yah. the trump tax cuts end on 1/1/2026, but honestly i think this is all bigger than that. they will just money print to keep the tax cuts like they did in 2017+

it's so fucked up because i genuinely think they want to bring manufacturing back because war. but like, if they bring manufacturing back no one wants to pay fair, livable wages so it's all automation.

so cool we brought manufacturing back but it's all machines.

and they don't care. i don't see how that shores up the american dollar and american work force if there's 24%+ real unemployed.

ffs i know this is radlib as all hell but 2016, 2020 why didn't bernie win?

for real. i've spent maybe like 8 hours today reading through all of it. it's all reminiscent of Reagan/Volcker and abandoning the bretton woods system.

they're remaking the global economy, again. the proles are going to have to pay for it, again.

capitalism is fucking stupid.

looking at the graph, real wages only increased 7%. inflation during that time period increase 80%.

also important to remember, "inflation" is based on the CPI, which isn't truly accurate or fair. if you compare it to an actual, legitimate CPI, it's way way way more fucked.

read the graph again. nominal is not real wages.

it's linked here. feels like Bush/Project for a New American Century.

his treasury secretary wrote this back in October too: https://archive.ph/IYXLe

seems like: crash the market, negotiate individually, new trade deals guaranteeing permanent/ongoing softening of the US Dollar.

i also appreciate all the user's providing analysis of what's going on other than "trump bad" or "trump insane." other than this site, the internet has mostly been a useless pile of shit this past week.

just saw something from Devs:

We're changing our game's name to 'Infestation: Origins'. Our game, "Infestation 88" is set in the 1980s with the year 1988 chosen simply due to its symmetrical design in the game's artwork/logo. Unfortunately, we were unaware of any additional meanings the number 88 has. However, after learning about this, we're changing the game's name to "Infestation: Origins." We apologize for our ignorance on this and appreciate that this was brought to our attention so we could address it ASAP!

yah. ok...
