To the GOP + their corporate Dem auxiliary’s threat that the elite won’t invest if we don’t surrender to them endless certain profit, I’d say “crypto”.

“Capitalism without government-granted patent and copyright monopolies is still capitalism.” Capitalism without competition is feudalism. To the GOP + their corporate Dem auxiliary’s threat that the elite won’t invest if we don’t surrender to them endless certain profit, I’d reply “crypto”.

Trump has the threat of a cult of potential millions of Americans. JD has nothing. The first thing will be that everyone notices how few the actual number of people is that are immiserating them. And they’ll ask themselves why they don’t get all “American” about it.
