Milei needs to do more insane things if he wants to keep his job.

  That just means it's time to declare martial law, proscribe the legislature, and try to launch a coup.

  Having an executive do crazy things all the time is unstable. Systems tend to evolve towards a stable state. A dictator with absolute power, an impeached executive, or a dictator removed by populace uprising are the likely outcomes of nonsensical positions.

    I guess we'll see how long it takes here. So far I don't see massive general strikes anytime soon. Given how spread out the US is, you need to get a good chunk of the population to turn out and we're not close yet.

        The problem is that the demagogues will just convince many people that it wasn't really their fault, that this is the fault of the previous administration and they're just trying to "clean it up". That will likely work for a while. They don't have to convince everyone, just enough people to ensure that protests can't reach a critical mass.

But he said it was a meme coin and not an investment opportunity? I mean I think Trump should be impeached yesterday, but maybe not for that one?

  Interesting that official site [1] doesn't even use the word "coin". Yes, it of course has all the disclaimers that it's not an investment. Also that it "is not political and has nothing to do with any political campaign". In case anyone got the wrong impression. [1] https://gettrumpmemes.com/ https://gettrumpmemes.com/

  The groups that will use the coin as a bribery vehicle don't need to be told.
