    “All of you peasants will suffer and some of you will die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”

    Why is it when fascists talk of “pain” to come it’s for everyone else? I’m sure tax cuts are in the works for his Nazi backers to make sure they don’t have to cut back on the number of vacation homes.

      Yep, and I think fElon talked about “living within our means”, IIRC, before the election in regards to this breaking of the economy. This is fElon, who is on the verge of becoming a trillionaire.

      Remember: we had some of the very best economic indicators before these edgelords seized power. How much you want to bet they’ll end up even richer after they buy the dip?

        Disaster Capitalism used to just mean assholes taking financial advantage of disasters. Now these fascists have started actually creating the disasters. The draining of California reservoirs should accomplish that nicely this coming summer. Trump’s tariffs, Musk’s take over of the Treasury systems and the coming interruption of Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security should be VERY profitable for all of them.

          Reminds me next time someone tells me how “hard” a CEO’s job supposedly is - how many companies does fElon have? And he has all day and all night to be xitting on xitter AND to supposedly run this operation for “government efficiency”? I guess being a CEO is some kind of part time job, in actual reality. At least for some companies.

          I now just LOL when some capitalist simp tells me how “hard” CEOs “work” and tell them fElon has entered the chat and ask them to explain that.
