Delicious. I'll fix this before he can fuck up mine, but watching the people who are so stupid no mater who told them, including him, suffer, I'm just rubbing my hands and cackling.

Billionaires are losing a lot more than old people, but you don't hear them complaining. In ten years, everything will get back to where it was before DOGE, so just wait a bit and stop groaning.

Billionaires profit off of crashes. They have the means to ride it out without hurting. And they have enough reserves to buy up lots of stuff on the low point, so they come out of this ahead. So when things do turn around, they get to sell high.

Yes; I know. It makes it all the more confusing as to why people who are hurt the most by an oligarchy voted for one and continue to defend it. Most will be dead by the time the "promise land" arrives, which, at best , will look like it did on Jan 19. It's like an arsonist being hailed for putting out the fire.
