Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.
Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.
But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.
Well, shit. I have been operating under the assumption that these were part of the same conspiracy.
But there have been some gaps that link the two things (linking Koch to Thiel on certain things, for instance) that I have assumed were merely gaps due to one party or the other doing better at hiding their involvement. I’ll have to bear what you said in mind as I continue to figure stuff out.
This isn’t a conspiracy. This is a well known and widely touted political agenda. They have white papers on this. They give speeches about this. There’s entire conferences about this, and not like PAC conferences, I mean like Network State conferences where the founder of Etherium has shifted from Seasteading 10 years ago to now wanting on land autonomous nations.
