  • Given the unprecedented abuse of power and overwhelming evidence of corruption, the fact he still has that much approval only serves to show how deeply flawed is the distribution of power in the US.

    Big corpo lobbying paved the way for this brand of extremist cronyism that provides for the biggest players willing to grease the president directly, even circumventing the legislative bodies.

    I bet relatively smaller players are as flabbergasted as reasonable people and left-wing people. But this is what happens after decades of big shareholders being able to shape politics.







  • Yeah exactly, housing is used as a value storage for large players when they need to use a generic asset in between investments. It’s relatively safe but its value is passive, it is driven by the rest of the market. Plus it’s great for money laundering and bribing politicians or officials. So all this manipulation raises the prices for everyone, and most people don’t benefit from it. It’s just so greedy and abusive.













  • If he does leave office, it’s possible many people will go after him if they can. I know the SCOTUS decided the president can do whatever he wants with legal impunity, but I am sure he can still be dragged into a lot of legal battles given the extravagant number and level of crimes he is committing on a weekly basis. Why put himself through that in his last few years when he can just stay on top and shit on everybody, enjoying himself with our suffering? This guy is all in, he has made a new playbook for the oligarchy, and he is never going back unless the rest of the oligarchs decide he is a liability. Even then, he wont give up easily. My guess is he will leave the White House in a coffin (either old age or hanged by a mob)
