  • National institutions are going to fail as Trump reclassifies civil servants as political appointments. Only those loyal to trump will remain.

    There will be a substantial brain drain as people with means and motivation leave the US for elsewhere. This will mostly be college educated people who lean center to left of center. There is likely to be an influx of political refugees to New Zealand, western Europe, and the Nordic countries. This means leftists who can’t leave will be stuck here. This will push the US further right, and push the other countries further right because the people leaving aren’t as far left as they think they are.

    Business regulations will be lax, and enforcement will be diminished. OSHAs budget will be cut even further, leaving states to manage workplace safety. Businesses will migrate towards red states where operations are cheaper.

    Blue states will start banding together on their own enforcement systems for everything that the federal government used to manage. We already see this to some extent with manufacturers tending to comply with California regulations for nationwide stuff.






  • Imagine you got paid one million dollars a year. That’s over $2,500 a day. You can work as much or as little as you want, you still get one million dollars every year. No taxes, no strings attached. That’s $1,000,000 every year.

    After the first year, you have $1,000,000. You’re wealthy. With good investments, you could get $50,000 - $100,000 a year in interest and dividends. You probably still work, but you live comfortably. But it’s nowhere close to a billion.

    After 10 years, you have $10,000,000. You’re very wealthy. You can live off of investment income alone. You probably have a personal secretary. And it’s still only 1% of a billion.

    After 100 years, you would have $100,000,000 dollars. You can talk to A list celebrities and sports stars. You probably have a yacht and multiple large homes. You have multiple staff to manage your day to day life. Now you’re at 10% of a billion.

    After 500 years, you would have $500,000,000. You’re richer than most people. And your only at 1/2 a billion.

    After 1,000 years you finally have a billion dollars.

    Some people have multiple billions of dollars. Billionaires should not exist.
