New at The Nerd Reich: Curtis Yarvin Fears His Authoritarian Fantasy Is Flopping
Peter Thiel's "Dark Enlightenment" guru gives President Elon Musk a "C-."

Because the ultra rich aren't making their money exclusively off the stock market and they're capable of shorting stocks. Where there is movement there is an opportunity to exploit. The only people that will lose here are the poor and middle class.
TSLQ
Pure conjecture formed in the head of a pitch goalie. Inflation is going nowhere but up, tariffs only accelerate it. Doesn't address China or labor requirements at all. Obsessed with debt at the worst possible time. Truly deluded stuff.
A "workfare" "soup kitchen" and still the Republican mayor blocks it.
- They don't want state welfare they want private charity
- But then they don't want people getting handouts so they demand work in exchange for charity
- Then they don't want it in the vicinity of them (NIMBY)
I would also like to nominate Stephen Miran and Scott Bessent to your greater list though I realize bloat my quickly take hold of you're too loose with it.
The rich only get more excited by higher prices for luxury goods. It's their kink.
They get hit at the club and go home to take it out on their employees.
I’m confused as to how the design and execution of this tariff policy wasn’t flawless. 🇺🇸
Child Care Average Annual Salary: Around $33,094
Elderly Care Average Annual Salary: Around$33,530
Child care profit margins are 15-20% in some instances. Nursing homes are around 9% but pay to actual workers is very low. Again policy changes are needed to fix this.
We have a 4% unemployment rate.
7-8% of inventory is owned as a second home (4%) or institutional investors (3-4%) with the latter growing rapidly. Net profit margins on new construction is around 10%, leaving little room to attract new workers. Nothing will change without policy stimulating it.
Series of op-ed headlines from the post condemning tariffs and other Trump policies.
In the month+ since Jeff Bezos announced the WaPo editorial page would be advocating for “personal liberties and free markets,” there have been troubling resignations, at least one (Ann Telnaes) b/c of being silenced. But as of today, no real signs of substantive change.
Musk and the tech bro mafia are telling him robots will replace the work force while we get decimated by inflation for 10 years paying for it all. So he's just ignoring the logistics while he works on the greatest deal only a very stable genius and his sycophants could come up with...

This is the plan. It is all or nothing to our sherbet pervert.
It will in fact be nothing. It is entirely macro and puddle deep. It has no plan for inflation or restarting industry. Who would want to be vassal to a country that can't produce a ship?
If you appreciate this video and this work, please share it as widely as possible.
Thank you.

Oh no not Tik Tok or China whining!
So many more critical reasons to concern yourself with this moldy orange than him grifting Tok Tok stans or being equitable with China...
I'll be sure to ask Santa for the gift of policy this Christmas. It will be cheaper than a new rice cooker by then no doubt.
He can't write a SQL query so he'll bury the data in uncommented spaghetti code thrown together under a stop watch.
I've watched banks take 2 years just to meet Basel III reporting guidelines but he'll do it in a single session.
I feel autarky should be a goal, not a curse. Trade a compliment, not a core.
And war the last resort.
An age of terrifyingly dense information which is either hard to look at, hard to understand, or both. We are offered endless platters of pre-digested, heavily processed or entirely artificial information catered to ever limited time being consumed by consumption itself.
It's #2. Which is why there is no plan in place like Biden's inflation reduction act for chips, which Republicans conveniently kept from that bill, for other industries.
Not an endorsement but bad plans are still plans:
The two semi-cogent rationales you hear for tariffs are:
1/ (protectionism) tariffs will re-onshore jobs and industries by eliminating low cost competitors
2/ tariffs are great negotiating leverage to get concessions/better deals
It can't be *both* though. The tariffs have to stay to make 1 work.
You'd be coping
What if I told you neither party represents working Americans?
No universal healthcare
No addressing housing crisis
No minimum wage increase
No lower healthcare costs
No stopping offshoring
No addressing wealth divide
No addressing wage growth
Bailout banks 👍
Bailout students 👎
I can go on...
I like to include a few people from time to time that I disagree with generally but still have a good sense for things. Sometimes we do agree however...
Miller's skin flying from a flagpole on the Whitehouse lawn would bring tears of joy to my eyes.
House Bolton had some ideas I could get behind when applied correctly.
Honestly who dreamt this dog pile up? I want to rage at some long dead person...
Globalization was over. Get the fuck over it.
Trump's plan being shit is separate from this wild idea that a country can be exclusively service based. Where did this pipe dream erupt from? Some mutation of laissez-faire (the system free system)?
Maybe we should pay for the misery we outsource and allow other countries a middle class. This whole "we'll be a service economy thing" is a tiring argument.
Perhaps manufacturing workers should earn a fair share. Globalization should die but with a better plan in place than: tariffs and waiting
