Led By Gilded Fools@HeliosPi Are there going to be Pinatas? #PinataEconimics
How about something to slice open some watermelons? #GuillotineTheRich
@dangillmor When they treat humans like Pinatas', then its time for #PinataEconomics #PinataEconimics where we beat the rich with sticks until the wealth is redistributed
@moira #PinataEconimics works for the rich and ICE interchangeably.
Edit: corrected hashtag should be #PinataEconomics
@Mikal Like in this post? #Autarky

Some accounts of #Trump’s approach to #trade, …identify William McKinley, 25th POTUS, as inspiration. Others suggest that #Hitler’s Germany, which pursued an economic policy of self-sufficiency, or #autarky, may be Trump’s real role model. Wherever he got his love of #tariffs & #protectionism, the intellectual antecedents of his approach go back to English mercantilist thinkers of the 16th & 17th centuries, who also viewed trade as a zero-sum enterprise in which one side wins & the other loses.
