I’ve been thinking this basically the whole time with the second administration. It’s the most conspiracy oriented I’ve ever been, but I genuinely think there is a non zero chance that the entire goal of this administration has been to crash the dollar and world economy to force the globe into a position where digital currencies take over nation state derived currency as the foundation of global markets. I’d say I’m 5-10% confident this is the case, which is very high. That their goal is to destabilize not just the world, but the very concept of nation-states to be replaced with a corporate/privately owned concept of a nation state or state level actor. I know there are specific conspiratorial threads on this concept but I e intentionally avoided looking into those. I think there is ample evidence at the surface only to have this kind of suspicion.

Get ready for all the magamushferbrainz to start saying how inflation is good for us and they looooove high gas prices. He’s under 30% approval? Just who are the remaining 20-some percent of people that think he’s doing good on the economy? Look, I get why the centimillionaires, billionaires, and centibillionaires would support Republican policies. They stand to make buckets more. But if you are not in that stratosphere, why would you think he’s doing you any favors?

I hate to do this to you guys, but Iran’s going to have a nuclear weapon very soon. We have to go and attack. Am I wrong to interpret that as overtly sarcastic? Like he is making an off handed remark that the nuclear weapon thing has always been a bs justification toattack another country?

Now just imagine if Biden did or said this. Or Obama, or Hilary. The right would have a full on meltdown and a J6 everyday.

That’s 4.2 percent per month, not 4.2 percent per year like we usually look at the numbers
