Chase wants to completely get rid of all tariffs, so, I mean, some of his policies aren’t the greatest
He makes a compelling argument against tariffs as public policy. But he’s still a business-first libertarian, which means his views on environmental regulation and labor rights and various federal public services also suck.
Guns? Great. Drugs? Great. Crime and punishment? Great.
Eh. I wish his immigration policy was as laisse-faire as his guns and drugs policy.
But most of his power and economics policies would completely dog-fuck the US economy
Our economy was dog-fucked ages ago, when we deindustrialized the midwest and plowed endless subsidies into FIRE and Tech sectors. Now we’ve got a bunch of computers churning out trillion dollar digital nothings, while investment cash flows like a waterfall into finance, insurance, and real estate, but our actual industrial capacity remains in a vestigial state.
We can’t even make enough new silicon chips to feed our antiquated ICE engine automotive industry.
I don’t think Oliver really has a path out of that mess, but its hardly his fault we got here.
I prefer the term rat-fucked. Because one small group came in and took all the best parts of the Economy, leaving everyone else with powdered eggs and ham loaf. Not to mention the extra constipation causing cheese product.
At least when dog-fucking occurs, cute puppies come out. After a good rat-fucking, all you get is weird diseases and shame.

I mean, yeah, I agree on pretty much all counts. But, you know, typically you renovate a shitty house instead of punching holes in the walls.
Very hard to get rid of all the rotten drywall if you’re not willing to swing the hammer
