The DNC knew it would fail. That was the plan. Perhaps not this spectacularly, but they knew it wouldn't work. They did their job. They defended the interests of Capital.
It's the populist policy that's the hanging point. The DNC Services Corp will never let that happen. They're all too happy to let fascists win and fundraise off the fallout.
This country is cooked. The empire is finally dying. My big concern is that this empire has nukes it will use on the way down.
All empires fall. This is just our turn. That isnt the scary part. The scary part is how failing empires often lash out militarily on the way out. And this one has nukes.
We had efficiency answered decades ago during the 70s fuel shortage. Big oil didn't want to normalize cars like the Vega, Moodymobile, VW Rabbit, later the Geo Metro. They wanted us to burn more oil not less. And that hasn't changed. Cars don't need to be designed in wind tunnels.
We actively harm ourselves for shits and giggles apparently.
