Our President finds Ecomonics & Math Really, Really Hard...
He did it. He really fucking did it (see previous post). How stupid can Stupid be? $3.1 Trillion smackers stupid. That's pretty stupid. There is no good reason to crash the global economy, unless you are super-stupid, or you hate the USA and everyone else in the world too.
Hell, Economics and Math, turns out they are hard for Mr. MAGA-Stupid. Maybe get a 5 year old kid to explain why this all is batshit stupid:
There’s a fundamental problem with Donald Trump’s new trade policy: it fails a test that actual 5th graders can pass. I know this because I tried explaining his “Liberation Day” trade plan to one last night. Here’s how that conversation went:
“Imagine you want to buy a toy at a store which costs $50. You pay for the toy and walk away with it. The President looks at that transaction and says ‘wait, you paid the store $50 and the store paid you nothing, therefore the store is stealing from you. To “fix” this, I’m going to tax the store $25. From now on that same toy costs $75.”
The 5th grader looked at me like I was crazy. “Whaaaaaaat? None of that makes sense. If I pay for something, it’s not stealing. And taxing the store seems stupid, and then everything is more expensive. Why would anyone do that? That can’t be how it works.”

A Brilliant Ad Campaign In London...
Yes. The Swasticar ads popping up on the streets of London are brilliant. Supposedly a group called, "Everyone Hates Elon," dreamed up this fabulous campaign. Those out of the loop might ask: "Why Does Everyone Hate Elon?" That's easy. Being super-rich, coming out as a Nazi, trying to swing elections around the world to hard-right-white-supremacy parties, intent on robbing working folks of their healthcare and social safety-net programs, buddying up and partnering with America's newly-elected Toxic-Tyrant, desiring to rule over all the humans on the planet; well, that just doesn't sit well with some segments of the human population.
There is brand-building, and then there is anti-brand-building. One day this will be an incredible case-study for those interested in pop culture and advertising. A man, and a brand, destroyed by one man's own hubris, arrogance, and self-sabotage. One exuberant Nazi-salute, and the empire of $ started to crack & crumble. Ha. Ha. Ha. The Telsa Takedown is in full swing. People Power in action. Beautiful...

Can We Make that Nazi-Oligarch Cry?
A billboard going up on a wall in London. You gotta hand it to the Brits. They really know their Nazis. Tesla. The cars are crashing, and so is the stock. The Fast & the Fuhrer a new flick coming to a screen near you.
Oh yeah, don't forget this rich guy has also joined forces with Trump to rob Americans of their social-net-safety programs: Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security. I kid you not. The audacity of the wealthy. Cuts for the commom folks to feed the beast of tax cuts for billionaires. Another example of how too much power & wealth is not good for a Human Being, or the Human mind. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
So yeah, most of Musk's wealth is "on paper," embodied in the inflated price of his car company. How's that going?
"And as of March 11, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, that has meant $126 billion being shaved off Musk's own personal wealth since the beginning of this year, not an insignificant amount despite his massive financial holdings."
Ha. Down $126 Billion since the beginning of the year?! That is a great start. Come on folks, keep it going. How low can it go? It all leads one to wonder: "Can we make that Nazi-Oligarch cry?"

Disordered Discourse, Disordered Minds...
Eliot Higgins. One of the great finds on Blue Sky: Founder and creative director of Bellingcat and director of Bellingcat Productions BV. Author of We Are Bellingcat. Tonal Whiplash Zone.
"Disordered discourse." Of course. It's a cultural/political schizophrenia. It is so disturbing for folks on the other side of the MAGA ideological chasm. A paradigm shift. We went from benevolent, honest, sleepy Joe, the caretaker of America and Democracy around the world, to a Gangsta/Authoritarian/Creep/Made in America Oligarchy intent on demolishing everything we hold dear in our Democracy.
It seemed to happen in a blink of an eye. And we sort of slept-walked into it. And now, all of our institutions are being corrupted. It's like a sickness, a virus, a plague, a madness seeping into every nook and cranny of our country.
And you can't argue or reason with the disordered mind or the party of disordered minds. Point out that they are wrong on the facts, and on the wrong side of reality, and history, and they will deny the facts and the reality and try to rewrite the history. They will double and triple down on the lies.
That is where we are at the moment. Some of us live and die with every new development, every little outrage, act of corruption and madness. Some of us are ignoring it all, hoping it all works out. The disordered minds and the disordered discourse is wreaking havoc here and abroad. Fuck. Yikes. It's sickness. No doubt. Clearer heads are spinning. WTF?!?

"The Worst Versions of Themselves..."
Paul Krugman nails it here: "A Mind is a terrible thing to Lose." We have unbound, and unleashed the Two-Headed Mad King Monster. And together they are intent on destroying our beautiful country. A beautiful, thriving Democracy is also a terrible thing to lose. As they say, read it and weep. Those will be real tears you will shed, no doubt. Krugman is always brilliant and insightful.
Are these two crazed, unhinged, billionaires stupid, corrupt, crazy? Why not all three?!
At the end of the piece Krugman comes up with a fabulous formulation.What happens when the powerful & wealthy get so powerful & wealthy they become untethered to the real world?
"Cowed Republicans and timid Democrats have effectively given Trump and Musk the freedom to become the worst versions of themselves. And the whole world will pay the price." - Paul KrugmanTuesday, March 11, 2025

The Downside of "Unfettered Capitalism" = Thy Name is Musk!
Ha. Yes. It seems the Tesla Cybertrucks are now joining the Tesla Takedown movement (see previous post), they are committing ritual Seppuku on the streets of America.
Who in their right mind would want to ride in one those "self-driving" monsters?
From Heather Cox Richardson: "In the Public Notice interview, Thor Benson asked Ryan Mac: “What’s something about Elon’s huge role in the Trump administration that people perhaps aren’t understanding?” Mac answered that Musk is the manifestation of the nation’s extreme wealth inequality."“What happens,” he asked, “when there is unfettered capitalism that allows people to accumulate this much money and this much power?”

Robbing Americans of their Jobs, their Healthcare, and SSI...
Maybe going full Nazi is bad for business? Maybe being the face and most blatant example of the insane, rampant, over the top, income inequality & disparity of wealth, pervasive in America, is a bad branding idea? Why is this man trying to rob Americans of their HealthCare and Social Security? Who appointed this man Emperor? Maybe this billionaire class is a bit "over their skis?" Maybe they haven't thought through the consequences of so boldly lording over the people? There are a few of them vs. many, many, many of us.
Sometimes in the midst of the bad shite, you stumble across some good news. This Tesla Takedown movement seems to be working:
"The company’s poor performance has also affected Musk’s personal wealth. At the beginning of February, Musk’s net worth was around $433 billion. Today, that number is $330 billion, per Bloomberg’s billionaire index—a drop of $103 billion."
