    If an economic crash takes the wind out of his would-be dictator sails, it may be a good thing in the long run.

      Maybe it would help the world course correct away from neoliberalism and the growing (and present/ threat of fascism. It’s clear that neoliberalism has failed, and we’re now seeing the consequences of it

      Though, in practice it’s probably more likely something else weird will happen, and wealth inequality and capitalism will stay

      Although, I do wonder if, if a big great-depression-era-like crash happens, we would ever be able to get out of it again, in terms of growth. We’re already seeing the immense and pervasive amount of squeeze in the form of universal enshittification, and we might be hitting towards the limits of growth, at least without radically overhauling our societies and economic system. Maybe the contradictions in capitalism are getting too strong

    Only the 7th? I could’ve sworn there were more than that.

    Seems like he had total control of previous businesses.

    He legitimately controls only one branch of government in this case.

    Hopefully when the other two see the problem they will still have the ability left to act.
