It could be that losing a job due to automation is karma for people who voted. Not opposing the government has consequences: squeezing entrepreneurs instead of government has its limits. Governments can (and will) penalize businesses that don't hire people. But that creates a

Mark Thornton Donald J. Trump Elon Musk Vivek Ramaswamy Mises Institute Hi, Mark.

"Trump winning would be a utter disaster!" "Kamala winning would be a utter disaster!" Logically, those are statements of an anarchist. Because if either choice is an unimaginable disaster, then obviously anarchy is a better option. If anarchy was the worse possible, option,
