Get a little bump because of all the millionaires being so stoked.

So what do you think yank everything now and bury it in a coffee can in the backyard?

All of my plans are out the window. I was supposed to continue my college for my bachelor's degree in January, and now I feel like I'm going to lose all of my financial aid and why should I even bother trying to get a degree when I'm 50 years old and nobody's going to hire me anyway

...(yes, that's actually what it's called) to destroy the entire safety net, the ACA, etc. Anyone who's not a tech-bro is a "useless eater", to borrow the Nazi term. And Eloon already warned the MAGA chuds--severe hardship is coming.
