Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician.

Controlled economies are much less stable

Said in thread about how nuking the control over the economy is about to cause a recession. Yeah, sure.

Deregulation almost always leads to the working class being robbed, the land poisoned, and people killed.

Every economy is controlled in some way.

The difference is nobody wants to fix them right now, instead misdirecting people toward "woke DEI" and "government waste" as if reducing these will magically fix the crisis.

I think there are plenty of people that want to fix these issues, but at least in the US (and I guess anywhere that is falling into fascism), they are locked out or hindered by politicians and other ghouls who are too preoccupied stripping everything for parts before they ultimately bail and leave behind a fucking mess (2008 housing crash vibes).
