Trump/Musk have announced a plan similar to Argentina where they cut a bunch of public services and refuce the functions of government:

....part of the plan is to crash the economy and cause 'hardship'... And they're more than likely going to do a massive transfer of wealth in the process. hedge funds use this tactic all the time, get your money ready, collapse a stock, buy it at a lower price, be wealthier when it returns.

They're going to do that with the whole economy. They want to own the whole pie.

I said hey, you, feed the machine

Bring them all back down to their knees

the 3rd panel is similar. I work at a grocery store as a highschool job and it's really sad seeing grown folks with hair thats literally gray hobbling around because they can't afford medical bills.

“How could democrats do this to us?”

-“Leftists” on lemmy

Education is not a solution to jobs paying too little.

Bold of you to presume that they will even accept your taxes at all, in order to keep those services solvent. Instead it looks very much rather like they will simply be removed from us, at any price point.

Interesting to see Jamie Harrison on the last panel.

Bunch of ragged trousered philanthropists
