WADR It is not "business" that will save humanity. It is not capitalism that paves the road we should take. It is not the wealthy that should be leading humanity in any way. Their egos have mistakenly caused them to believe that everything starts and ends with them and the rest should just follow

Succinct and accurate! That's all he knows to do...it's the rest of his corrupt, disruptive and ego manical people who are pulling his puppet strings but don't tell the "businessman". That's the tragedy of it all, he's just a pawn and he's not smart enough to see it. Pathetic

I have four close friends who’s job required constant crisscrossing the US.
Their observation is that the majority of average citizens are
A) wilfully uninformed
B) trump leaning
C) prepared to wait and see how it pans out
All these friends are Dem supporting.
Redouble your efforts.

I’m at, “People get what they voted for,” phase. I’m now prepping the same way I do when we hire a bad boss at my job: Prepare to fight for your job. Don’t stop them from being their own worse enemy. Fight to protect what’s important. Prepare an exit plan if you need it. Try and outlast bad boss.

Yup and like all his businesses he's once again running it into the ground!

What Trump doesn’t get is that the government is not a business. It cannot operate like a business. It exists to keep order, provide services and to care for its citizens.

JD Vance snubbed German Chancellor Scholtz in order to meet with anti- democratic, fascist AfDs. German people are furious that first Musk, then VP of US would enter into German politics to support anti Jewish, pro Putin, anti democratic AfD. He then gives a speech which is historically inaccurate.

The US is being run like a horrible Trump company, but Elon is running it. Trump's father had dementia & Trump & his siblings paraded him around & spoke for him & did biz on his behalf for years. That's what's happening now. Trump is clearly in mental decline & everyone around him is exploiting it.

Trump’s companies filed for bankruptcy six times, and several ventures like Trump University, Trump Vodka, and Trump Steaks failed. While some argue he runs America like his businesses, critics highlight his track record of failures, while supporters see his business experience as an asset.

The idea that being good in business means that you should be in politics is a bad mentality anyway, as these are different things. Businesses are run for the profit of the shareholders, and Trump just sees it in these terms. And yes, he is not a good businessmen! Marketing skill, but bad in effect!

josh-boolean.bsky.social•7 days ago

If I haphazardly fired hundreds and immediately rehired them, I would be fired for reckless incompetence. Musk did this with X and now the U.S. govt. If he thinks a sophisticated accent makes him smart, it doesn't.

terminatorlx.bsky.social•7 days ago

He's never successfully run a business without breaking his business agreements and refusing to pay thousands of former employees. His entire wad is actually just what is left of the $413,000,000 he stole from his own dad before the old man even passed away.

He is a monster and a loser. Beware!!
