re: #5 JC1

Counterpoint is that Summers is also an idiot with a spotty (that’s being generous) track record.

True but that doesn’t mean that Summers analysis is faulty — except for his assumption that Trump will follow through on his promises. Have no doubt that the real billionaires will prevent Trump from making the worst of economic errors. After all, talking to one billionaire was enough for him to do a 180 on TikTok. He will just do such irreparable damage through backward-looking policies so that China will become the ruler of the world, while we descend into feudalism.
