The brainwashed thinks that if industry had less red tape, they'd be able to innovate more, let the market decide pay and hiring, and cost us less taxes in monitoring. All despite history proving that it only leads to the rich getting richer and more powerful while everyone else becomes peasants.

That's why all Trump voters are just dumbfucks. Some of them think they're the strong men that will get to take advantage of the weak in this system, but they're really just dumb sheep that tongue a butthole up to middle management at best. They're the ones who picked on special needs kids at school because punching down is easy and they need a win.

What they don't understand is how e.g. cutting jobs, or not providing necessary goods and services (e.g. enough bolts to keep something attached to the outside of an airplane? The lack of which causing said thing to fall off mid-flight), etc. is the very self-same "innovation" that they were promised. As in, it delivers stock dividends to the shareholders, thus functions as intended.

We arguably deserve what is coming for us. Though damn I wish there was some way to avoid the worst of it.

That happens in a small economy, without thoroughly entrenched trillion dollar companies. But eventually the most ruthless companies will kill all of the other companies, dominate everything, and operate with impunity. That's where we are now.

Elon fucking Musk is getting a position created for him that's going to be the kill the poor department and he is naming it after a meme.
