the american Century of Humiliation has begun
the document says programs affected are “including, but not limited to, financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal.”
Dear lord. Forget drinking it, these people drowned in the koolaid.
Conservatives went from understanding how to manipulate public perception of issues and their causes in order to alter the structure of the country however they wanted, to having their chairs filled by those they hoodwinked decades ago
I hope Nixon and Kissinger are watching this from Hell while screaming
people have been saying Milei is Argentina’s Trump but I think we forget that Trump is America’s Milei
We probably should be looking closer at Argentina’s fallout to glean what we can actually expect. Starting to feel like Argentina was the beta-test for this similar to Chile with western neoliberal projects.
Neoliberalism may be going the way of Keynesian economics.
With the added fun of … this will cause a global economic depression on par with the Great Depression, as US consumption drives a huge amount of other country’s exports, and US financial capital is so intertwined with everything.
Thats all gonna go up in smoke, so… contagion!
Hooray!
I didn’t realize shock therapy would be done in the dumbest way possible
I’m not trying to scare you, but all of you need to understand that no matter where you live right now, your job/career is literally hanging on whether Elon Musk gets to cut two trillion from the US federal budget or not.
If Elon gets his way, the US goes into recession. Millions will lose their jobs, and this will spiral to all the other sectors and send shockwaves across the world. Think 2009 GFC - there is not a country that will not be affected by it. Many more will lose their jobs, homes, savings as the economic prospect trends down, especially the export countries.
Crazy that whether I get to keep my job over the next few years or not is literally going to be decided by what Elon Musk gets to do. If you told me this even a year ago I would have laughed at you so hard.
And people still have an undying devotion to this system
Musk is not smart enough to make some of these decisions on his own, and I mean that very seriously. He has the emotional immaturity of a teenager and repeatedly proves it time and time again which puts everyone in danger (goes without saying).
To make matters worse, he’s the richest person in the world so there is no one to hold him accountable. Still has too many people thinking he’s Tony stark, inventing cars and rockets himself and believing he’s self-made. It’s hard to believe this is reality sometimes.
