I'd argue he is aware of this, though, which is probably why he is looking towards purging various groups of ideological mismatches.

The corporate world absolutely idolizes the grift. Being able to "produce value" (=make more money while actually not producing anything more) is the only game left. Shareholders look at something like EA that releases the same old Madden year after year while making money hand over fist, and they fucking salivate.

Trump will lower grocery prices the same day he ends the war in Gaza.

And if you believe that, I've got a hat to sell you (*made in China).

We're at about 1933. Hitler is about to consolidate power, surround himself with only the most loyal, and purge the military of anyone outside of the ideology.

The propaganda machine will need to expand rapidly to support that effort.

He is 78.

Nokia of now is not the Nokia of yesteryear. Their new phones are just cheap Android smartphones.

Regulation? In the US?

Not in this timeline.

Any anti-corporation action has about 60 more days to complete. The US is about to be more of an unregulated runaway capitalism machine than it has ever been.
