governance - US - Trump 2nd term strategy

• Great short description of Trump's strategy
• I wonder why Wall Street looks at this and goes
  • wait a minute things may be Grim
    • but then why is it that they're saying all these things and trying to pump it up?
• because
  • they want to pump it
  • they want to dump it
  • they want to tax shelter it
  • they want their tax cuts and
  • they want to keep us in this Loop:
    • have a democratic Administration fix it but then
      • blame the Democratic Administration that fix it
      • blame the firefighter for putting out the fire
      • bring back in the arsonist
  • plunder pillage rinse repeat
    • that is the strategy of the oligarchy

Prof. Christina Pagel. (2022, January 19). This makes it so clear that the release of all measures right now (esp masks, esp schools) is only to protect himself & his job. Boris has zero interest in protecting others from getting sick, needing hospital or dying. Or protecting businesses, schools, NHS from disruption.
