Insider trading as a service. No one is going to take the US seriously for the next 50 years.

Or possibly ever again. Eras like this one can be what kills an empire/great power.

I think one of the greater risks to a power like the U.S. is getting old enough where it's felt like things always were, and therefore always will be. When there is no-longer a grandparent at the dinner table who can even tell you when his grandparent at the dinner table spoke about the before times.

Right, the fact that the current administration had a 4 year hiatus only extended this period. Think about all the young people that grew up with this as normal.

Why would anyone want to pay that much for something, unless it gives them some edge.

I don't know if it is still a thing, but in the world of penny stocks and crypto there used to be subscription pump and dump channels, where influencers would charge $x / month, and coordinate pumps. "Signal" channels, as they were named.

This can't be too different. If not even more straight forward insider stuff.

Either that, or it is just another way to bribe your way closer to Trump.

Business idea for Trump: Sell access to his Truth Social posts, but bake in some latency. Those that pay most, will get to see the posts first (via API). Then after X minutes of posting the posts will go live for everyone to see. How fast you want to see the post between publishing and public access, depends on how much you want to pay. The less latency, the more you need to pay.

Is there actually any good analogue for this era that caused a previous empire or great power to collapse?
