I know people who have reinvented themselves and left the past behind, and I know people who have reinvented themselves and carried on with their legal names. Depends on the person and the setting. To each their own.

Except he is using a playbook built by other people that we've only seen the gist of. This is manufactured, not eventual. He is also removing all consumer and worker protections. There is more too it, but keep turning a blind eye to just "more of the same" and see where that gets ya. I am saying the same thing as you, but I am alluding to it being a byproduct and not the simple end goal. They want housing under their thumb as well as worker protections and healthcare. There is malicious intent there, I'm sure of it. It is more than the accumulation of wealth.

Time will tell. It's all about the layers, but if you look at the current situation at face value, it makes very little sense, ergo something more sinister is a foot 3-4 steps down the road.

IMO there is something more at work here. I believe he is collapsing the economy on purpose and evaporating everyone's savings, forcing them back into the labour force under any means. They want to go back to factory towns where workers have zero agency and are at the mercy of their employers. That is the end goal here, the rest of it is just the hand waving show to keep everyone distracted.

If he wanted us to care, he should try using empathy. He went in the opposite direction and now reaps what he has sown.

Boy this guy can't read a room, eh? Looks like cons will continue to sink by sticking with buzz words rather than actual substance.

America does not recognize peaceful protest. They are calling them terrorists. Act accordingly.

So are the rich. Let's make sure we take out the right problems.

From the guy gleefully gutting the financial lives of millions of Americans and freezing their social mobility. Cry me a river.

Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?

Empires need dominion over foreign states, expanding their borders. America would love to be an empire, they are just a wee little dictatorship with an inept conman in charge. I'm hardly worried, mostly just sad to watch it happen in real time.

Good thing to vote for. As an aside, have you looked into getting your work done at a dental college/school? You can get the same work for a fraction of the price, but timing and quality can vary. If you are in a bind, might be worth looking into.
