Obviously he would overstate assets and hide liabilities but they would still write the check. #US #capitalism has turned into the 'Bank of Mommy and Daddy', but modern economists don't care as long as they can feel and smell the dollar bills.

Plausible deniability is fading and the media are turning on Biden.
For years, they sat firmly with their thumbs up their behinds. Suddenly, it's “we've always wanted to report on genocide but we're just smol beans who report what the US government approves.”
The saddest part is that 71,000 figure is almost certainly low. It's mostly indirect tactics that end up killing Palestinians.
Anyway, let the rewriting of history begin.

Imagine, billions and billions on R&D, marketing, and updates, so that Apple customers can feel safe, only for all of it to be destroyed because Apple's CEO is sucking up to a dictator.

There are multiple declines that have been set in motion by the Trump presidency that will take years to fully manifest and will be too late to stop by the time people figure it out.
Trump pushing Canada to open up its auto market to Chinese EVs is one such example.

"It’s easy to throw stones if you think about the job displacement and ecological destruction caused by this pointless technology. But such black-and-white, not-wanting-billionaires-to-get-richer thinking is, quite frankly, cruel. You can’t just measure the value of something in terms of “whether or not it makes everything worse for everyone.” The world is much more complicated than that."
