Who is paying for this?
Donald Trump is terrorizing the US government. But I have a question. Who is paying for this?
Tarriffs at least are self explanatory, they are paid for by the common man.
But “buying” Greenland, BRO you are $36.22 trillion in debt? Who are you borrowing enough money to buy Greenland?
The Panama canal, do you know where Panama is? (I sure as hell don’t) and why the hell do we care (they’ve gone ghost on this)
Creating a “Arabian Riveria” in the Gaza strip? Who is paying for this my brother in Christ? The Arabs? The Jordanians and the Egyptians the Syrians and Lebanese are going to pay for the ethnic cleansing of their neighbours? Why? So they can be next? Or if the Americans pay, you haven’t repaid reparations to the slaves that built your country, so why do I believe you will compensate the Palestinians for their land? And even if you don’t do you think building the entire country up from scratch is going to be cheap? If so, why don’t you build your own country? What is they saying? “America first?”
The firing of these government employees who will go on an external gardening leave? Who has money for paying for all these employees to get paid and not work? I thought your country was broke? I thought you couldn’t afford more government waste. Isn’t the idea of paying people for not working inherently wasteful? All that knowledge gone so when anything breaks and you start to get outages and your country collapses you are cooked.
They had 2 air crashes last week. Killed over 70 people total. 64 in a plane, 3 in the first military helicopter.
Then a helicopter crash in Philadelphia, 7 people killed. Now funnily I blame Biden on them, because you can’t blame someone 7 days in because its unlikely its something they did that caused air traffic control to misdirect people twice in 2 days. How do we know its not pilot failure? But apparently its DEI? Are the pilots women? Veteran air forces? Black people? Are we victim blaming? They died.
What about DEI programmes? If all these women/disabled/ethnic minority end up unemployed/underemployed because they are DEI hires, so who is paying for their social security? Who is dealing with the recession? Because those people whilst employed buy food, luxuries they buy from Amazon, they may even buy Teslas if they are well enough paid, they support the economy, so when they become unemployed who is propping the economy when the recession hits? Do you want to be the one who people blame for single handedly crashing a $1.7trillion economy? And you will be blamed. People will see the people you deported who picked the strawberries and the grapes and see that they can’t afford that anymore. They will see all the government agencies that were big employers in their town and all the sandwich businesses going out of businesses and all the private sector companies who had government contracts going bust.
All of a sudden, veteran services? Screw it. Old people? Them next. If your grandma dies because she can’t afford the medical bills because her Medicaid got pulled and the nice man who was meant to take her to her appointments got fired because the Neo-Nazi decided he didn’t like it. I originally said “the immigrant Neo Nazi” Butt I don’t want the word “immigrant to be considered an insult, because my parents are immigrants and I actually don’t have a problem with immigrants, once you are here, I expect the same things as the native population, pay taxes, law and order must be followed, be a good neighbour etc…
Notice another parallel from history. Hitler, as many Germans point out, isn’t German. He’s Austrian. He saw Germany as the motherland and piggy banked to the motherland.
Elon Musk isn’t American. He’s a South African he sees the US as a cradle bed of white nationalism. So off he goes to the motherland.
Now we are stuck with the crackhead who believes in Übermensch and all sorts of nonsense. Because the deification of intelligence and hustle culture of silicon valley in which they work to crippling levels to do superhuman stunts for a short period of time is what we worship. Is Elon paying for the burnout of these young men at 35 and the dementia care from 75? Doubt it. The volunteering of young men for the slaughter is very SS and WW1 vibes. Just bone crunching, throwing the hopes and dreams of a generation of men for stardom in the eyes of “dear leader” is definitely Hitler-esque. Just like the SS and the soldiers of WW1 and WW2 we will never know their names but we know the damage they did.
My favourite bit over the past few days was when Vivek Ramashwani had to resign from Elon’s department. He thought he was white and whenever pick-me’s don’t get picked I always love it. Sick I know, schenfreude to the extreme, but I don’t…in fact care. He thought because Elon was an African he’d be “different” nope. He is a South- African and he believes in white supremacy. So well done.
But seriously, who is paying for this madness, because it’s giving 1930’s vibes.
The only thing I will say is people in the 1930’s whilst knowing it was wrong didn’t have the history of a genocide to pull from in the past 100 years which was televised.
We do.
Those who don’t learn from history will repeat it.
Courage and Grace.
