There's a thriving dark economy in good quality second hand goods.
Prized items that all pinpoint what date a company decided to enshittify:
Garage sales & boot sales selling ...
1. Grandma's all-steel Singer sewing machines.
2. Auntie's canning jar collection
3. Bosch home appliances
4. Kitchenaid mixers
5. Vehicles: Volvo, Toyota, Honda, old Ford trucks
6. Old farm tractors
7. IBM laptops
8. Unsmart refrigerators & washers
Brands that used to be good.

Trump isn't "trying to lose the midterms"; he's trying to buy the support of oil oligarchs & petrostate despots that will make the midterms irrelevant.
Trump is doing all he can to thwart the apparatus of elections & promoting every mechanism of election meddling ever invented.
These efforts are funded by the Epstein Class.
1. AI disinformation
2. Gerrymandering
3. ICE thugs as "poll watchers"
4. Voter Suppression
5. Voter rolls
6. Surveillance
7. Purging voters
8. Census chaos

"Fossil fuel billionaires pay for policies that ignore the obvious results of their ecocide.
The year-round wildfire seasons in Colorado & California, just ignore that.
Nevermind about your burning homes & unbreathable air."
The Epstein Class can be pretty obtuse but even they will notice that their homes are threatened by fossil fuel climate change & wildfires.

Koch Network has a long history of keeping money-losing businesses afloat to achieve other goals.
They kept Uber & Lyfft out of bankruptcy, to thwart public transportation projects.
When Koch Network orders up a fossil fuel-guzzling waste, with a side of state surveillance, they get what they want. Or they think they will.
These billionaires don't give two hoots about "economic mobility", except their own.

Precarity is a wonderful tool for the 1%
1. Get an underpaid underground economy from migrant labor. It suppresses all wages as a consequence.
2. Ensures prospective new citizens never gain a foothold & put down roots.
3. "Have not, have yacht" economic policy bolsters white supremacy
This is the perfect way to create the conditions of immiseration to kneecap democracy

Just look at Wisconsin under Scott Walker.

One aspect of American policies of immiseration is the reduction in tax revenue.
People stop gasing up their huge SUV's, no sales taxes.
People laid off or stuck in low wage ghettos, no income taxes.
People unhoused, no property taxes.
People stop flying, no airline surcharges.
No taxes means no funding for America's war machine, no matter how much nuclear tech or military gear the GOP sells to Saudi petrostate despots.

Ex:
#TeslaTakedown caused a big drop in sales, because Musk enshittified Twitter with Nazis & his DOGE effort was just a data theft.
Tesla is the worst car in its category for safety, longevity, & reliability.
Taking out Tesla was a public service that likely saved lives.
Musk has had to resort to various circular financing schemes to evade a blowout on the Tesla stock valuation that keeps him out of bankruptcy.
Economic warfare on the billionaires funding fascism work well.

AI is definitely like a pedophile trolling for little children on public streets using free candy as a lure.

Toyota is another company embedding spyware in their vehicles, like Tesla. Good one to boycott too.

Eead a history on the Spice Trade & Silk Road
The role religion played in building trust & then trade was critical. Trade builds peace
Trade, pilgrimage, & mutual aid spread shared values, ideas, innovation, philosophy, science, mathematics, even food items like the apple & lemon
Religion has done some horrible things to humanity's cultural heritage but its also done many others that advanced humanity
Literacy being number one in my view.

Inbred upper class twits from the UK...
... meet the American equivalent, The Stupid Rich.
The same type of people that gutted the British Empire through two world wars, enabled by elite traitors like Sir Oswald Mosley & the Duke of Windsor.
Trump's cronies are doing the same to America's fossil fuel empire. Hopefully, without the world war, fingers crossed.

There's some evidence to show that the tech bro oligarchy is mimicking Christianity's systems of control.

The investors behind AI seem strangely dumb about simple arithmetic.
There isn't enough interest in consumer AI for it to be popular enough to be profitable, ever
There aren't enough fascist governments willing to buy a state surveillance system
There aren't enough lonely chauvinists looking for AI "girlfriends"
The fossil fuel industry isn't interested in paying for AI disinformation campaigns. There's plenty of poor people globally willing to do that all day for $2.06 a day
