This is like the terminal sickness of predatory capitalism, but I don't know what comes next.

The People's Republic of Eastern Oregon is an especially fun phrase to say if you've been to Eastern Oregon.

One of my bucket list items is "witness the American oligarchy crumble before my eyes" and I'm hoping I'm about to cross it off.

i’m sure a system that will eventually produce a cabal of hyper wealthy ghouls to accumulate more wealth than all the world’s governments won’t present any problems

Damn, wild. Maybe this Bernie person or the AOC person are into something about wealth inequality and Dems should look into that.

But also, that would hurt Pelosi's stock portfolio, so, descent into fascism it is

Oregón was originally started as a territory to exclude blacks. It’s a racist place- dont let Portland liberal rep fool you. Eastern Oregon is a dangerous place.

American Budget $6.7 trillion. President Musk says he can cut $2 Trillion from the budget.
To remove $2 trillion, EVERY Federal department, except for Social Security and Health has to be removed (no longer exist)
That will save President Mush a shade under $2 Trillion.

Idk guys. Taxing billionaires seems like a bad idea. I mean I pay 10% back to the government. If Elon did this he only be worth like 325 billion. How is he supposed to make it in only 325 billion? Thats only the entire GDP of New Zealand
