The easiest way to make the S&P 500 go to 10,000 is put a 100% tariff on it.

The top 10% account for half of all consumer spending . The top 10% also own 90% of the stock market. Lose the stock market lose the economy. Hence from the Fed on down everything is and has been geared to protect the stock market.

I can tell you that the vast majority of civil servants I’ve had the honor of working with are dedicated and hardworking. For the richest person in the world to be given a bully pulpit in the Oval Office to impugn their integrity is beyond shameful. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/fraud

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Major cuts to programs that millions rely on, all to finance another round of tax cuts that will disproportionately benefit the wealthy and big corporations. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

At least six independent inspectors general fired by Trump all have one thing in common: their agencies investigated Elon Musk's corporations. Musk's crusade against the government isn't about "waste" or "efficiency." It's about shielding himself from accountability.

“Congress has no ability to really intervene and monitor what's happening because these aren't really accountable public officials. So this feels like a hostile takeover of the machinery of governments by the richest man in the world.” www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
