    Even the oldskool robber barons were never this brazen. Elon dismantling USAID was quite literally the richest man in the world robbing the poorest people on earth. Taking food out of the mouths of starving babies.

    You couldn’t write a fictional villain like this because your editor would deem it unrealistic or over the top.

    But here we are.

    Yes. I thought we were doing McKinley 2.0: all subsidies to to rich, none to the working class (so no middle class formation), more homeless, more tariffs, more cost.

    That and an end to the US Constitution.
