No discernable benefit to you maybe, but every crisis ends up benefiting those at the top as it always leads to a wealth transfer either during the crash phase, or the recovery phase, or both. See 2009 crash, Covid, etc.
Your leadership doesn't work to serve you, they work to serve themselves and the elite. People keep calling Trump a stupid bafoon but how come this stupid bafoon keeps getting richer and richer all the time if he's as stupid as people think him to be?
To whit, how much are you willing to bet that after Trump's mandate is over in 4 years time, both Trump, Elon and all his other cronies, will walk away with a bigger net worth than the one they came in? So no, what you see as stupidity now on the news is actually a carefully orchestrated multi year enrichment plan for the elite covered in bread and circus to distract the plebs, that will become evident as time goes on and events unfold.
- lifestyleguru 2y agoThere is nothing left down here to be vacuumed up, as we probably agreed by now that trickling down doesn't happen.
- Detrytus 2y agoMaybe that's the Trump plan? 1. Launch TRUMP and MELANIA cryptocurrencies to get a few hundred millions of dollars of cash. (and possibly also get some cash from the "First Buddy" Elon Musk) 2. Announce tariffs, and in general cause chaos, crashing the stock market. 3. Buy the dip. 4. Revoke all tariffs. 5. Profit.

- maxehmookau 2y agoTrue. Sorry, I thought that was implied!
- 9dev 2y agoTangent, but I think from a certain level onwards, money keeps multiplying itself. You’ve got people working for you that take care of the smart decisions and investments, and people like trump are way too busy with their schemes and bullshit to care about the „boring“ parts of tending to their wealth.
