This administration has made it obvious that no institution, soverign or not, is safe from corruption. Authority and power will always be turned inward to serve and outward to punish as the inward group grows ever scant. This country cannot tear itself apart fast enough. Its just too bad we will be experiencing the wet dreams of oligarchs for the rest of our lives.
Not sure why everyone here thinks the oligarchs want this anarchy and destabilization. This is all bad for business and this AI bubble is going to be Great Depression 2.0.
Yeah, the oligarchs are kissing Trump's ass, but that's just good business, doesn't mean they agree with him. They just want a seat at the table, favors, etc.
The system isnt rational, if something is good for business and good for workers, then it is a threat to the oligarchy. This is why a class analysis is so important.
During covid, wages went up, unemployment went down, profitability soared, business was pretty good in many sectors. What was the response? Raise interest rates, increase unemployment, drive down wages, increase prices.
Once you realise that unemployment and inflation are really one metric, it demonstrates how imprisoned the "free market" actually is. Good for business means little, only a society where workers own their time and produce is capable of being rational and fair
