we were somehow mutuals on xitter back in the day and I casually posted something about how much my (extremely offline and generally conservative) parents were griping about the loss of the SALT deduction after the Trump 1 tax reform and he had an absolute meltdown in my mentions and then blocked me
“I can’t be with a girl who isn’t my intellectual equal, so I can’t afford to be picky about age…but I will *definitely* emotionally abuse her into getting a boob job*
*once she’s 18 and no longer requires parental consent.”
The thing is that Trump and Thiel do believe this stuff. But I hardly think Mr. No Impulse-Control would be posting threats against de-dollarization if he was playing chess in even one dimension.
Okay so there's a theory that 47 is doing this at the behest of oligarchs to crash the economy and create a huge buying opportunity for them, while simultaneously bringing hurt to the poors.
But I don't know what de-dollarization means in this context... does he think we'll move to $BTC?
He wrote the altruistic case for Donald trump (will let drug companies charge whatever they want therefore more innovation) and I am not going to lie, I said some not nice things about Canadians when I saw it.
congratulations on your all-expenses paid retreat to an exclusive destination at a caribbean resort. if you're lucky you might even be able to spend some time on that lovely isle engaging in water-based activities
GAHHH, I once upon a time had interesting interactions with Sam. Mostly about how I firmly believe libertarians do not actually take the hayekian knowledge problem seriously. But boy has he gone so far off the deep end. Like hes SUPER red pilled on getting AGI in 4 years and I have lots of doubt.
Not his worst take - he said Trump would be better for economic development. (Controlled de-dollarization is absolutely something I believe some anti-state libertarian economists would want; those people think stimulus bills are immoral and busy defending tax dodgers against US interests.)

many of them did not actually know things (sigh and grumble)
Their execution might be haphazard, but obviously a lot can be achieved by wanton reckless irresponsibility.

No why the fuck would anyone do that?
I'll definitely be his first deportation to Gitmo (all Trump hires will get a few bonus ones they get to pick personally)
Trump has discovered that tariffs are one of the few powers that he has (along with pardons) that he can do on his own without going through Congress.
So they have become his favorite tool. When all you have is a hammer….
