If you are wondering howAmerica’s Golden Ragegot this way,look no farther than who is running the country: Billionaires. As Fran Lebowitz once said, these are people “I share nothing with except the right to a trial by jury. ”“The number of people worth at least $100 million whom the Republican president has appointed to his administration is more than four times the combined total under the three previous presidents, according to a report from the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen. “It’s the numbers for the Trump administration, in the context of previous administrations, that stand out in Public Citizen’s report, published on Monday. In all, 57 Trump officials are worth at least $100 million, including 17 ambassadors and the remaining 40 in senior posts across the executive branch. “Look no further than Trump’s Cabinet. Eight of its 23 members fit the category, notably Treasury Secretary Howard Lutnick and Education Secretary Linda McMahon, both billionaires. ”And the observant reader will note that none of these Titans and Masters of the Universe are exactly smart. Linda McMahon, who made her fortune with kayfabe wrestling matches?Howard Lutnik, who took his children to Epstein Island for lunch?Some got lucky at birth, and some just got lucky. But they all think that they are preternaturally talented and intellectually gifted and morally superior. Do any of them reflect the America that the rest of us experience?“A government populated by so many of the economic elite presents potential problems, the report’s authors said. “When the people holding the reins of government are drawn overwhelmingly from the ranks of the ultra-rich, it leads to misplaced incentives and corruption, and begs the question, ‘Whose interests they are truly serving?” said Lisa Gilbert, Public Citizen’s co-president. “The list does not include Trump, whose net worth Forbes estimates at more than $6 billion. Nor does it include space and social media giant Elon Musk, who advised Trump last year on an effort to reduce the federal government’s size, scope and workforce and is the world’s wealthiest person, with a net worth Forbes estimates at about $860 billion. ”And boom!, we get the work of Elmo and the Incels who created so much of the misery in which the world finds itself. Dude has no idea of how anything works in the federal gubmint, and took a literal chain saw to it. That is the Masters of the Universe way of“have you tried turning it off and on?”I mean, after firing everyone who knew how things worked at BirdChan, Elmo started unplugging servers to see what broke. This is not a gifted person, that is a child. “They have great competence, those people. Incredible competence. Some of the smartest business leaders,” Trump said last year in explaining why he put considerable weight on advice from business executives. ”No, these billionaire morons have no moral compass. If they don’t need it, then no one does. Who does Social Security help? Not them. Same for Medicare. SNAP benefits? I mean what does a banana cost? $10?They see the world much like Elmo: break it as see what happens. It’s been a testament of America’s resilience more than proof of the billionaires competence. “He has also pointed to investments by wealthy people as a signal of future economic growth. To encourage billionaires to deliver, Trump, in his first year back in the White House, pursued policies on artificial intelligence and financial regulation that could benefit wealthy people, along with tax cuts and reduced regulatory burdens for large-scale investments. ”Now THAT is what the billionaires hired him to do, and notice that there is no mention of how that benefits anyone else. That’s the whole point. Still, last month, only 32% of U. S. adults approved of Trump’s handling of the economy, down from 40% at the beginning of his second term and as his Republican Party faces headwinds in its attempt to hold both majorities in Congress in November. It’s the Chimpy McStagger basement after he crashed the world’s economy, and Vulgarmort is there already. About tengrainFully caffeinated with 2X the sugar, unabashedly liberal.
