The whole plan is to break all government agencies and then swoop in with a handful of billionaire buddies to buy up EVERYTHING. Houses, bitcoin, schools, outsourced (previous) government jobs to private industry. Crash the economy and tank the financial hit while everyone else is forced to sell, die, or give up their stuff to survive a recession.
My apathy for anyone outside of my nuclear family is significantly higher than it was a few weeks ago. I'm just stocking up on masks, purell, and stuff for the coming year+ when a bird flu kills the yuckyucks and I can't buy tuna anymore because captain brain worms and the orange don't believe in science and will actively punish anyone who does for trying to get medicine. They saw their own covid response and went "hmm we did too much. Let's take more away" it's just mind boggling.
This was definitely a "kiss the ring" moment filled with veiled threats of dismantling zucks business under the new mob boss. I bet elon is actually the one who called the shots leading up to this, effectively making elon the real president and now cracking whips at other tech bros in his stratosphere.
Since literally everything in the government seems to be getting dismantled, what companies are going to pick up the pieces for these sectors? If we are drowning in a sinking ship we can at least invest in a life boat to buy eggs with and fight the impending inflation. The goal seems to shift trillions from government funding to private sectors and deregulate to let the friends of Trump get even wealthier.
Honestly anything is a hedge against inflation of the dollar if Trump indeed removes/replaces the FED with a sycophant who prints money willy nilly. I'd wager crypto, euros, and assets like houses or gold will rise when it kicks in hard.
Elon also is heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)... I bet they will substitute crypto for cash and pump/dump the nation. Honest opinion? Buy doge coin and bitcoin because inflation will skyrocket if Trump gets to print dollars and slap 100% tarrifs on food and Chinese imports (aka all products you buy). People will park their money in transient currencies and hard assets like houses and watch trump lower interest rates to refinance his real estate and his buddies too. Refinance your home, borrow cash and buy crypto, ride that wave before it burns down.
Knowledge is evidence based and has certainty based off of repeatable observable data. Belief is educated hope, based on the unknown when compared to the known.
Meanwhile in NJ I got a letter saying I have to tear up the lawn and street and replace my galvanized pipes leading to the house from the street into my basement for pvc or something at my own cost for no reason. Like 10k+ sort of money. Thanks ill wait as absolutely long as I can for that. It's not lead but it's not a choice either, more like a legal timer.
I read that he was the joker in his head, the 1st movie plot basically was retconned and that he is then killed by the actual joker at the end. If that's true then wtf. Why have a sequel that is a middle finger to the film it's spinning off of?
