The fact that this clown is a “Top US Health Official” is a great indication of an empire in decline.

Shit like that gets you labeled a Communist in today’s GOP.


Paid with what? Who stops him from demanding more, and how are they paid and with what? Billionaire power comes from currency that is spendable on a large open market. The market doesn’t exist anymore.


Why will the handyman keep coming?


Look dude I get it you really like Elon
0/10 reading comprehension.
but he’s a criminal and deserves to go to jail or hang for the thousands of people who died due to his USAID cuts.
Agreed.
I’m done with this conversation and you
Cool but what I was saying is that you’ll never pin any of this on him because he managed to do all the damage he did without committing a crime. The fact that this was possible is itself the problem . You haven’t even engaged with what the actual problem is, you’re just reacting emotionally.


What crimes? Name them. And how they would be proven beyond a reasonable doubt? Remember, all he has to do is create reasonable doubt. These guys have staff who will literally do nothing much make sure that doubt exists. Name one specific order he gave ar DOGE that is verifiable - one order that he definitely gave, that a specific person definitely followed. You can’t do it. Prosecutors won’t be able to either.
If anything there will be more of a case against government workers for following instructions from people who had no legal authority to give them.
This is why granting someone power completely outside of legal bounds - outside of any laws that govern the cabinet - is a really really bad idea.


Lol dude even the prison from Andor needs maintenance staff who aren’t prisoners to operate and fix shit. This model doesn’t work when prisoners and the prison are all there is.


Their bunkers plans are mostly insane. Zuck has a bunker designed for him and like 100 staff. I don’t think he understands how the power dynamics are going to change once civilization ends and his money isn’t worth anything.


For what? All that damage and it’s extremely unlikely he committed a crime. He held no official cabinet position and had no official authority. Probably didn’t even do much of anything himself. US isn’t capable of holding a billionaire accountable.
It’s amazing that they made that journey with dicks fully out the whole time.


They will vote him again .


The number AIPAC pays him actually doesn’t mean much because Schumer is so central to their operations that they would pay him literally whatever be needed to stay in power. 1.7M is just what it cost to keep him in power. They would gladly give him 20M if that’s what it took.


It’s an interesting dynamic. AIPAC provides a clear path for politicians willing to toe the line of absolute, unthinking support of Israel in all things. But AIPAC only works towards Israel’s strategic depth if that support is truly absolute. They still have so much strategic depth that AIPAC occupies itself by denying even the conversation about how much support Israel should get through actions this one - there is no conversation, they must get whatever they ask for and anyone who disagrees is an anti Semite.
The problem with this all-or-nothing approach is that it lets them get completely out flanked - they can’t control someone who never wanted AIPAC support in the first place.

For clarification, dairy in the US is heavily subsidized and as a result the US dairy industry over supplies massively. The industry wants to 1)retain these subsidies and 2) gain export markets to drive up demand so they can raise prices (including in the US). As stupid as that is domestically, for other no country’s domestic dairy industry can possibly compete without equivalent subsidies or some kind of protection.
So framing this as wanting to compete in the “free market” is complete nonsense since the US is purposely distorting the shit out of the dairy market by propping up their supply side.
This message has nothing to do with mods or your comments. Reddit would never give mods this kind of power. It happened to me too, and it has nothing to do with comments. Something was just broken on the Reddit back end. It was happening on every thread for about an hour and a half.


Neither are most Americans so you’re fine.


The comment is a response to the title - that China’s exports are “overbearing” as if China is inflicting trade on others unilaterally. The point is that whatever extent to which the US is a victim in this, it was a victim entirely by choice, and a great many people in the US for richer for it. They could have decided not to bypass the local labour market by using China for manufacturing, but there was profit to be made. China just got good at it and used it to their advantage.
The only thing on a real American ruler is red white and blue .
Her name is melanoma and I won’t hear otherwise
It basically doesn’t matter if she resigns or not. Whoever takes her place will be decided by Trump who will just want someone who will cover up the worst of the Epstein files, run cover to ICE misconduct, and never prosecute those who bribe Trump. Whether it’s Bondi or not barely matters.
