That’s more a condemnation of fiat currencies, deficit spending, and the cerebral powers of the Neanderthal than it is of Elon Musk’s.
But the basic premise is flawed because it ignores the power of compounding interest.
According to grok: Even at a modest 2% average annual interest rate, you’d have roughly ten sextillion dollars—that’s a 1 followed by 22 zeros.
At 3%, it’s many orders of magnitude larger. The number is so enormous it basically breaks calculators. Compounding over 430,000 years turns $10k a day into an absurd, incomprehensible fortune.
According to Grok, the Visigoths gained entrance to Rome through home-grown treachery and Rome could not muster a defense because the “legions” of old were long gone—betrayed by the leadership class, decimated in battle, and replaced by unreliable barbarian allies that turned against the empire. Basically, the Marxist script for the west! Lol
I secretly hope not, but the class system there has made eunuchs of a once steely population and I’m not hearing Brits take the first step in rallying a transformation by acknowledging the fatalistic psychosis that’s doing them in. How in hell do you save a country from itself? And, honestly, despite my English roots, I’m seriously questioning whether they’re even worth defending from foreign aggression. However, I’d change my tune if the British, Irish, and Scottish citizenry were to rise up and dismantle the socialist state and send the aristocracy packing.
@Jere_Memez@TRobinsonNewEra Of course it is! You're asking a pack of anemic Dame Ednas to grow a collective backbone and save Great Britain? Good luck with that. You sold out to Marxist estrogen peddlers so long ago you've forgotten what agency is.
We don’t have poor states. The UK was just deemed poorer than all 50 of our states. The purpose of having separate states is to foster competition and give people a choice when they vote with their feet and get out of a state that’s lost its way. That’s why they are called “states”, not “provinces” or “prefectures”. It is core to the an\American system of governance. Central planning does not work.
The states should feed their own “needy” with their own state funds — where there is direct traceability and accountability to the taxpayer. We’ve constructed a system whereby federal funds go to the states and the state apparatchiks orchestrate and/or turn a blind eye to corrupt dealings vis-a-vis those funds and then they add insult to injury by obstructing any efforts at the federal level to enforce transparency and accountability. If this continues, the bleeding heart dopes aiding and abetting this corruption will be the ones forcing the taxpayers to just cut the whole friggin mess.

Rockets are hard.
@spencerpratt@elonmusk Why even have a fire department if they aren’t going to do their jobs? The government class has adopted a union mentality — do less for more and hold management [the taxpayer] and the customer [the public] hostage to their demented work ethic and unreasonable demands.
This is my parents’ house. This is why I’m running. This is coming for your home. It’s coming for your industry. If not by fire, then by blight, addicts, fraud, and the slow rot created by corrupt politicians like Karen Bass. Wake up and VOTE.
