That’s their secret, captain. They don’t.

To be fair, I think most of USA is on recreational drugs, legal, illegal, or “prescription”. That shouldn’t matter as much compared to his other actions.

The problem is systemic, it didn’t start with Trump. He’s just way more flagrant.

In an ideal world, investors (and big shareholders) would be interviewed to see if they’re committed to the thing they’re investing on. “Have millions make me billions” or being a nepo baby shouldn’t be valid reasons. This is why every thing they touch converges to enshittification.

This was clear since such a big and supposedly effective intelligence apparatus failed to stop or warn about the Hamas attack that gave Israel pretext to go full ethnic cleaning and warmongering.

They knew, they allowed it, and paid a modest price in Israeli casualties to kickstart their plan. Also, Ukraine was attracting all the war funding, they couldn’t risk USA reducing their military allowance.

I hate that USA is enabling them, and at the same time being hipocritical about wanting a peaceful solution. Cut their funding if you want to stop them. Freeze their assets like NATO did with Russia. Act, don’t talk.

Crypto has just made more evident how finance wizards are simply adept at saying something is incredibly valuable, and getting people to believe them. Tesla has no reason to be so valuable. SpaceX I’d agree, but Tesla has been overtaken at every aspect by other companies.
