Yeah, no kidding.
Thank goodness so many people voted for the donvict because they didn't think Democrats cradled their balls sufficiently.
Running the country like a business will ensure that everything trickles down. Capitalism has never failed the commoners
Edit: I should add... /s
That's the irony here. There are a whole lot of dipshits that ascribe magical powers to "businessmen" and think it's only right and proper that they should run this country "like a business".
People never seem to understand that, with very few exceptions, at least in the United States, no business is run like a democracy (they are private tyrannies with top-down hierarchies). Honestly, it's this kind of thinking that leads people to believe it would just be fantastic to effectively downsize this country and do massive layoffs in the form of just leaving huge swathes of the country effectively out of the picture - either by cutting "waste" under the guidance of a totally clueless moron like Elon, or by deporting millions of workers.
People with the "businessmen uber alles" viewpoint see no problem with running this country like a private tyranny, because that's what a business is. A private tyranny. Most normal Americans would view making this country the private playground for the likes of Elon and donvict and Russian oligarchs truly obscene. Not the qons, I guess.
I mean, when the vast majority of the country are working 2-3 jobs to barely survive, it's shocking they lost when they spent the entire campaign telling these people to be joyful about it. Dipshits, indeed.
Federal data puts multiple job holders at 5.3% of the working population. The highest recent number I can find is a survey done by Newsweek back in June, but that of course only counts the people who answered the survey. You'll find that neither of those numbers are "a vast majority".
Edit forgot the number from the Newsweek poll. It was listed at 36%.
Thank you. Very good points.
