If (when is probably most apt) Trump continues to screw the pooch, his supporters will do nothing. Americans never do anything.

I thought I would never say this, but I kind of feel for Wall Street investors. But, especially small businesses. They have no idea what a three year plan should look like. The wheels will stop turning. Except for the billionaires.

Wow. Change Trump to Obama in your post and you have the last 8 years. Why can't you see that you drank the kool-aid and won't accept that our country is in horrible shape. We have proof and you have speculation. Just sit back and relax. You can get more kool-aid at the grocery store.

Since I work for a billionaire, I think this is smashing. The more money he makes, the more he invests in our community. Since we are 100% dependant on oil and gas, we spend more than half our lives in a bust cycle wishing we could find prosperity. If my employer can help diversify the local economy, then it'll positively impact the prospects of 200k people living in the area.
I can't see that being a bad thing.

What makes you think your billionaire boss is investing in the community?
Diversification comes from small business, not billionaires.
There's nothing logical about giving billionaires tax breaks to improve local economies. When everyone is living off of table scraps from the rich, your idea to make things better for the poor is to give the rich bigger portions? SMH...

The first and most obvious is the ACA. The liberty to choose my own insurance company, kind of coverage or not to be insured, at all. I admit some gains, but at the expense of too many liberties.
That is the signal example.
You can choose your own private Ins. company. You can choose what kind of coverage you want as well. But no, you cannot be uninsured and just show up at the emergency room anytime you catch a cold so that the taxpayers can pay for your bill.
Did you know that before the ACA, uninsured people cost the US taxpayer 3.5 billion per year in emergency room visits alone? Did you know that insurance premiums have risen at a lesser rate than they did before ACA?
Did you know that none of your liberties have been taken away under the Obama administration? I bet you didn't...

None of you will do squat sh*t. You wouldn't dare risk all those modern 'Murican comforts-- long hot showers, a new poorly manufactured low quality shiny car every 5 years, a nice space pillow for your sore neck from hunching over your office desk all day, all your frivolous toys and consumerist crap you horde in your big empty house, Internet access for the purpose of sperging out on social media and airing your insipid brain farts, your GMO high fructose corn syrup snacks, your pharmaceutical tranquilizers, your mental pacification imagery (Television & YouTube etc.), your trance-inducing ritualistic hedonistic drum-beats with the sole message "it feels good, it feels good" (popular music).
Don't lie, you know in your heart of hearts that Americans and Westerners are a bunch of passive hogs blissfully rolling in each other's sh*t.
