    Major win for Trump as Congress passes ‘big, beautiful bill’

    And a major loss for the rest of US…

    We will be sicker, poorer, have less rights, have less freedoms, have less opportunities… And probably some other things I haven’t yet thought of…

    All to make the New Age Robber Barons even more obscenely and immorally wealthy.

    🤡 🖕 💩 💩

      Silver lining?

      You’re more likely to reach the revolution part of the history cycle faster, and reset the wheel for future generations to also fuck up.

        This empire is going to take a few generations to fall. Doubt I’ll see a revolution in my life time, but maybe my kids will get to see that silver lining.

          Unless you’re really old, I wouldn’t bet too hard on that. Things tend to happen quickly once they reach a tipping point.

          The Arab spring revolutions were not even two years long and a dozen countries countries with 4 rulers being deposed.

          I would absolutely bet money that before I die in 30-40 years the US will have fewer states than it currently does.
