Whether or not the mass #tariff program is an entirely idiotic economic substitute-for-policy shouldn't be an issue and not just because it's settled/obviously so. It is a *deliberate* tactic, not a mistake, in furtherance of the Giant #Plunder and #Disruption, to collapse The #Public #society, systems, #norms, institutions, and of course, #democracy. Economists and pundits must categorically weigh in with clear messaging to that effect, in the crucial spirit of #counterdisruption, #publicOversight, sensible #regulation, #humanSecurity, #antiTrust, #teslaTakedown, #disloyaltyToFelons, and #peopleFirst policy. Without this focused view we're doomed, is the issue.

"This is the #DOGEplaybook. It's all about #plunder:take something that was carefully built up over generations & burn it to the ground, warming yourself in the pyre, leaving nothing behind but ash.
Trump's a plunderer…elected by the #plundererclass—like the #cryptobros who want to run wild, transforming workers' carefully shepherded #retirementsavings into useless #shitcoins, while the crypto bros run off with their perfectly cromulent #fiatmoney."

Also #Seasteading as currently implemented is either a shitty version of #Waterworld-esque #Solitary minus a #Trimaran or some #AnCap grift to dodge #Taxes.
That's why people like #PeterThiel love the idea, because it's a "#GatedCommunity" aka. #Ghetto for #rich #white #wankers!
