Trump vs. Elon


Although I used to teach cardio kickboxing as an aerobic exercise, I never liked watching boxing. But for some reason, I'm really loving watching this fight. You know which fight I'm talking about, right? As the s--- hits the fan, and everything unfolds, we can just sit back and enjoy the show. Two unconscionable power couple pretending that they care about the American public. We all know that it's all about money and control. It's scary what $300 million can do as Elon claims that he was the reason Trump got elected. If true, the rest of you who voted wasted your time. Perhaps by next election, it will take one billion or more to put a president in office. 

To be fair, Trump and Elon are not the only ones looking out for themselves. Just look into George Bush, Joe Biden, Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and the list continues. And then we have the oh so complicated tax laws. Each line is written into law in favor of those who wrote it—politicians and their wealthy supporters. And occasionally, an average American benefits from it, but only by chance, not by intention.

Next, let's have a look at the stock market. Years ago, you were able to make money if you studied corporations and their numbers, and learned about their board of directors and their business policies. Not anymore. Why? Because they manipulate it much more than they used to, making sure that their friends make money from it. You know what I mean. Just have a look at the recent insider trading. Add to that the crummy interest on savings and CDs, jacking up the prices for cost of goods, making it impossible for people to own things, and the promotion to spend, spend, spend. The truth is that they want Americans to barely make a living, and work like slaves until they hit the coffin.

Oh and let's not forget the cryptocurrency—decentralized, peer to peer money laundering—which is only affordable if you belong to the good old boy's club, you know, the friends of the people who run everything. So, forgive me if I sound callous, but I'm loving this fight. Why? Because it feels so damn good.
