Oh and little tidbit for you Chop. As per Bannon (you can either believe this or not) Lutnick was Musks pick for sec of treasury and Trump put him as commerce secretary instead.

I know this Bannon hates Nutlicks guts (and Elon too).

If I’m not mistaken Bannon loves Bessent and pushed him hard.

Bannon is the GOAT - Its funny because Sturg thinks I'm a Trump cultist when really Bannon has been the formative figure of my worldview.

Bannon’s economics are informed by his politics. They are a means to his end.

Bannon’s *everything* is informed by his politics. I’m pretty sure that dude would be fine with opening up death camps if he could be in the Reich.

Robotics is the long term play - Its just scary for people to hear that.

It’s scarier when the people in charge also pretend that robotics isn’t the long-term play and make prices more expensive to bring back manufacturing jobs that will then be replaced by robotic jobs.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - The same guy that defends the JUDEO-Christian west all the time.

What a clown take and clearly someone who has never listened to a word of Bannon.

See this is what you don't understand - Robotics will usher in new types of manufacturing jobs just like the industrial revolution did.

Those jobs will be in the US.

Not everything is meant that literally, I didn’t mean this as a Jewish thing. I meant that Bannon is a special breed of person who would do damn near anything for power.

This is really a bad interpretation of Bannon.

I’ll take it on the chin that I’m being thick-headed on Bannon. Bannon is obviously quite bright, and I don’t even actually mean this in the sense that Bannon is doing specifically bad things. I abhor him because I’m very adamantly opposed to the ‘ends justify the means’ brand of politics and just don’t respect his transparently amoral (not immoral) approach to the relationship between politics and governance.

Yes. This is more accurate (and aligned with my feelings towards him).

If you want to understand MAGA, you have to listen to Bannon. He’s the only person in right leaning media that understands that zeitgeist.
