@unseen1_unseen This guy is such an idiot, I can’t believe he ever hosted Rush’s show. But then again a lot has been revealed with the election of Trump.
It's a tale of two viruses. One created in 2020 (Wuhan Labs), the other created in 2026 (Frontier Labs).
One was molecular (covid), the other digital (AI).
Both man made.
Both promoted by media.
Both escape a lab.
Both create fear/panic.
Both require experts to inform.
Both introduce mitigation measures.
Both end with govt control rules.
Both timed to coincide w/ critical elections.
COVID Passport / Digital ID
Trust the medical scientists
Trust the computer scientists
There's a pattern here folks. Stop me when you can see it.
@LarryWild2028 All of this is common sense and it would require serious people to implement it. But we all know our politicians aren’t serious people they’re clowns at best.
What I’ve learned here is that there’s literally nothing anybody can say short of “everything is horrible and we’re all gonna starve to death” that will appease some people. Offering any type of solution, mitigator, or encouragement is condemned.
If you bring up how you couponed and ate out (maybe?) once a month and drove around in a car with no AC all summer in your 20s, you get told you “just don’t understand what kids these days go through.”
If you bring up how other generations weathered economic calamity throughout history and encourage people that they, too, have the power to survive this, you get told you want everyone to live like it’s the Great Depression and be happy about it.
If you tell someone it’s cheaper to make a burrito at home than DoorDash Chipotle, you get accused of demanding they live off rice and beans. (Which is ironic considering this whole thing started because someone was complaining about paying $20 for…rice and beans.)
If they scream that ground beef is $12 a pound and you point them to a store that has it for $5 a pound, you get told that’s subpar beef and would NEVER feed their family of eight, five of which are teen boys, what are you, a monster?!
If you agree that prices are insane and we have deep systemic problems that need fixing but that, in the meantime, perhaps people can save money with some simple changes, they just ignore you said the first part and accuse you of telling everyone to eat cake.
If you bring up those deep systemic problems and what it would take to fix them, everyone ignores that tweet because nobody *actually* knows how to realistically go about uprooting the welfare state, curbing government spending, getting the national debt under control, or dealing with foreign threats without spending money - most if not all of which would take the participation of our deeply broken Congress.
And in all of it, you get accused of sending a terrible political message to socialism-loving young people, and that the “correct” political message is to fuel mass hysteria over prices and let Iran have nukes so milk will magically come back down to 2005 prices. Which wouldn’t work because the issues are so much deeper than that and we’d wind up with egg all over our faces, but whatever.
They will find a problem with whatever you say because anything short of “you should be able to live at 23 without budgeting, penny-pinching, or sacrificing” (which literally no generation has ever done but okay) or “no one should have to give up a single creature comfort to buy food” is considered “bad political messaging” to the youths.
There’s no winning for anyone here because the point is not to have a conversation or to offer people hope. Many in the outrage mob don’t even see when someone is agreeing with them on the underlying issue but merely offering an alternate angle from which to approach it. They just want to be angry and they want everyone else to declare Doomsday with them and when someone doesn’t, they throw a fit.
Which, apparently, is considered GREAT political messaging.

Sec Bessent is saying what most of Wall Street already knows but won’t admit: the era of Fed whisperers masquerading as analysts has hollowed out real market thinking.
For years, asset prices weren’t driven by fundamentals, they were driven by interpretation of carefully leaked signals, trial balloons, and selective “guidance” fed to a handful of well-connected reporters. That isn’t price discovery; it’s narrative management.
When journalists become conduits for policy hints instead of interrogators of policy outcomes, markets stop analyzing and start front-running. Wall St stopped doing objective research, and relied on the Fed to spoon feed them. Wall St thus, never questioned the Keynesian dogma. Wall St became a lapdog for the Fed.
The result is a generation of participants trained to decode tone shifts rather than evaluate capital allocation, productivity, or inflation dynamics.
If the Warsh Fed is forcing that ecosystem to operate without a script, the discomfort you’re seeing isn’t dysfunction, it’s withdrawal.
Markets that can’t function without being spoon-fed aren’t efficient. They’re dependent. A new era has begun and some of the cool kids on Wall St are upset. Let them!
Stop Complaining
Wall St Keynesian establishment is in full panic mode, and for all the wrong reasons.
The moment markets begin functioning like markets again, the usual chorus returns, complaining about Kevin Warsh, fretting over higher rates, and mourning the end of central bank coddling. Their real grievance is not uncertainty. It is discipline. They want to be spoon fed.
For too long, the post-2008 consensus confused cheap money with growth and Fed intervention with wisdom. That game is over. What we are seeing now is an economy escaping secular stagnation and the liquidity trap, with capital finally being priced by risk rather than subsidized by policy.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been making this point for some time. The private sector, not technocrats, should set interest rates and allocate resources. Stop complaining.
The age of monetary paternalism produced distortions, dependency, and complacency. A more normal economy will offend the people who benefited from the abnormal one.
That is not a bug. It is the point.
You “don’t get it” because you’re apparently too economically illiterate to grasp that net worth isn’t the same thing as a fat stack of cash sitting in a checking account, you absolute economic toddler.
Shocking, I know.
A trillion-dollar valuation? That’s mostly paper wealth locked up in company shares, options, and assets that only hold value as long as those companies keep humming and investors don’t flee like rats off a sinking ship.
He can’t just pop open the banking app, Venmo a trillion bucks, and magically fix “housing, food, healthcare, and happiness” before happy hour, you simpleton.
To even try turning that into actual spendable money, he’d have to dump enormous chunks of his ownership. The second the market sniffed out the founder fire-selling everything like a desperate loser, share prices would crater, buyers would lowball him into oblivion, and he’d torch his voting control. Employees, investors, lenders, and suppliers would all start panicking over the guy who built the damn things suddenly bailing like a rat.
Oh sure, selling wouldn’t make the factories or rockets vanish in a puff of smoke. But it *would* slash the value of what he’s desperately trying to unload, trigger a bloodbath of taxes, destabilize the companies, and leave him with a fraction of that shiny headline number you worship like a cargo cultist staring at a coconut radio.
And even if he pulled off that financial self-immolation? “Solving the world’s problems” isn’t some fairy-tale giant check. Housing shortages are about land, zoning idiocy, labor, construction limits, infrastructure, and corrupt local governments. Healthcare? Doctors, hospitals, drugs, supply chains, and bureaucratic vampires. Hunger? Often war, corruption, broken transport, and political parasites .... not a simple “oops, forgot to send the Venmo.”
Money helps. Real wealth does real good. But anyone screeching that one billionaire should just liquidate his empire and buy universal utopia is not bravely “exposing greed.”
They’re just proudly advertising that their entire “economic philosophy” comes from googling a net-worth figure and fantasizing about Scrooge McDuck’s cartoon money bin full of gold coins he can swan-dive into.
You don’t understand “true greed,” champ, because you’re still struggling with the kindergarten basics of finance. Maybe start there before embarrassing yourself further.
