No shit! All these CEOs that bent the knee to trump should suffer some actual consequences.
I’m so tired of idiot CEOs being glamorized. They are not smart. They’re wealthy. Tremendous wealth makes you stupid.
It should be diagnosed as a mental illness, because it fucking is! I remember watching an interview years ago with some rich ceo, and the interviewer asked what would happen if he lost his job, and he had no idea how his family would be able to eat.
It’s a mental sickness. Prove me wrong.
I’m totally and completely disgusted with each and every CEO that has kissed his ass and gifted him tributes. These people must face consequences when (if) the dust settles on this hateful, incompetent, divisive administration.
I have no idea why companies go full republocan when the economy sores under Dem. Probably to cause a crash and consolodate wealth and start the cycle over. Pretty sure they flew too close to the sun this time. My wife and I have completely boycott several companies that we have spent thousands of dollars at yearly before.
Because they want no regulation and all the money. Democrats sure as fuck aren’t perfect, but a lot of them want a more equitable division of money and want to tax those who make a bunch. Corps can’t have that.
As the other replies said, tax breaks and cuts to regulation. But it’s also that they know there’s cycles in politics, so they get what changes they want from the right, and then count on the left to fix the economy the next time around. Much like riding the market. The danger is when things go too far and the system breaks. The
dwarvescorporations delved too greedily and too deep. Now they have a balrog to contend with.Most Republicans just give tax breaks and less regulation. Donny is unique in fucking up the economy. “But he didn’t do it last time something something.”

Me too. Amazon was the easiest to get rid.

The thing about class consciousness is it means you need to understand that they will work in their class interests as well.
I don’t want old America back either. It is preferable to now that everyone terrifies me. But some things need to change. I’m afraid inequality will only cease with a depression. We’ll get one soon though.
I suspect the idea that there’s a “backsies” button that can be pressed is delusonal. Whatever comes after Trump will not be the neoliberal realism that occupied the 25 years prior to him. I strongly suspect that the idiocy of Trump’s era will give way to less incompetent right wing populism in the west in the 2030s… Maybe that’s what they’re banking on tho…
Rightwing populism (aka fascism) is incompetent pretty much by nature, though not necessarily as incompetent as Trump’s admin has been.
Hey a whole lot of you dipshits gave him money because some of you are constitutionally incapable of voting for the Democratic Party.
A lot of you also figured you would benefit from the usual scheming of conservatives, which is massive deregulation, massive tax cuts, breaking labor so that you have a fearful and compliant workforce you can rule over easily, etc.
Look at all the trouble he’s causing businesses, disappearing workers, scaring tourists, making overseas goods more expensive, angering foreign customers
Do Trump’s supporters actually think he has improved the country in any way?
The CEOs in the article cite multiple things they like. The article portrays them as way more mixed in feeling than the headline. I am flabbergasted there are only cracks in party unity and no breakage… but I’ll take cracks over nothing. Hopefully they grow quickly.
Once the stock market plummets there will be actual pushback.
If that ever happens. I’ve been waiting for it to crash since Trump 1.

For 20+ years it’s been (de facto) against the law for the stock market to go down. The only exceptions are pump & dumps to keep the poors out, but otherwise any drop in our glorious free market will be manually corrected by Uncle Sam.
These cracks are between the capitalists and fascists, but here’s the thing: The fascists don’t need the capitalists anymore. Calling it a crack is generous, even; if anything the capitalists are being abandoned by the fascists whose rise to power they funded. This is buyer’s remorse, and history doesn’t give refunds.
Yes. Though for some reason they tend to be very light on detail and basically just cite vibes.
Don’t rely on CEOs to save us. That said, it wouldn’t be the first time the bourgeoise said “oh, shit, what have we done?”
Fabulous, where are the Epstein files?
They’re not actually going to do anything about it, though. They’re just going to complain behind his back, but still go along with everything he’s doing to destroy the economy anyway.
Matbe desteoting the economy is the only way to reset. If the billionaires have money and the dollar is worth nothing, then all they have is 330 million pissed off and starving people around.
“We don’t like Trump, so we want to go back to the system that produced him, and his voter base.”
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
If they really want change they should lobby for fairer systems with better services and greater wealth distribution.
Only one way.
Can’t put the genie back in the bottle, idiots.
Can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube…
You can’t unlick a butthole once it’s been licked.
This is called “Finding Out”
