It’s a near-Christmas miracle, Donald Trump’s election victory has already improved folk’s economic situation, just as he promised - before he even got inaugurated!
Well, at least if you’re one of the top 10 richest people in the world.
The day the result was declared those 10 people saw an increase in wealth of a record-breaking, astonishing, disgusting $64 billion dollars. $27 billion of that went to Trump’s very own dancing idiot, Elon Musk.
These increases are of course mostly down to the stock market going up. Elon’s Tesla shot up 15%, which is possibly, if anything, quite restrained given that the person that owns the company may well be the same person that sets the rules wherein it and its competitors must operate.
Remember when we used to care about things like “conflict of interest”?
This of course tells us all we need to know about a) Trump’s likely policies and b) investors. I suppose those who already pillaged society for an unfathomable and undeservedly huge amount of humanity’s resources look forward to an era even more devoid of taxes and regulations - and little competence to police any that do still remain.
