    This is what the corporate world voted for. You expected massive tax cuts, no regulations and free labor. Instead the republicans are going to bankrupt your business, investments, savings and social safety net. You knew he was crazy when you supported him. You deserve this pain.

      Yeah you can see this by the stock market bump from his election to his inauguration that investors largely believed it would be a good thing, and then he actually became president and started doing stuff and it immediately went back to normal, and now he’s just destroying the entire economy doing shit he said he was going to do and business people are all surprised Pikachu about it. No sympathy for them. The only people in America who deserve any sympathy are the ~1/3 of the American people who did literally anything to try to prevent this. Fuck the 1/3 who voted for Trump and fuck the 1/3 that became politically disengaged enough to not do anything even more. This is a corrupt and vile country and we deserve everything we’re getting.

    The article is not offering any real examples, except for one CEO’s reaction to their stock drop in real-time during an investor’s call.

    Now don’t get me wrong. I really want this to be happening for real. It’s just that I would like to see more actual examples and less descriptions of hypothetical “CEOs with thousand-yard stares”.

      I think in general ceo’s try to limit their exposure to the public, makes it easier to control situations. Elon found out what happens when you don’t. So I’m not surprised by this. I 100% believe there’s tons of them who are shitting their pants right now. As they should. This is almost making ME want to cry, seeing the future look more and more like, idk, death stranding world

      lower taxes thats about it, and plus alittle deregulation, while keeping mostly what biden did, that was thier assumption. probably dint expect the chips act to be derailed as well.

    Maybe they should have listened to the nonsense he was spewing on the campaign trail every night.

      “He was just being hyperbolic.” they told themselves.

      Nope, turns out he was “saying it like it is” about what he was going to do and the “I don’t care about you” was the truth.

    Didn’t they want this? Haven’t they been trying to install a fascist dictatorship for literal decades? Did they forget that fascism is bad and nobody likes it?

    Part of me wants it all to burn to the fucking ground. Maybe something better comes out of the ashes.
