    Well, we can just print more money! That’s the solution for both capitalism and socialism, works every time.

    Don’t worry, the predatory bankers that are appointed to the Fed are surely looking out for our best interests, they would never, ever abuse their positions for the benefit of JP Morgan or anything like that, don’t be silly

      Monetary shenanigans only seem like a good idea to people that don’t understand economics.

      Actual economics is about the value of work. Fluctuations the the value of money don’t accomplish much. Consider Cuba which does all kinds of monetary shenanigans. People just do black market money deals to get around it. Capitalism finds a way.

        The companies now being funded by the U.S. government, in other words the U.S. taxpayer, in other words, fucking me?

        In other other words, I’m footing the bill for a limp-dicked wanna-be pedophile who’s not only not from my country, but can pay to take control of it whenever he wants?

        This country, and Elon musk specifically, fucking sucks donkey dicks.
