Will the current musk coup define our future?

6. I like history. I believe what is happening now is what happened at the fall of the Soviet Union.

Where state owned enterprises were "given" to a select few who then became the Russian oligarchs.

Change happens. Reagan created the oligarch class with his tax reduction on the top income earners. No one D or R ever made the effort to roll it back. You know, once a person has a lot of money their attitudes change. They are like an addict, "I LIKE THIS, I WANT MORE"

I do not worry about it really. Stuff happens. As I often say that in the world stage the U.S. is a toddler. We are around 250 years old. Most of the other countries in Asia, Europe etc are over 5,000 years old and are still here and generally prospering.
