  > Mr. Trump has privately said Larry Ellison assured him that he would turn CBS News, which the Ellisons took over when they bought Paramount, into a more conservative outlet, two people with knowledge of the president’s comments said.

Oh yes, of course. Remember where the term conservative came from: to conserve the power of the oligarchy over democracy. It literally means they want to go backwards in time. Power and wealth in the hands of the few, delusions and narratives for the others.

That is why I fear any AI crash will be so devastating. The stock markets are only up if you count the massive bankrolling of Vibe Inc.

Have mercy with the maga voters, because if that goes boom, their lives get significantly worse. You only have to look Midwest America for how things look like during an all-high Wall Street. I fear the fallout will be worse than the '30s, and I have doubts if the US can money print themselves from the ashes.

I don't want to play dr. Doom, but the signs aren't great.
