      Another problem is that down to lower class the americans invest for their retirement.

      If he wipes out the people’s lifetime savings, they can’t afford to retire and got to work longer - even if the recession is driving inflation down.

        You think that billionaires that are influenced by the likes of Curtis Yarvin care about people saving for retirement?

          No, I just thought about how normal people are fucked over. In systems with public pensions, politicians could just cut the pensions, in a property and investment based system, you have to make the “lifetime savings” of the lower 95% just not liveable by greedflation, concentration of wealth and volatile markets that eat up savings - and don’t allow sub-billionaires to hedge.

      Destroy USD.

      Remove USD as global reserve currency.

      Sell off land to billionaire buds.

      (Allow) Nuke a few cities?. Big midterm surprise?. /q’s Great solar flash of 2025 - this is the only one I’m not certain of what/how/when.

      Voilà.

      Lol. You downvote. Everything he does is a known. You just have to listen. Here’s my comment from almost 4 months ago about tarrifs https://lemmy.ca/post/33768636/13042232

        Big midterm surprise?

        This is the depressing thing. Even if they do somehow lose their grip over public opinion, a fake terrorist attack would be all they’d need to restore themselves. Good thing Putin has no experience with faking terrorist attacks …

          Yeah, this comment has a lot to analyse yet there is little to no commentary on it:

          The red states are going to do good, and the blue states, I don’t know, maybe they’ll totally disappear off that map.

          The wording isn’t accidental. And it’s a bit more than terrifying.

          Disappear. Not change, not swing, not go red. “Disappear off that map.”
