Last Dow Jones closing price of Biden's term: 43,487.83. Today's close: 41,841.63. Difference: -1,646.20. That's 2 months, not 1 week, Bessent, you lying sack of shit.
Ta, MM. While nothing on earth could ever make Mnuchin seem charming, this POS takes the cake, so let him eat it and choke on it. I'm glad watching that trash is your job, not mine, and I appreciate you for it.
Again, these guys are so fucking old and out of it. One can get a 40” Vizio flatscreen for $150.00. I know $150.00 is serious money for many Americans, but I bet Bessent is recalling his youth when plasma TVs were over $1000.00, and believes this is still true.
I'm pretty sure that Bessent speaks to his servants with more respect and deference than he's showing in that clip. He is sending a message to the audience that is loud and clear.
Unfortunately, this has been self-affirming death spiral for the world.
In the 70s early warnings about our use of chemicals and climate change started coming out.
Lobbyists kicked in to say "no, it's because we're eating too much fat".
Still the climate kept getting worse.
Along the way billionaires thought to themselves "gee, if the world's really gonna end we should start building those compounds all the dystopian novels talk about".
So, the billionaires built their compounds.
Then the billionaires realized "gee, these compounds sure are expensive".
Therefore, the billionaires concluded "hey in order to get a return on these stupid compounds we need to end the world. And while we are at it we should cripple governments and take all their money". . . .
At least Mnuchin gets credit for producing "The Lego Batman Movie" and "Wonder Woman". This guy looks like might produce another disastrous Ayn Rand movie.
I checked "The Big Short" out of the library a couple of months ago and was revolted to see Mnuchin (mercifully silent) in a scene, pretending to be a savvy finance guy.
How is this guy a millionaire? He does not talk in a way that inspires confidence. Plus, he blinks too much. UGH.
Bessent has three times my annual income in implants and fake teeth in his cheesy mouth.
Lose Maria and you've lost the war.

Crypto King or just Crypt Occupier? "Move over, Rudi, you're crowding my corpse!"

The anarchocapitalist trolley problem comes to mind.

It's like a Prisoner's Dilemma.
Two parties can either run a Populist or a Technocrat.
- If both choose Populist, each has a 50/50 chance of winning but the public loses.
- If one chooses Populist and the other chooses Technocrat the Populist wins and the public loses.
- If both choses Technocrat, it comes down to which has the most convincing plan, and the public wins.
I mean reality isn't black and white like that, but it's an interesting thought experiment.
Pretty sure the Technocrats are hallucinating...

What I hear- please guillotine me.
"Yee haw! I want a tumbrel ride!"

Those chompers alone tell me this man is not to be trusted
He eats children for dinner.
Has Saturn as his personal chef . . .
I mean it'd be irresponsible not to speculate. 👀
Boy howdy, this guy is popped collar polo shirt code 11 douchey.
This should be in the Description Hall of Fame
*blushes*
I went to high-school with people like that. Never met one I didn't wanna clock with a vodka bottle.
I assume that vodka came in glass bottles then.
You emptied the bottle first, right? No sense in wasting good booze.
Absolutely!
[see what I did there?]
Who said you could Popov to me?
:P

"Atlas Shrugged 3 (In 3-D!) : The Gulch Runs Red"
I checked "The Big Short" out of the library a couple of months ago and was revolted to see Mnuchin (mercifully silent) in a scene, pretending to be a savvy finance guy.
And the "Lego Woman Wonder" was right there . . .
