I’ve been a software dev for over 25 years, but I swear to god these tech bros trying to speed run re learning every single lesson of the Industrial Revolution because THEY PERSONALLY weren’t there to learn the lesson the first time…
“A tech-bro’s guide to business.”
Except taxing billionaires is infinitely better than getting rid of $50m of healthcare to Africa
But he’d never agree
That’s not really what startups do. They just get more and more funding from investors until they IPO or go broke.
I don’t get this dumbass mindset that government should be run as a business. So dumb.
Last time that mindset ruled government, it ended up with a crash and the Great Depression.
“Seeing what happens”
Imaging leading a Nation by trial & error.
How about rolling the dice?
Doctor: “Until the patient is cured, I’m going to start randomly cutting 15-35% off their organs.”
Has real “the whippings will continue until morale improves” vibes
How will they balance the budget with “cutting” when their plan includes giving a 4.5 trillion tax cut to the rich? Can’t balance shit when you also cut revenue.
Ah yes, the Trump voter concern about balanced budgets and debt.
So they reelected the president with the worst performance in his first term.
It’s he suggesting an immediate one third reduction of the military? I’m good with that
The dumbest thing about these “run the country like a business” morons is that no businesses actively try and LOWER THEIR REVENUE. If they actually cared about running the country like a business they’d be increasing taxes to pay for things, not removing objectively useful services. The one and only goal of their strategy is to harm poor people so the rich can have more money, anything else is just propaganda to pretend that they care about the country or the budget
They keep giving tax breaks to the rich, and act stupid and shocked when the budget doesn’t balance.
There are two sides to a balance. Have trump and musk pay more and the budget will balance.
Jason is a lucky moron that doesn’t know he was just lucky. Now he knows everything except if you gave him $10k and couldn’t use his rich friends, he’d never make a startup work. Listen to that fool at your own peril.
“random… see what happens…” Real genius management concept.
Does that include the defense budget? That’s $895B in FY 2025.
If they wanted to balance the budget, Democratic presidents are better at that.
By global standards, America is a start up. Few down years, they blow it up and bring back the abusive CEo that led them in to their darkest era.

I’m dumping my entire stock portfolio. IDK but a lot of things can really bad really quickly.
Trump just added 4 trillion to it. Might be waiting a while.
How about slashing the tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires first…I bet it’d be popular with 99% of Americans
probably easier to balance the budget if they stopped giving tax cuts to billionaires and corporations every year
Just start taxing the churches
What funny everyone applauding all these “cuts” think the money is coming back to them or lessening their tax bill. This is ALL going into the oligarchs pockets we will never see a penny.
Or we could like, tax the billionaires?
We’re never going to balance the fucking budget when the plan is to give a massive tax cut to billionaires and corporations. Revenue is going to plummet.
How about increasing corporate income tax by 10 – 35% and we see what happens?
“Cutting everything”
Means firing American workers.
Remind them this every time. Throw the body count in their face. This man wants thousands of unemployed families and people unable to feed themselves or their kids.
Make it relatable to them because they speak on it like it’s not real people behind it all.
It will be once they’ve burned it to the ground.
