75. "they can take from anybody"...if FDIC goes away.

Thu Feb 13, 2025, 02:18 AM

Feb 2025

You saying that made me recall a couple of news items from mid-December, when Trump and Elon were quoted as discussing getting rid of the FDIC.

Back then Reuters said experts thought it would be a "heavy lift," but since then so many unthinkables have happened that it seems way more feasible. Yes, that's how fast they are moving the Overton window.
