partyandBSif they go down though, be sure to give the praises to our almighty savior, donald j trump
Yep.
So, a week in what have we got here?
Still a war in Ukraine
Opening up more options to Israel
Prices haven't gone down
We've removed ourselves from global organizations ceding ground to foreign adversaries
Claimed, and put into movement large tariffs on allies
Rescinded jobs, leaving people in actual jobs, that had offers, unemployed
Passed an executive order that contradicts the constitution
Put a hold/stop on grants, negatively affecting American industry and scientific institutions
and talked about a third term.
Did I miss anything? Is this the Gilded Age? The rest of the world talking about separating from the U.S., the gutting of American institutions, billionaires given offices in the west wing, a stock market drop, contradictory tariffs etc. etc.
Who benefitted this week, outside of foreign adversaries, Sam Altman and Elon Musk? It surely wasn't my company, infrastructure, or stem. It surely wasn't my buddy, getting his PhD and researching cutting-edge polymer smart boi stuff who may no longer get funding. It surely wasn't my friends who had their TJOs rescinded who moved and no longer have jobs. It surely wasn't our allies, surely wasn't our stock market, surely wasn't the price of eggs.
Big winners of this week were China, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman.
