Countercyclical terrorist

T•••• runs a genuine-sample con like Musk. Handed a mid-econ cycle racket by his dad—putting up buildings—he proved too dumb to run it. Fell down to the ass end as vulture buyer, then brand licensing / money laundering. He’s still coasting on the initial image of property developer,

Malign Mr. Bean

Biden blocked / delayed T•••• prosecutions, then declined too hard to take advantage of his gambit. He’s malign Mr. Bean. Now he’s ensuring a coupist / rapist / felon will get nukes. Like a roomie who gambled away the rent money. He’s covered up his inability to do the job,

The evolution of tech demos

Evolution of tech demos: product works, we’ll prove it in a bake-off (LANs) → features are real, we’ll pretend they're stable (iPhone) → features sometimes work, we’ll cherry-pick (AI, self-driving) → just fake some BS, maybe we’ll ship it or nah (Tesla, Nikola, Rabbit…)

Political trust-busting

Goop vs. Dem = sweaty-toothed fanatics vs. Best Buy middle managers. Racket Dems, who are mundanely crappy and short-sighted like any mediocre corp, are not up to stopping ’em. Red team’s convinced browns will repay their brutality in kind (when they mostly just want to prosper), and have talked themselves

Over the hump

Me watching Pelosi block T•••• impeachments: I can’t believe Dems would risk nuclear human extinction. Me watching Dems re-run an impaired Biden: I can believe Dems would risk American democracy, oh I can believe it. Reasonably bright people following crude racket incentives do incredibly stupid things. Need to align
