The Devil's Eyebrow

They don't seem overly concerned with public opinion or the possibility they might be removed from power by the vote.

likely, they are banking on us to revolt so they can deploy the military domestically.

If the whole thing seems like unchecked expectations - so did the dissolution of NATO prior to 2016.

There are no checks. There are no balances. There is nothing stopping them...

This isn't Trump's vanity - this is the oligarchs, who do not care about nation states, carving up the globe as a resource grab.

The US will annex Greenland. The US will invade Canada. The US will kill protesters, starting with the students.

Concentration camps. Gulags. The disappearing of opponents and mass killings of the undesirables.

Europe will try to unify, but their democracies are already beset by oligarchs, from Putin to Musk, who are financing newly emboldened far-right fringe groups and political candidates.

Europe may rally and pull together.

Or, they may fracture from external pressure and splinter from internal dissention; that is the plan.

Works fine as long as you don't mind being late. Limiting your travel times. Tripling the length of your commute. And braving a mobile-psychiatric dayroom environment in order to go anywhere..

You all heard Captain Slow.

Hand over them keys.

Actually, that would be amazing. Unfortunately, living in a major North American city, I don't have enough wealth to be without a car.

Likely you could take a camera and follow three servile oligarchs around for the rest of your natural life and never get a shot that so completely captures what they are about

You could also boil the seas to power LLM and blockchain nonsense as we go hurtling towards our doom

And, since we are doing that anyway -you can doodle out pics of asshats looking stupid which is, arguably, a much better use than crypto.

Jeeze.

And they keep saying AI is useless..

This is nuts.

We can't choose our leaders based on how effective they are in hand to hand combat!

Stick with the current system: the one where we choose our leaders based on how much money they can raise.

Oh man.. probably should have passed laws to regulate data harvesting and digital privacy back in the 90s

when the Internet was still just a series of tubes...

He has, ultimately, too much money for him to accidently experience a brush with sanity...

So... You're saying we shouldn't be giving the richest man in the world an animal tranquilizer along with unlimited power over our government?

I mean.. we all have that friend who does mushrooms or drops acid and thinks they are the savior of the human race.

The only difference is that the next day they have to go work their shift at IHOP rather than waking up and being the richest person in the world.

Republican administrations tank the economy when it's business as usual.

This is the dissolution and piecemeal sale of the US Government.

Of course there is going to be a fucking recession!

I mean, they can only steal so much / so quickly WITHOUT building them...

... Big Meat?

Can't make an omelette without breaking the bank.

Generation Oregon Trail or Xennial, depending on your life choices.

No mate. A Muppet Movie with Gov. Abbott as the villain.

It will be hard to tell if they are being obnoxious or not, you know, once we lose power.
