I really don't see how all these firings are going to help the economy, at various state levels or the national level.

If the idea is that almost everyone eventually loses their jobs (knock-on/domino effect), but that we have the tech and infrastructure to make Universal Basic Income (UBI) a reality for everyone, and people can still work at jobs if they want to (for luxury money or the social experience or out of a sense of civic duty), a good organizer would have come up with a reasonable timeline and explained it to everyone in advance.

But I guess that's not the plan, and maybe there is no plan (or even a notion of a plan) other than perhaps some badly formulated Chaos-theory whim that if the Orange Man-Baby tears everything up it will all magically come back together in such a beautiful and better way.

Meanwhile, everyone in America will earn Golden Bonus Points for ratting on their neighbors for whatever rattable offenses they can come up with. Use your imagination! The top five survivors will be showered with gold by Trump himself.


The plan is to drive down wages by cutting the supply of jobs so rich people can make more money due to lower price of labor.

So much for The Road to Serfdom by Hayek (1944) in that case, which I seem to remember was popular among American conservatives about a decade or two ago.
