    I had a thought about it.

    Elon Musk has 14 children.

    If you chop off his head, there will be 14 more billionaires. Elon Musk is the Hydra.

      So what? The “on paper” argument is utter bullshit and only belongs to the ignorant, the pedantic, and the sycophant. That “paper” wealth is leveraged into actionable wealth and material goods. Whether or not it is in holdings other than cash is irrelevant.

    Musk is another chode eating cunt with no real friends.

    While I have no doubt that a lot of money would make my life better I know I have genuine friends who I’ve known for more than 30 years.

    He has none.

    Honestly, I don’t think it matters much. America is just printing money for the fun of it, so it doesn’t really affect us. The money isn’t coming from us, it’s just endless leverage.

    The US is on an inevitable road to hyperinflation so again, it’s not really anybody else’s problem.

      The AI bubble will be allowed to crash after the US stock market/economy embraces AI and swallows the poison pill with otherwise durable financial entities that average americans rely on becoming hopelessly exposed to collapse by those entities having AI investments (i.e. fake money) forcibly integrated with them.

    We’re witnessing the rise of corporate nation-hood. Corporations and their governing boards or tyrants are getting bigger than most nation states, and a lot of their workers are more loyal to the company/CEO than their country. They have personal security forces. We’re definitely in a period of increasing acuteness and concentration, not a period of release and expansion. Hopefully the catharsis results in something better than the Pax Americana, which only produced a society of navel-gazing removeds.

          It’s probably dependent on your age and location, but a lot of people associate the Donald Duck Uncle Scrooge with the Dickens story thanks to this:

    We have a trillionaire, but we can’t afford to give universal health-insurance? The price of food and gas are skyrocketing too? We hand out tax cuts while there is skyrocketing national debt? The only thing we’re missing is a meeting of the Estates General and, then, you’d have the makings of the French Revolution.

        This is horse shit.

        The government is not a business, its not (supposed to be) run like a business. It exists to provide needed things for its people that private entities can’t effectively do because those things cannot be effectively profitable for private businesses without causing harm to the life of its people.

          Whatever you replied to is deleted, but i hate when a government says xyz program wasn’t profitable. Like fuck profit, was it working? Did it help the community? You dont need to make a profit on everything, but it should be an ultimate good for the country/community which will help it thrive and grow in a effective manner.

      I know you say that as a slur like he’s the worst person in the world. Because we don’t yet consider anything worse than nazis/fascists. Like it was our latest media thing of how bad people can be. But I think it’s worse than that.
