The headline implies that they're indifferent to the country's welfare, but in reality, they're actively hostile to it. They're fine wrecking the economy if it makes them richer and/or leads to a Biden defeat in 2024.

They're fine ignoring the climate catastrophe if it makes their rich donors and dumbass voters happy.
