I don’t understand why everyone is so upset about this. Clearly demolishing the White House and building a glitzy ballroom was why working class white voters chose Trump. It was their highest priority! The solution to economic anxiety is obviously rebuilding Versailles! 🙄🙄🙄
White House East Wing demolished, new images appear to show
Trump first said the project wouldn't interfere with the existing White House, but on Thursday satellite images appeared to show the entire East Wing reduced to rubble.

A lot of those 77M are probably complaining now at the level of economic hardship. Unfortunately too few

"Crucially, we found no consistent evidence that stringent border restrictions harmed economic growth compared to jurisdictions with less stringent restrictions. This finding challenges widespread assumptions about inevitable trade-offs between health and the economy." /2

The conversation also made the important point that the ideas of that society can't be separated from the economic foundations of that society. What they said needs to be considered in the context of how they lived, even for the basic step of interpreting what they mean.

That’s industry contraction from economic overreach.

The layoffs and failures are hitting everywhere, even studios that never got accused of being “woke”:

If complaints were the cause, non-controversial games wouldn’t be collapsing too.

Spiritual advisors to the king were educated abroad and no longer understood the message of Buddhism. Eg some claimed that Buddhism was the cause of economic stagnation and mental illness. Had these so-called experts not been educated abroad, no one would have taken them seriously.

America's sanctions on Russia, don't work. Because Trump, never impose tariffs and other on Russia. Trump, just Xi's battle. In the first place, Western sanctions methods, it's very old system and outdated. China's evasion sanctions escalation and more global economic framework become chaos.

Besides the human costs of this, the economic damage caused by so many people having no choice but to either give up their careers and start from scratch or to leave the country must be massive.

Absolutely! If it’s economic then industry will propose and build it. Gods knows they have billions in profits and can afford this type of development.

Mark Zuckerburg continues to throw his money in the furnace that is Generative AI and LLM chatbots. A lot of tech company owners/investors are probably hoping for an economic recession so they can once again buy up all the businesses that get wrecked in its wake.

I think you’re wrong. We can’t afford not to encourage and maybe use some Tax $’s to promote our in-Canada development and Industry. Trump has proven he and ‘Merica are Business/Economic enemies not allies. If we wait this will only get worse and more expensive.

Economic growth in a finite Earth is a death sentence for life on Earth
What is needed is an end to economic growth and a fair distribution of wealth to lift people out of poverty
An end to billionaire class and population growth
Prioritize the nature that allows us to exist

If you're completely ignorant about the wealth of different political philosophies with approaches to resolving economic inequality you need to pick up a textbook, not loiter on social media asking vague and empty questions.
