Vice President JD Vance posted on X
“The bitter irony of America’s present predicament is that the very people who cheer for permanent arms shipments to Ukraine also supported the de-industrialization of America. The very things you want us to send are things we don’t make enough of."Private equity underwriters (PEUs) drove the de-industrialization of America, cheered on by elected officials in both political parties. Blackstone, Carlyle, KKR and Apollo sent U.S. manufacturing jobs to China by the junkload, while PEU founders watched from their yacht deckchairs.
As a TechGod and Narya Capital PEU founder, Vice President JD Vance should know.
Flashback four years:
Rabobank's Michael Every noted in a Wealthion interview. "China never wants to repeat what happened to the U.S. They are fully cognizant how the U.S. was de-industrialized, hollowed out. They were the primary beneficiary of that."
Flashback fourteen years:
A major business reporter wrote in 2011: I have seen so many people -- particularly those in their 50s - 70s -- taken apart by what has happened in their industry as greed has hollowed out the economy. These are people took pride in their jobs and held themselves to this invisible standard that we all just took for granted, but is being wiped out.
The Carlyle Group scares me more than anything I've ever seen on Wall Street. It seems to exist to corrupt politicians and it's hard to know who they even represent.
Carlyle, back then...TechGod/PEU alliance which birthed DOGE, today....
Trump II, the digital Caligula, implements the de-governmentalization of America:
- sending federal workers packing under a barrage of insults
- carving out huge legal areas as "no longer enforced"
- turning standard measures like "GDP" and "deficits" into fantasy constructs
- making conflicts of interest a badge of honor while celebrating extreme acts of blatant self-interest
- installing the largest group of lickspittle rectum "Yes" men into critical roles to carry out the Donarch's wishes "to the D" (detriment of our country)
Flashback two days ago:
....DOGE’s AI can streamline and automate the government is already being used to justify the hollowing out and the reshaping of the federal workforce.
DOGE is implementing the PEU playbook. This, after TechGods imitated PEU Legends in coopting government, elected officials and appointed bureaucrats.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and increasingly, more are one. TechGods joined the PEUarty and it's their turn to benefit mightily from Uncle Sam's wallet.
