I like how blatantly obvious it is that the finance bros and business owners are fully aware that the economy is going down in flames and are hoping they can just pretend it's not for three more years until they can blame it on a Democratic administration.

Finance bros have been playing "hot potato" games for 40 years. For them, the pending crisis is just that game maximized. There were still rich people in the Great Depression.

It’s been my crank theory that the business elite wanted a crash out like one in the aughts were you could demand a worker do the equivalent of four people’s work for $30k They hated Biden cuz labor’s power grew under the recovery. They will their job-pocalyse under Trump & that’s all that matters

I think this plus an epidemic of lack-of-imagination-itis. So many people think the President controls the economy like a some sort of giant steampunk robot. "pull this lever to crash the parts of the economy I don't like"

They may well get their crash, but it wont look anything the way they think it will.
