If there are no other comments in this thread, it’s because aMockTie has summed it up perfectly and concisely.

This article compares the first fifty days of each presidency, Biden wins quite handily.

Shouldn’t have renamed it, now it’s angry.

I use "Yesterday for old reddit" for a rough Apollo-like experience on iOS devices. That being said, i'm gradually shifting away from reddit as i find more communities on lemmy.

Came across this youtube video as well, which is interesting (perhaps once again gives too much credit to Trump, but also fleshes out some of his financial advisors and why they might be on board) I like that the author also gets into the economic history that leads what might be happening.

Once again though, i'm not really convinced. Seems like a huge risk and a gigantic bet on something that could easily break US hegemony permanently, and for what? The US is already on top of the economic pile with only minor threats to it's position. A more direct path of investment in new technologies seems like a safer bet.

Are there any reputable economists that think this has a chance?

Just like Trump is a poor person's idea of a rich man, Elon is a stupid persons idea of a smart man. He's not a complete moron like Trump, but he's no Stephen Hawking either.

Funny there was a town/region in Norway (i think, it's been a long time) that had proposed such a plan. I thought it was Ringke or somesuch, but it came off as really racist, like the "we only want the white ones back" sort of thing. Not sure what became of it.

As a father, at least half the lessons my son has learned weren't ones i'd intended. But he's a good kid, so something worked out.

nearly as damaging

really? More BS false equivalence. The liberals where never in control enough to make any of that happen. They may not be perfect by any means but to say they're "nearly as damaging" as the right is just ridiculous.

Sound like "A boy named Sue"

What kind of low rent dictator has to park on the street?
