- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

MODERATORS
Trump/Musk have announced a plan similar to Argentina where they cut a bunch of public services and refuce the functions of government:
....part of the plan is to crash the economy and cause 'hardship'... And they're more than likely going to do a massive transfer of wealth in the process. hedge funds use this tactic all the time, get your money ready, collapse a stock, buy it at a lower price, be wealthier when it returns.
They're going to do that with the whole economy. They want to own the whole pie.

I guess they really got upset that unions got some traction and workers got some hope that they are not completely helpless.
I literally just got a government job and start Tuesday and now I gotta worry the job won't exist in 6 months. I got laid off twice in thr past 2 years and I really don't want to make it 3.
First trillionaire when?
When the dollar has lost 99.9999% of it's value, not just 97%. (as compared to 1970 vs. price of gold).
Already exists
Okay but they realize that leaves a lot of angry people with literally nothing to lose right?
That's why they started with building a following of cultists that will be the useful idiots to take the blow for free.
Do they not know that Americans choose their politicians based on egg prices? They will be fucked in the midterms if they go through with this assuming they don’t rig it too hard
Given that there are 20 million votes unaccounted for, and we suspiciously had high voter turnout yet low amounts of people actually voting. Something's not right.
Please, let’s not be republicans and start conspiracy theories. The 2020 election was totally unique because of Covid. It’s better to compare turnout to a non-Covid year like 2016, which is has similar democratic vote numbers to 2016
The entertainment corporation "Fox news" will tell them that the egg prices are lower than they are, and a median voter will believe it, and they will pay more money, while believing that they aren't.
I said hey, you, feed the machine
Bring them all back down to their knees
Fuck, now I have to listen to that. Such a good song!
Unexpected Poor Man's Poison

the 3rd panel is similar. I work at a grocery store as a highschool job and it's really sad seeing grown folks with hair thats literally gray hobbling around because they can't afford medical bills.
Education is not a solution to jobs paying too little.
Bold of you to presume that they will even accept your taxes at all, in order to keep those services solvent. Instead it looks very much rather like they will simply be removed from us, at any price point.
Interesting to see Jamie Harrison on the last panel.
Bunch of ragged trousered philanthropists
