This is crazy on its own. Crazier that its before the case for Cook’s removal gets to the Supreme Court. And crazier again because he's set to be replaced as the head in a few months anyway
I find it crazier that Trump's first year in office isn't over yet. Inauguration was 20th Jan 2025.
Imagine what a democratic socialist of this level could achieve. A country could be completely rejuvenated using the same methods in the other direction.
... except I guess the billionaires wouldn't be so cooperative.
A lot of those methods involve completely ignoring people's interests or the legal system, the international order, deliberately trying to kneecap institutions that get in your way, filling the government with people of one political view while trying to remove those of the other political views, threats, bribes, and weaponising the justice department. I can see how that worked to get more done but I think even with noble goals thats a pretty expensive cost to get there
Maybe not. It takes a lot longer and greater resources to build something than to destroy it.
Roosevelt did pretty well in 100 days
The federal government and the US as a whole were very different beasts in those days.
I guess when enough things are broken you do whatever it takes.
Also crazy because Trump was the one who made Powell the chair of the Fed.
he has a memory of a goldfish, or when he last snorted cocaine.
