It is so much more than “just money.”
Every one of those three or four letter iconic symbols is a company. Companies, like Krispy Kreme (click here). Ticket symbol DNUT. I remember the excitement in the south when it first announced it would soon have an IPO. The shares started at $17 each. The average everyday citizen could afford that. They bought plenty of them, waited for the stocks to split and sold those shares. Each original investor made a small fortune to bank.
The reason successful companies seek out an IPO is to accumulate some wealth from investors to continue to grow and improve their reach and perfect their products. It is like a big bank loan with lots of people interested. Stockholders.
Wall Street is not just about day traders, big investment banks, hedge funds, and wildly successful profiteers. It is about companies. People that work for those companies. Unlike investment banks and stock brokerages, those companies can’t pull up stakes and move to a more stable country.
Now is the time for Congress to prepare for bailouts. Those bailouts will exceed that of the crash of 2007-8. The investors are slowly removing their monies to give companies a chance to find ways to survive burgeoning bankruptcies. Those bankruptcies will happen and in order for the USA to continue to have an economy all the companies Trump is pretending to protect will need Government GRANTS to set them back on their feet. That was GRANTS, not loan guarantees.
So, while Republicans love Musk and DoGE, all those cost saving measures will fail because companies like Krispy Kreme, General Motors, United Healthcare, and Ford Motor will escalate the cost of government to save the economy.
So.
What was the purpose of this again?
Oh.
Liberation Day. It will have to wait. There will be no $5000 bonus checks. Increasing taxes? On failing companies devalued? That won’t happen. Taxes on the Middle Class? While on unemployment? That won’t happen.
So.
What was this dreamscape all about in Project 2025 anyway?
