1. I used to work for a company where everyone blamed Dave

for all the bs rules etc but loved his boss Paul who was the head of the company. I told everyone at lunch one day, you realize Paul could fire Dave if he didn’t like what he was doing, right? Complete silence while they all thought about that.

the money that is being funneled to the Trump family needs more attention.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/business/crypto-mogul-trump-coins-civil-fraud-charges/index.html#:~:text=Sun's%20%2475%20million%20purchase%20of,revenues%2C%20according%20to%20the%20company.

"...Sun is a polarizing figure within the world of crypto, in which he has become one of the most prominent investors in the World Liberty Financial crypto project, backed by the Trump family. Sun’s $75 million purchase of World Liberty tokens, which he’s touted in social media posts, could set the Trump family up to eventually collect tens of millions of dollars, as the family is entitled to 75% of the tokens’ revenues, according to the company. Sun is also an official adviser to World Liberty, which lists President Donald Trump as its “chief crypto advocate” and his son Barron as its “DeFi visionary.”

about Trump firings tonight. My ears perked up and I thought damn right, blame Trump. Kind of like a blame BOGO since Musk blame is a given. But first, focus on the main operator.

And yes orange psycho is certainly not any less to blame. It's not clear to me though elunatic seems to actually be the one running things now. Plenty of blame to go around.

Musk holds more cards being the richest man.

Many people will not dig too deeply with connections, as an example Musk/Putin. But they know whose name was on the ballot and those he picked for cabinet positions and VP.

I think we need to connect Trump to all of those people so they do not hold power in the future, just my opinion.

And yes, he is sick.
