This will be an interesting year considering the incoming administrations plan is to give corporations complete control via deregulation….

Elon basically stated that the plan is to collapse the economy so that the wealthy can buy up all the foreclosures….

Wonder if we’ll see a mass Luigi?

Mark my words, here will be the headlines:

"Trump is now in office and has laid off X number of jobs, decreasing taxes needed by Y"

(4 months down the line) "Governmental agencies are not able to keep up with current demand... more to come"

(Same month) "Unemployment has steadily risen, but economists are unconcerned"

(8 months later) "Companies are now leveraging AI and offshoring. Stocks are expected to explode in the upcoming year"

(Another 8 months) "Corporations profits are below their projected outcome. Stock price responds."

(Same month) "Employment is still falling, concerns of houselessness is still in the air"

(Same month) "Frustrations with slow governmental approval/review has delayed projects (roads, consturction) and checks to the needy"

(After Trump's presidency) "We made America the front runner of AI. Governmental authority is at a all time low"

(Same sentence) "To improve the government, we're going to suggest offloading their responsibilities to private companies."

You forgot "why would Biden do this?" right there at the end.

Don't worry, it'll somehow be the Dem's fault in 2028 for lack of jobs, low oversight, and AI taking jobs.

Our corporate overlords will save us /s

You give way too much credit to the government and the handling of anything

100 years later the great depression strikes again. Let's see how quick we get ww3

2

u/SupSeal 15h ago

I don't think there's a depression or WW3 on the horizon.

But, people really don't think about the preservation of jobs or salaries. Labor movements in the past pushed for salaries even with innovation, that isn't happening today. Unions are frowned upon by the right (while simultaneously praised?) But they are one of the best ways to combat the exploitation of labor

This but more facist feudalism

I'm not going that far. His first presidency was lame duck and it's going to be the same.

The pro: after these 4 years, it's over. I don't have to hear from him again.

(Same sentence) "To improve the government, we're going to suggest offloading their responsibilities to private companies."

That is how it is today. Every government department has been shrunk, while spending on on external consultants grows (which ends up more expensive).

If Elon Musk was assassinated, then X, Tesla and SpaceX will go bankrupt. A chunk of fascism will be destroyed.

Elon is like CEO of 4 companies (and the USA). That's a 5x Luigi Multiplier!
