The destruction of politics is coming for the economy
Comments
Curious to hear your thoughts on the idea that "they" are purposely destroying the economy to buy up assets on the cheap after the crash.

Untersuchungs- und Schlichtungsausschüsse = Will be set up by Pam Bondi.
Sturmabteilung = ICE, FBI, Red state National Guard
Schutzstaffel = Proud Boys, J6, military members.
Trump (Hitler) Youth = Linda McMahon and Red State Governors a d DOE.
It showed economic success comes from a functioning justice system. When workers/farmers/businesses fear what they've invested time and money into will be stolen and the perpetrators not brought to justice, they stop creating.
1) They want to get rid of the brown eggs and replace them with white eggs no matter the cost.
2) Deep down in their soul they truly believe that the trump regime will eventually make their lives better. See #1.

Under that Reagan-to-Trump timeline, the Republican presidencies had four recessions start in their terms: one each under Reagan and George H. W. Bush, and two under George W. Bush. By contrast, Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama had zero."

That's too many competing for resources the billionaires want.
I expect a good "rug pull" is in the works.
It's a "no offers" market now. When Fink or Griffin et al switch to "no bid" we'll see lot more scalps.
trump is in on it.
Ken/market makers switch to will not bid when YOU want to sell...no offer to buy...market down.
Hitler’s economy boomed even though Jews suffered from extra-legal harm. The average German didn’t suffer until quite late.
Covid 19: Hello!
The Mump regime only knows chaos.
Uncertainty is the enemy of prosperity.
It needs to stop.
We're very rapidly wrecking ourselves.
The business community has supported Republicans for my whole lifetime. They need to get off the stick *immediately* and demand Trump STOP.
Or they'll be wrecked too.
They want to make money, sure. But people go into business also to do the work they're passionate about. To fly planes, or
We need to appeal to the normal people in the business world who are at the moment probably heads-down trying to figure out how to proceed. And get them to become very politically & socially active right now.
Clearly we need to leverage the rational actors to the best of our ability.
We're teetering towards Least Favored Nation status, at least on a cultural level (which impacts trade. A lot!).
Oh, that's right.
ALL THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR KAMALA!

Either "it's different this time" or we're overlooking what is certain.
Pigs get fat, Oligarchs get fatter?
Is it finally a new market paradigm?
mynah birds are trained to repeat "Karuna" at key moments, such as during moments of stress, conflict, or potential violence...
"But the lasting, structural damage that’s deliberately being done to this economy and everyone in it … has to be pointed out." - Kai Ryssdal
Alternate question: should we be out of equities right now?
TRUMP: “Don’t worry, these Republican politicians have been eating out of my hand for 2 years. Some actually think I’ve been sent by GOD. They’re all idiots.”
Said it before, I think the two sociopaths just want to burn it all down and rule over the ashes.
I’m in deep red Louisiana, so mostly the response is “Don’t worry. Everything’s gonna be great!” 😖
Layoffs will soon spread from govt to academia & nonprofits. Highly educated people will be without jobs & health insurance, which will cause a major recession or worse.
What are we doing & why???
Note that word choice. DELIBERATE economic damage, i.e. sabotage.
Unfettered capitalism is tyranny

Every wealthy powerful person, investor, political donor, CEO, generals and admirals, law enforcement leaders, should understand they are only protected by the rule of law backed by the Constitution. Once that goes & tyranny takes over they are as at risk as the poorest working person is.
Did you all ever think “we’re helping enable this slow rolling nightmare with our useless both sides-ism”?
Trump's foreign overlords want to bust up U.S. power and make sure it never exercises superpower status ever again
Your money in the system cant be trusted. it wont be about return an yields but preservation of capital.
I for one prepare before they prohibit and block the free exchange of money.
anyone not preparing is a fool.
Like with Putin in Russia. Though I don't like the term "capitalism" in crony capitalism, which seems more state directed. But that's the term everyone is familiar with.
We really need more voices to speak out.
Sometimes you can't find a rational explanation bc there isn't one.
Even "lowering rich people's taxes" seems beside the point.

The rule of law (and our constitutional order) is being systematically dismantled before our eyes with little resistance.
The irony, ofc, is the union's most prosperous states are politically its weakest. Our union is broken. What of the power of the purse? Is it > the sword?

I'm hoping you do a segment on this topic sooner than later.. thing are coming to a head. It's time we plainly admit what lies ahead.
