The financial squeeze is to make him desperate enough to either make a mistake or take a guilty plea. The feds have unlimited resources, and they never stop.
But Trump always gets away with it. He has “Boeing murdered its whistleblower while he was being deposed” billionaire status in the “justice” system.
The neverending prosecution meets the lawless billionaire. Shades of Al Capone and Elliot Ness, except it’s important to remember that Capone could have won.
Wealth and status buys basically everything in America, even more so now than in the Gilded Age. Economic inequality in America passed pre-Revolution France a long time ago. We’re in uncharted waters.
“We’re definitely not practicing a make-believe science designed to make sure the wealthy always benefit no matter the economic circumstances,” said the last economist with a fading shred of hope.
Netanyahu has been adamant about going after Iran's nuclear capability for over a decade. It wouldn't surprise me if this drone attack was to probe the air defenses around those facilities.
A bad economy and uncertain future make people very afraid. It’s tempting to stick your head in the sand, blame all your problems on a specific demographic, then trust dear leader will punish the people that made you scared.
It’s completely divorced from reality, but reality sucks right now. People are scared. They’re taking the blue pill to feel better and pretend the horror all around them isn’t happening. They won’t max out their credit cards and become homeless. Dear Leader will fix things before that happens.
While Netanyahu would love to draw all of NATO into a giant Middle Eastern conflict, I think he knows that goal isn't realistic. What he's likely aiming to accomplish is to destroy as much of Iran's nuclear program as possible. That's been his goal for over a decade.
While slumping over a desk for 9 hours straight improves back health. Prevents 100% of cases of lumbago.
It’s not just that the old money dragons of commercial real estate are losing money, it’s also that middle management nothings need to exert their authority over you in person to feel relevant.
WFH makes every company money on decreased overhead. The war against it is 100% commercial property landlords that collect rent in the billions.
Fuck every single one of those fucking assholes. They are destroying our world to squeeze out just a little more.
Why would I want Biden to start a war with Iran? Israel is about to ramp things up and his support is ironclad. The US joining an Israeli war against Iran is a legitimate concern.
People who work full-time jobs used to be middle class. Living wages, affordable housing, yearly vacations, etc. Now, working people are still in poverty.
Behold my meaty, majestic tentacles. This better not awaken anything in me...
