If they start doing things like this, and Debtor's Prisons (only a matter of time), then it will be officially the time to shift from a Trickle Down Economy, to a Robin Hood Economy (take from the rich, give to the poor).

Steal anything that isnt nailed down, as long as it comes from a rich person or corporation. Hands off of middle/working class folks, and small businesses.

Unless they're MAGA. Then strip them bare.

Joke's on them, I was a Boy Scout, I love camping. I'm actually a good campfire cook.

It's also where I learned to shoot, and I showed an uncanny aptitude for it. Just sayin...

A friend of my parents once invited them to an investment seminar ("free dinner!"), and it turned out to be an investment in a private prison company. Their friend bought in, and was surprised my parents didn't. It was partially because they are very risk averse, but also because they simply didn't like the idea of profiting off of human misery.

Best Simpsons line ever:

Oh, yeah, I've been predicting that for a while now. Low credit ratings will also mark you as a potential criminal.

Oh, I'm well aware.

The destruction of that building facade was even worse than that. When it became clear that he wouldn't preserve the facade, there were many that were willing to pay to remove iconic architectural/ 1sculptural elements and send them to museums, but he ordered his construction crew to simply destroy them.

As a person whose job partially consists of brand marketing, I see that as a great marketing opportunity for his brand image that he absolutely blew. He could have played along, let those architectural elements be removed to museums on someone else's dime, as he stood out front, bloviating to the media that he is so proud to be the leader in preserving the iconic architectural history of the great city that he loves so much, and improving his standing with the city and its citizens. Instead, it was just "Fuck it, just destroy it all."

And yeah, I'm well aware of his past, like his demand that the "Central Park Five" be executed, and when they were fully exonerated of the crime, he STILL insisted they be executed. It was then that I knew this psychopath could never be allowed to hold public office.

Now he's sending innocent people to a torture gulag in a 3rd world country without Due Process, and people are surprised that he won't lift a finger to correct their "administrative mistakes." History rhymes again.

I'm of the opinion that we should strongly encourage all these rich assholes to go to space, making it the hot new trend, requiring larger and larger spacecraft to handle the demand.

Then one day, one will explode in space, killing a hundred Sociopathic Oligarchs at once.

And I'll laugh and laugh...
