I mean, it’d be you vs every other billionaire… bad odds it seems…
they could just do the ol’ fall out of the window thing
Ask Epstein.
I don’t think I would be worried about falling out a window in that scenario and if my investments are diversified it would be hard to get to me.
Isn’t that JB Pritzker and Mark Cuban?
None of them will ever go against each other. The one thing that the wealthy do understand is class solidarity and they will never go after or prosecute one of their own.
That’s what baffles me with the DOGE fracas. How long will solidarity hold when there are some very clear winners and losers within their own class?
There are a lot of billionaires who have fat revenue streams coming out of the federal budget, and I don’t think they’re all eager to trigger some sort of Mad Max/Medieval social collapse just so they can be the Archduke of San Jose after America implodes. I doubt they all bought the Network State story.
A fair number of them, expecting to live for more than 10 years and wanting to remain rich, probably invested aggressively into “skate where the puck is going” businesses that are now being slaughtered in the name of doubling down on fossil fuels and uncompetitive domestic manufacturers. Will Elon eat their losses? Of course, he’s committing financial seppuku too.
I think the end result of this DOGE bullshit will be the asset stripping of government functions, privatize them, then restore government funding.
the one thing that the wealthy do understand is class solidarity
Seems we in the working class should learn something from them. Too often we fight amongst ourselves (by design!) when we should be going after the rich.
Lol that wouldn’t be a change of heart for me. Hate the guy personally.
