“Temporary hardship” for thee, but not for me

That's the year I was born.

My bad.

Nah he meant 1981, rest in piss Reagan.

"Temporary difficulties" last his entire term and then he blames the Democrats, Haitians and Puerto Ricans

Musk went on to clarify that that temporary hardship is currently projected to last just 4 short years.

And if you vote Republican again in 2028, surely the hardship will be overcome in that time. Or maybe 2032 when we get there.

So long story short if we don't elect him we're all good

Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make

Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a more grudging way, have said to people ‘I offer you a good time,’ Hitler has said to them ‘I offer you struggle, danger and death,’ and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet. Perhaps later on they will get sick of it and change their minds, as at the end of the last war. After a few years of slaughter and starvation ‘Greatest happiness of the greatest number’ is a good slogan, but at this moment ‘Better an end with horror than a horror without end’ is a winner. Now that we are fighting against the man who coined it, we ought not to underrate its emotional appeal.

From George Orwell's 1940 review of Mein Kampf.

Goddamn.

Orwell goes hard. It's unfortunate that he's known for two books that people pretend they read in high school because their English teacher made them.

You know what comes before permanent hardship?
"Temporary" hardship.

Just like temporary solutions turn into... you know.

Headline is true, he will. He will also bring permanent hardship. And for some, final hardship. Like when the mass deportations turn into mass executions.

What a message to try and win a tight race on. They have completely given up on optimism, it's only fear and death to their enemies.

Holy shit, this guy has the same name as the Elon Musk who’s gotten billions in government contracts with NASA.

What are the odds? Anyway, I have an idea where we could start cutting costs. It’s only temporary while we make America great again. Again.

Musk got billions or SpaceX did?

Hate on Musk all you like but the people at SpaceX are busting their ass and ultimately I think it's a good thing for the future of space flight.

SpaceX is decades (and billions of subsidized taxpayer dollars) behind projections. They were supposed to be deploying multiple manned missions to a terraformed city/base on Mars at this point. I have friends that were employed by and have since left spacex because it degraded into more and more of an overt, disastrous shit show, unsafe working conditions, constant facetious "everyone had to work doubles through the weekends or else" memos, along with constant threats to uproot their families and move them cross country - as a tactic to indirectly lay them off for the most part.

You have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

All hardship is temporary. Even if it destroys the USA

Temporary only if you're a rich, white, cishet man

Not at all if you're rich, and not temporary even for the rest.

Hey now, it's still temporary. The sweet release if death exists, after all

Well sure. You think dissidents silence themselves voluntarily?

What a cute love triangle. I wonder who's the middle. UwU

Yep, it will be temporarily hard for all of us in the camps. Do you think it will be gas again this time around? Probably, like the last time, it will be bullets until the raw anger subsides. Then efficiency experts will be called in and determine that gas is more cost effective.

Information for HuffPost:

Wiki: reliable - A 2020 RfC found HuffPost staff writers fairly reliable for factual reporting on non-political topics, but notes that they may give prominence to topics that support their political bias and less prominence to, or omit, things that contradict it. HuffPost's reliability has increased since 2012; articles before 2012 are less reliable and should be treated with more caution. HuffPost uses clickbait headlines to attract attention to its articles, thus the body text of any HuffPost article is considered more reliable than its headline.

Wiki: mixed - In the 2020 RfC, there was no consensus on HuffPost staff writers' reliability for political topics. The community considers HuffPost openly biased on American politics. There is no consensus on its reliability for international politics. See also: HuffPost (excluding politics), HuffPost contributors.

> Wiki: unreliable - Until 2018, the U.S. edition of HuffPost published content written by contributors with near-zero editorial oversight. These contributors generally did not have a reputation for fact-checking, and most editors consider them highly variable in quality. Editors show consensus for treating HuffPost contributor articles as self-published sources, unless the article was written by a subject-matter expert.

Doesnt really matter who is elected, tough times are on the horizon. The global financial fragmentation that has occurred since covid, war in Ukraine, and spreading wars throughout the middle East make it a certainty. Good luck everybody.

You mean since the 1970s. We’ve been off the tracks ever since we turned USD into a fiat currency.

I agree that it mostly doesn’t matter who the president is because no matter what this train is coming to an end.

With that said Trump is a massive piece of shit and we don’t need to turn a bad situation into a considerably worse situation.

There isn’t a reality where electing Trump is good for the common person.
