    Trump/Musk have announced a plan similar to Argentina where they cut a bunch of public services and refuce the functions of government:

    …part of the plan is to crash the economy and cause ‘hardship’… And they’re more than likely going to do a massive transfer of wealth in the process. hedge funds use this tactic all the time, get your money ready, collapse a stock, buy it at a lower price, be wealthier when it returns.

    They’re going to do that with the whole economy. They want to own the whole pie.

      Do they not know that Americans choose their politicians based on egg prices? They will be fucked in the midterms if they go through with this assuming they don’t rig it too hard

        The entertainment corporation “Fox news” will tell them that the egg prices are lower than they are, and a median voter will believe it, and they will pay more money, while believing that they aren’t.
