Archive article: https://archive.is/SyLKE a 2019 GOP strategy meeting in the small town of Rockbridge, Ohio, attended by billionaires and media personalities including former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, hedge fund manager Rebekah Mercer, and economist Oren Cass. The attendees formed the “Rockbridge Network,” a GOP strategy network helmed by conservative venture capitalist Chris Buskirk, whose aim is to build a MAGA movement that outlasts Donald Trump by letting business leaders shape American policy.
I’ve read a lot about this incident. The bottom line is it was going to be too embarrassing to the US government and corporate interests and so the business leaders likely received a stern talking to behind closed doors to never attempt anything like this again or else bad things would happen to them (presumably family names ruined, contracts canceled, etc.). A deal that, in fairness, they appeared to honor afterward.
Meanwhile the US is throwing money and contracts at Peter Thiel after he said openly he is hostile to the state and wants to destroy America. When the dollar becomes worthless, what is he going to draw his power from?
Bitcoins!
Just don’t tell them how bitcoins have value…
At this point I dont know what would be better, if the dollar failed or if crypto failed. Ultimately, it will be both at the same time.
