Didn’t FDR die while planning to run for a 4th term? It sounds like Trump if he kept losing elections.
Hitler fled to South America has been a thing long enough that literally Lee Harvey Oswald or a direct associate of his made a "joke" about being from "the Boys From Brazil"
@The Last Stand has his greatest existential crisis
I had this old boomer lady rant to me about how trump has crashed her IRA with the tariffs. I just look at her like oh no, your generation fucked everything up for us so the amount of shits I give are non-existent.
And this right here is another reason why I hate boomers. The superiority complex.
If he's in finace his literal job is knowing about the state of these things. I'd take his opinion over yours just on that (assuming he's a succesful financieer). Still, freaking out in general does not help but if you got any exposure to certain parts of the economy it's getting really fucking hard to not freak out due to how much shit is changing.
In that case, a few kiwis in this thread just outed themselves as indians, as some of them have been relying on Google AI for their "proof".
It looks to me like things will be shit in the short-term but will stabilize in the long-term.
Have you tried taking him on a haunted cave adventure?
If he's in finance you should ask him about what his main concerns are and share them with weridos on the internet.
I would kill to read his sequel to Mein Kampf detailing his thoughts on shit.
This creepy jeet, Alok Vaid-Menon, has a thread here if anyone is interested.
I am the cheese man
I've been trying to get him to hang out with me more, he won't do it. He just sits around doomscrolling on his phone. He used to not be this way. It seems like things went to hell when he upgraded his phone into an actual smart phone that allowed him to play videos. People warn about kids getting hooked on their phones and believing bullshit, I think that's what happened to my dad.
I do take his opinions seriously, especially since I'm not great with math and don't understand the finer details of how economic stuff works. He's very smart, but he isn't infallible, he also thought Hunter Biden's laptop scandal was a conspiracy theory made up by Republicans, he completely bought into the covid hysteria, and now he thinks DOGE is going to take away social security and ruin his 401K etc. He believes Elon personally is in there stealing data and stuff. I wish I could break his phone.
I'm trying not to powerlevel too much here, but his job is to ensure his company's money is going where it is supposed to. He basically does what DOGE does but for one large single company, which is why I find his reaction even more annoying. His fears, as best as I can understand them, are that Elon is this crazy man that should not have access to American information, and he believes that Elon is working to get rid of social security and also sell off information to Russia.
My current theory is that this is due to China just allowing the 10 largest insurance companies in China to invest up to 1 percent of their holdings in gold
That just makes me think he's a lefty boomer. I'd just tell him you love him and are there for him.
What exactly would Russia want/do with information about my contributions to social security? What good would that do them? How would that harm me or the United States? How would that help Putin or Russia? What would make it worth risking a security breach to transmit this information to Russia?
