27. SHUT IT DOWN!!!

Thu Mar 13, 2025, 05:17 PM

Mar 13

The orange fascist bastard wants to xfr trillions to his billionaire class buddies while the working-- and middle-classes are reduced to utter despair and poverty: serfs in their own country.

Better to shut it down now to MINIMIZE the looming financial catasrophe that will otherwise result. Share the pain amongst ALL classes.

I cannot believe I am saying this; nor how fast and how far we have already fallen.

This is an absolute nightmare.

PS. Fort Knox gold sold off for crypto, anyone? Bond villain madness!
