity they don’t get the control of government they are buying & it’s been working for them - they own ay least two justices and many senators & congressman
Yes, but then they wouldn't have been able to enjoy the mass deportations, the people being "disappeared", the destruction of BLM square, women bleeding to death, seniors thrown out of their retirement home. They knew exactly what they were voting for, it's why they love him.
Geez, I never looked at it that way. But it's akin to the observation that before he cashed-in on the presidency, Trump blew Herr Daddy's money on the Trump Org to the point where stashing it in a certificate of deposit would have been better.
Also note: those shiny happy CEO's were *7 weeks ago*.
Not sad. Glad they end up coalesing the People in response.
All retirees who were doing well last year. Even last month. All gone. Lost a year of gains++.
Think we buy that temporary pain lie?
See you @ voting booth so we can tear up Project 2025 a politician at a time. Or several @ once out.
alt text is the difference, for low-vision users who use text-to-voice software. that software can read the alt text so that those folks can know what the image is/says
if you look at the bottom right corner of the image in Numb's post you will see "alt" and if you click on it, it says everything the image says, in a format accessible to the text-to-voice users. Molly's post does not have that "alt" option. that is literally the only difference but it's important
ALT text is for describing pictures, even if this picture is of text. Example: when Bluesky hiccups and images don't load, all you get is a blank spot. With ALT text, you at least have a description of what should be there (a photo of a woman with red hair holding a soda bottle). Accessibility!! 😊

Refuse to give Musk, Bezos or Zuckerberg a single penny! If the 99% stopped buying the shit they’re selling, they’d be bankrupt within a few months.

The question is: what do they value more- money, or power?
With current Donut admin, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer.

Money is the root of all EVIL
At a certain point, money billions is just a number and you need to focus on raw power over your fellow man.
Many think they are trading their status as rich citizens to become dukes in the next order.
But they dig in. Look at WaPo. Bezos is going deeper down the rabbit hole.
These men are a bunch of scared nerds that need their mommies.
