In this article by Richard #Murphy about the failure of #Musk.

#Government systems are not set up for the purpose of keeping bosses happy, as is the case with too much private sector enterprise. Instead, they actually try to meet need.

A goal almost beyond the comprehension of business leaders most critical of government. They genuinely believe that the world shares their belief that the perpetuation of growth of their wealth is the only worthy objective of humankind.

Una delle leggi di Murphy dice, più o meno, che: se smonti e poi rimonti un oggetto, avanzerà sempre un pezzo; se ripeti l'operazione N volte, dove N è il numero di parti che lo compongono, otterrai un clone del primo oggetto. Così, a costo zero, potrai replicare in eterno le cose.
Le aziende produttrici lo sanno e NON "CIELO" DICONO. Hanno una stanza con l'oggetto ZERO, una sorta di lievito madre che mantengono in vita per i loro scopi economici.

#FoldingTrump acts exactly as Sen. Chris #Murphy predicted:

"7/ But the private sector also plays a rule to protect democracy. Independent industry has power.

The tariffs are Trump’s tool to erode that independence. Now, one by one, every industry or company will need to pledge loyalty to Trump in order to get sanctions relief."

"8/ What could Trump demand as part of a quiet loyalty pledge?

Public shows of support from executives for all his economic policy.

Clear-eyed thread (on BlueSky) by Senator Chris #Murphy on why the #US #tariffs are tools to attack US #democracy, including these paragraphs:

"10/ And once Trump has the lawyers, colleges and industry under his thumb, it becomes very hard for the opposition to have any viable space to maneuver.

Trump didn’t invent this strategy. It’s the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever."

Bluesky Social · Chris Murphy (@chrismurphyct.bsky.social)Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

“Fortunately, when Sky invited Murphy on TV to share his point of view on the matter [making it easier for funds to invest money in the arms industry], journalist Taj Ali was there to point out the lobbyist’s interests”

The best communications infrastructure in the world will not help if all it can report to the public is "Dems caved again"... "for the third time this week elected Democrats rolled over and played dead"... "Democrats show no balls and refuse to fight leading many to wonder if they have any principles at all."
