 This probably explains why all those years of me saying things like "so you want Trump to have this power?" never has once convinced any of these cops to oppose the state silencing speech. They just imagined we'd always be in the "normal world" where the laws wouldn't be enforced.
I think if you made a list of Nintendo characters most likely to be a serial killer canonically, Luigi would be pretty high on the list. Obviously this isn't as important as which characters or creatures are likely canonical wlw but I think it's an interesting thought experiment anyway.

More and more it sounds like Edmund trying to convince himself that he doesn't miss the UK. Dude tries so hard to reinvent himself.

I like how bsigg's theory of how the market works doesn't actually seem to involve any people.
Better question: why would the oligarchs carry out this plan now? Why didn't they crash the economy under Biden to damage the Democrats?

It also seems weird to talk about Bezos and Musk as some kind of oligarchs when they got rich in most of their lifetimes. And Musk's most important company is probably the least commercial. Why didn't the oligarchs before them do this plan if it's so simple? Why all the corporate mergers they've been bitching about over the last half century if they needed to collapse the economy to scoop up assets?
Remember, users there aren't allowed to post conspiracy theories.
Quote:Economic recessions typically lead to a decrease in overall M&A activity for a variety of reasons. During a recession, both buyers and sellers usually become more cautious and risk-averse, which can slow down deal-making. Companies may delay or cancel M&A plans due to uncertainty about the target's financial health and the overall economic environment. Conversely, selling companies may remove themselves from the market due to reduced valuation.
During the last major recession, which occurred from late 2007 to mid-2009, there was a significant decline in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity. In 2009, global M&A deal value fell to its lowest level in several years.
According to data from Thomson Reuters, the total value of announced M&A deals in 2009 was approximately $1.8 trillion, a sharp decline from the pre-recession peak of over $4 trillion in 2007.
whoops, another failure of prediction for the basic theory

Trump destroys his political capital in a quixotic Tariff War.
Musk drugs himself enough to ask Papa Donald to shill for his cars.

I am still laughing at the "Trump is prepared this time though, it'll really be the 4th reich"
And now he's using the front lawn of the White House to talk about low introductory APR and no money down for a struggling car brand.
