Can you just imagine the wealth we have in the world? Every single person on Earth could live in their own home, with clean water electricity and food, and we could have a great education system and a society for all, we have the money to do that several times over
It is only because the system that has afflicted the planet has taken over everything and refuses to let it happen!
Has there ever been a more explicit, formal, and overt monetization of the presidency or any government position? Remember when the fucking idiots who voted for this pile of shit whined and whined about “the swamp”?
Outrage fatigue has set in, along with a fucked up economy, weak job market, and inflation. Will people accept all this as the "new normal" and just keep trying to survive it? Most will until they can't anymore. I don't know what that's going to look like, but I hope it's rooted deeply in civil disobedience and destruction of corporate control over us all.

Incredible levels of corruption
Trump is getting very wealthy at the expense of America as a whole

The only reason he ran was to stay out of jail and make himself rich. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone else.

That's why if he very unlikely manages to live out his term in office, he will never give up hos seat. He knows once he's out he's done.
Like some bana republic dictator in the 60's.

Remember when the Biden Crime Family just openly charged fees for insider trading information?
Yeah. Me neither.

No. There literally never has. By orders of magnitude.

I remember when Americans took to the streets over a couple of cops being unjustly exonerated for beating a guy.
Americans aren't angry enough anymore.

A few well placed Luigi's is also fine.

I have told my kids before. That I do not look down upon others because in certain situations I would do the same for them.

Remember when the whole country was upset about the colour of a suit?

So he's turning his market manipulation into a service to sell market manipulation.
venusaur@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 30d
He’s clearly confirming that the market can be manipulated.

I mean, it's been a straight up racket for the past century.
We're back to Feudalism, with AI and robots.

How is the SEC not all over this?
Zeppo@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 30d
The SEC that he controls? Who should be doing something is Congress. But, they're mostly in on it.
anarchy79@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 30d
SEC and Wall Street is just a revolving merry go round.

It's worse when the president himself is heavily into insider trading

Lawless country. Will crash and burn.

The people responsible will survive and get away with it.
If we let them.

Insider Trading As A Service (ITAAS).

This will devalue the dollar and send the american stocks/indices crashing in the long run, right?
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 29d
one can hope.
I used to think there was a way out of this peacefully.
Now I just want this whole thing to crash and burn fast enough so we can hunt down the billionaires and politicians then get back on track.
