Let’s Form A Shadow Cabinet (And How To Make 700 Times Your Money In Three Months)

December 21, 2024December 22, 2024

Human error is responsible for thousands of U.S. auto accidents each year.

Tesla’s auto-pilot isn’t perfect either.

We know this because car companies are required to report auto-pilot accidents.

Tesla doesn’t like that requirement, so the Trump transition team is moving to scrap it.

That’s the bureaucratic nub of it.

This 11-minute video brings it to life — and death — in living color.  


The next segment in the same show reviews a list of Trump hires . . . segues into an interview with Tim Snyder that describes our slide into oligarchy . . . and asks what the hell do we do now?

The whole thing is only 9 minutes, but if you’re pressed for time, at least watch that last piece, because Professor Snyder proposes forming a shadow Cabinet to whom the press could turn for comment . . . not only on the bad stuff the Trump team is doing, but also on the good stuff we’d like to do.



Musk invested $277 million in electing Trump.

Since Trump’s election, his net worth has increased by about 700 times as much (about $200 billion).

Autocrats and oligarchs are thrilled with Trump’s win — Putin foremost among them — but so are most MAGA supporters.

At least for now.

They know Trump’s going to:

. . . give them great healthcare at a fraction of the cost (after 9 years’ hard work, he has a concept of a plan) . . .

. . . drive down the cost of groceries by: (1) adding tariffs to the price of the food we import; (2) deporting low-wage workers who bring to market the food we produce here . . .

. . . reduce the deficit by lowering taxes on the uber-wealthy and further strangling the IRS.


It behooves us, I think, to stay engaged.
