Granted Trump is currently President, but, that position was bought by Musk for the purpose of ending government lawsuits and investigations. That is quid pro quo. That illegality is not only tolerated by Trump, but, nurtured.
There is a ruthlessness that has settled into the country because the Republicans are in office to estrange the government from the citizen. Republicans believe market pressures solve any disharmony between companies and consumers. That simply is not the case. Government is elected in order to solve problems, not just allow so called freedom in all aspects of life. Government by the very word it is called is suppose to govern not be a bystander.
Civility has gone out of the country. It took deeper roots with this Supreme Court and Citizens United. That decision has spawned corruption and now it is purchasing the power of government AWAY from the people. Musk is the prime example. Musk is the quintessential CEO that can buy any aspect of government including a president that promises pardons for wrong doing so long as it meets with Trump’s ambitions. That is not a president. That is a crime boss.
The latest CEO death was because he saw profit in attacking education. Education has been the very foundation of our country. Education is the great equalizer. So. There you have it. Removing opportunity is a deadly game.
The opportunity the USA puts forward presents itself as work. It is work producing a product or service or it is “the work of learning.” The work of learning is viewed by people like Trump as a parasitic infection that manifests most deeply felt in taxes. Trump begrudges the people their right to charge taxes. It is why he has this hideous tariff paradigm. Supposedly the USA’s consumer markets are too die for. Hence. Companies all over the world must pay for the USA government in the way of tariffs. That is the Trump dreamscape. Trump just loves to create victims. In the case of tariffs everyone is a victim. The foreign country. The companies within that country. And the customers of the companies that are the victims of inflation.
So. Kirk is dead. Will it matter?
