О бессмысленности политических споров в соц сетях

[timelets]

Недавно смотрел какие-то опросы про раскол американского общества. В большинстве своем, демократы считают республиканцев идиотами, а республиканцы считают демократов идиотами. Соотношение примерно 9:1 с обеих сторон. Очевидно, что шансы на осмысленный спор о текущей политике и экономике возможен в очень узкой прослойке людей, которые доверяют друг другу. Поэтому наша единственная надежда, что Gary Cohn не даст Дональду Трампу угробить экономику страны (и мира).

Mr. Cohn also argued that the bold infrastructure projects that Mr. Trump envisioned would need private-industry partners, those people said, in order to avoid weighing down the government with costs.

That got Mr. Trump’s attention.

The president-elect turned to the other people in the room — his son-in-law, Jared Kushner; his chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon; his chief of staff, Reince Priebus; and Steven T. Mnuchin, his campaign’s chief fund-raiser and Mr. Trump’s nominee to be Treasury secretary — surprised that his infrastructure ideas had such a potential downside.

“Is this true?” Mr. Trump asked the group, according to those people. Heads nodded. “Why did I have to wait to have this guy tell me?” he demanded.

I don't know. But isn't it better for all of us that he is tweeting rather than trying to govern ? https://t.co/953MuEdfeu

Lewis Black: "Democrats are dumb and Republicans are stupid,"

Good luck to Gary Cohn and "trumped-up trickle-down" economics!

Rich people will get tax cuts, and they own a lot of stock. So that’s good for the Dow, for now. But good luck to the investor trying to time the jump from that runaway train.

Getting out is the most important part of any Trump enterprise. We'll see how it works this time around.
