      Trump is handing America to Russia and they want a pass to be an oligarch.

      “If you don’t have a long memory, you may not recall that in 2019, Amazon accused Trump of pressuring the Pentagon not to award it a $10-billion cloud contract, Jedi, because he hated Bezos. The company would surely not want a repeat performance.

      It’s the same story for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. It’s all about preserving their companies. Trump, freed from restrictions by a rubber-stamp Supreme Court, will be free to do pretty much whatever he wants. What they want is for him not to target their businesses.”

      Pretty much this. Trump’s second term seems to be about using the power of government to punish his enemies and loot the treasury to give tax cuts and government contracts to his friends.

      Yeah, placating wannabe dictators is a good insurance policy for not being shipped off to camp or thrown from a window. Maybe it’ll be needed and maybe not, but better to have it and not need it than not have it and need it.

      Trump idolizes Putin. Rich people can read the room. They also all have 2nd and 3rd passports and contingency plans to flee the country if they need to.

      They aren’t, but some are managing risk.

      It’s…almost as if they could have avoided this by not voting for him.

      It all comes down to $s. If you are not supportive of the administration, there’s a good chance you will not win too many Federal contracts.
