Yep. Train’s due any minute now. If I can just have tariffs, AI bubble, citizen debt, middle East war, etc. wait behind the line while the train arrives.

Part of why he’s been pushing the oil industry in the US for two years; have it worth a shitload once the match is thrown in the Middle East. So, that may hold off your collapse for a year, or backfire and rapidly accelerate it. Time will soon tell.
