thomas and alito both, are obviously paid for. everyone else on the bench should have their entire lives upended in a very thorough fbi investigation, uncover and publicize any and all skeletons they have hidden in the closest then impeach as necessary.
it’s so obvious what’s about to go down, when trump finally croaks (or in the unlikely event R’s grow a pair of testicles and finally turn on trump).
those old guard ghouls of the previous establishment republicans will crawl out of the woodworks, with many establishment neolib dem hands helping them along the way. like those of their billionaire buddies Newsom and Pritzer, who have had so much media success “keeping it real” vs. trump (all while ICE rips into their poor communities unfettered).
establishment R and establishment D will come out in force to impose order, attempt to reign in that conservative propaganda machine, placate progressives away from true reform etc. in the vain hope of trying to return to that unsustainable constant ratfuckery
and the worse part is it’ll probably work
I always imagined the Business Plot going down like…
this war hero who gave his entire life towards serving his country walks into congress exclaiming “by god you all need to hear this, these unscrupulous businessmen came to me trying to get me to pull a coup…”
congress goes - …slow blink… no need for a coup, they already own us. the war hero leaving with his entire reality shattered as he knows noone (no common man, atleast) would believe his story, especially not after the story is spun by the media conglomerates that were a part of the plot
then in a followup phonecall congress exclaims… “godfuckingdamnit JPM, do you really have to pull this prank on every other innocent (in the conscious sense) war hero we got? doesn’t that ever get old?”
how do you read in the shower, a water-proof ereader or some kind of waterproof book?
read Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, before taking youtubers or any other online financial/“investing” advice. was written over 100 years ago and it does better than anything else at providing…perspective…on how our (especially US) markets function
the US financial markets are the wild west, they operate more like a casino than a market, it’s why the rest of the world tolerates our shit…lack of regulation plus a largely under-educated population means the country as a whole serves as easy exit liquidity.
read a variety of books on whatever subject/area of “investing” your interested in, not videos. munger/buffet are good to follow along for most people, and to keep you from the worst gambling pitfalls. anyone selling courses and shit like that is at-best full of themselves (because everyone is a genius in a bull market) or worse a scammer looking for easy marks.
alot of big universities will have free online courses available for all sorts of subjects as well btw.
and last but not least…debt is 100% a trap, it is only when you understand this that debt becomes a tool
