Why would Musk do this? It seems notable that one of Musk’s heroes is the current president of Argentina, Javier Milei, who has been credited with taking a “chainsaw” to the nation’s government. Milei, an avowed “free market,” “anti-woke” libertarian, took office in December of 2023, and has instituted what he calls an “austerity” budget, characterized by economic “shock treatment.” This strategy has involved making deep cuts to government spending on social welfare programs, devaluing the peso, and cutting thousands of government jobs, all in the hope of some vague libertarian glowup in the near to far future.
And Biden gets blamed for Trump’s economy while Trump is celebrated for Obama’s economy. Fuck is wrong with people.
I mean, that’s the natural result of Biden’s reluctance to blame Republicans for anything and all his efforts to work with them and praise them whenever they do anything remotely positive, and now Harris can’t stop bragging about all the endorsements she got from Republicans who helped set these cycles up in the past. It’s totally predictable that a lot of people are confused and just think “politicians” are to blame when we have Dems like this.
Yeah, this is true. Biden crossed aisles. Obama used a super majority to fix healthcare in a bipartisan manner. And this resulted in Democrats getting smacked by republicans for over a decade. Even though it was a bipartisan effort!
They’re all too busy believing the loudest person in a suit that they can find.
Surely being loud in a suit means what you say is important, right? The louder the more important… and look at how long that tie is. Surely that’s the bestest person to listen to.
I used to have a boss who likes to credit Obama’s economy to Bush, saying that presidential economic policies take 4-8 years to be felt.
Didn’t have much to say about why Bush I’s economy sucked though, for some reason.
