Plans to flee? It looks like the family has already moved
Move fast and break another country
He’s concerned about his future in the United States, he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the nation itself.
Argentina may be an unlikely place for a billionaire looking for stability. The country has careened through nearly a century of instability, marred by military coups and spectacular financial collapses epitomized by triple-digit inflation.
My thoughts exactly, NYT.
Inflation doesn’t matter if your wealth is in a (relatively) stable currency.
Even the relatively fast currency crashes are tracked in Forex quite closely, and nowadays even pedestrian banks us mere wage slaves can use offer near real-time exchange on e.g. card purchases. Billionaire’s banks offer even better rates and closer tracking… so it doesn’t matter if the local currency loses half its value overnight, and prices double - since the US dollar would remain relatively stable, a loaf of bread would still be $1, regardless if it cost 3000 coins in local currency or 6000 the next day.
Plus he can afford to pay 2-3-10x price for stuff. Thiel could spend as much a day as my annual salary every day for a year and still come out richer than he was…
I mean, hyper-inflation kinda still matters if all the people around you are subject to it…
He will just have a bulldozer grind the poor into paste before being chauffeured through.
That’s what I don’t understand.
The US proletariat has been fully domesticated, they elected Trump twice and the only mass organised push back are people holding signs on weekends.
I would assume that it would be more comfortable to stay in the US.
“It’s One Banana, Michael. What Could It Cost, $10?”
The US would be a better place if all billionaires fucked off, they are leeches on civilization who spread poverty and suffering and death wherever they go
Hell, the world. The US as a nation has absolutely failed its people and the rest of the planet
he’s fleeing the shithole he’s helped to create.
Every Republican’s dream
This bodes well.
I see a lot of doomerism on the left, but I’m happy to hear that Thiel and I agree on this one thing: his project is not going as well as he had hoped.
Can he not move further afield … like, say, Mercury?
No–the billionaire class wants to go to Mars. So send him to Mars.
Suddenly one of his cronies leans in close and whispers,
“Mr. Thiel, that might be a little too on the nose. Just sayin’”
It’s intentional. He’s going where people like him aren’t shot on sight.
What is with nazis and south america
It’s the USA’s reich project; it just hasn’t gone as well as they thought it would
You can’t call them Nazis in South America. It’s sparkling fascism there
Is champagne sparkling wine when you bring the bottle to California?
Who were the last to escape to Argentina ? 🤔
Some Germans. Maybe an Austrian.
The “Hitler escaped” shit is just Nazi propaganda to try to reduce how fucking wrecked they got by the red army. That piece of human garbage was too afraid to face consequences. He blew his brains out. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Mossad took care of them, and I’m sure there will be a similar situation now (though not Israel of course because they’re on the same side now)
Not really, I mean. A lot of nazis lived long lifes even in Argentina. A couple of people were hit and they abducted Adolf Eichmann but that’s about it.
There are also countless Nazis that were not wearing the uniform. If FDR had not been president we had enough people in power in America that were supporting and would have preferred to support the Nazis.
Henry Ford being the most obvious first name that comes to mind. But, literally, there is a reason all the wealthy today are siding with Israel and American fascist. The Nazis never went away.
Edit:
Henry Fords newspaper for those that have no idea.
I would say Stephen Miller is the equivalent of Adolf Eichmann. But Peter Thiel is close, I mean he’s literally behind this whole authoritarian takeover that’s been in the plans for more than a decade.
Mossad took care of them,
Mossad also ran the Epstein operation. Eff them all with a rusty pitchfork. They are worse than the nazis.
Hmm maybe he didn’t nazi the connection?
Top tip, change “didn’t” to “did” then the pun works better.
There, fixed :)
Great!
🤜🤛
Let him go and charge him 50% of his wealth as a processing fee
Why so little?
Too much and he might stay?
