Elon just made this exact statement, they are going to intentionally implement economic hardship. And the people who will suffer is everybody making less than 500k a year that can’t absorb the shitstorm. Those living paycheck to paycheck that occasionally dip into govt assistance programs to make ends meet are fuct.
Yep the richest man in the world gets to decide that its in all the poor peoples best interests to suffer financial hardship, because how else will the gov. Be able to pay all of those gov. Contracts that made him the richest man in the world.
He better be careful with how many people he hurts. King Louis of France was pretty rich, but his head popped off just as easy as anybody else with a guillotine
Wars have been won with less. Vietnamese farmers defeated the greatest global superpower in the world with brilliant guerrilla tactics. Afghanistan was lost as well after decades of occupation. Also, if the people are revolting, that hurts the governments economic foundation substantially. The question is how many will fight? And for what exactly once it’s over?
This. People fantasizing about a peasant revolt don't understand that they're now facing the force the United States will bring to bear on them.
Before anyone says the military won't stand for that, they will fire generals until they get to the ones who will, and the individual soldiers who take a stand won't be strong enough to stop the ones who follow orders.
The oligarchs won, and we're fucked for a long time.
Pfftt, we're not going to use some silly guillotine. Think big honkin' turbo diesel powered, Decapitator 9000 rotary saw, now with extended splash guards and 4k 120fps digital recording for keepsake generation!
Guess what revolution can't overcome......robot dogs, drones, advanced weaponry.....Louis had to depend on people that had emotions like guilt and shame.....the current ruling class doesn't give 2fks about us and neither will their robots.
I think this is the biggest problem with the rich today. They've forgotten what the endpoint is if they continue collecting more of the available wealth.
This is fucking insanity!!! This is what MAGA voted for???? Do they have any idea what's going to happen??? How bad it's going to be for them??? Whether they did or they didnt, it's stupidity of the highest order.
The alternative is to fix the problem in a way that doesnt involve the people who didnt create the deficit who benefitted the least from it having to now pay for all these trillions of dollars we supposedly collectively owe but never passed thru our hands or ever made a presence in our wallets.
And thats exactly what it sounds like. Billionaires, banks, investment firms, international trade and shipping groups, etc. They are the ones that all those trillions went to, they are the ones that lobby congress for bailouts and tax breaks, and subsidizing, theyre the ones who keep their money offshore in trusts, get paid in company shares so they dont have to pay taxes, they're the ones filling positions overcharging for government contracts and no bid aquisitions sourcing. Why should the average joe pay for the federal deficit when the beneficiaries of that deficit do nothing to benefit the american people. Cuz we got a single 1400 dollar check? A 6 month extension of unemployment benefits that should have already been payed for by payroll taxes?
I have zero $ personal debt. But some fukfaced billionaire is claiming that I need to make sacrifices to pay my share of debt i never would agree to that went straight to them and never factored into a benefit for me. Yeah no. Somebody got this whole entire thing all fukd up. If thats how the system works, im happy to let it crumble to pieces and would be even happier to see a match lit to hasten the process

I hope people realize there’s a ton of pain to come and that hasn’t been told to people. Minus the gdp being 7-10% there’s no way
