For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant of +£18.42tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

Interesting take. Simon goes on to point out that the 3 main news channels dropped coverage and didn’t pick it up again. I think it’s just as likely that Trump is trying to deflect blame from himself for having fired a whole raft of federal employees responsible for safety, oversight, etc. Or both.

Exactly. Progressive USians are told constantly that the right are dumb and can't read - and yet, the right have been consistently developing their plan from Julius Evola, Deng Xiaoping, Aleksandr Dugin, Vladislav Surkov, dumbed down into Curtis Yarvin, and implementing it since the 1970s. .
