      And yet Trump lives. I guess that proves the theory wrong.

      I’ve never been so disappointed to have a conspiracy disproved.

        The cold war took a while to end and people saw it coming.

      This is the kind of situation in which we win whatever the result.

      Billionaires losing billions is a great thing.

      But billionaires “solving” their losses issue is certainly enticing.

        There’s a third way where we still lose.

        Billionaires losing billions of foreign government investment lobby to have their losses made up by domestic government investment with funds derived from cuts to social services.
