One man against the system


Billionaire investor Mark Cuban could find himself in a lot of trouble soon. Through one of his investments, an online pharmacy, Mr. Cuban is waging a price war against the pharmaceutical industry ("big pharma"). One man against the system does not tend to play out well for the man.

One man against the system

Whenever you have one man betting against the system, your better odds are betting on the system. It will not be surprising if Mr. Cuban's online pharmacy venture is suddenly investigated for a myriad of potential violations. Meds are sacred in American culture. The medical and pharmaceutical establishment is unbeatable. Many others have tried to revolutionize the system. Good luck to Mr. Cuban. Unfortunately, we are betting against his venture. One way or another, big pharma will prevail.

Moving onto politics now, we are also betting heavily against Trump. The MAGA king is rallying around essentially confessing to the crimes that led to the fail coup of January 6, 2021. Trump is popular within a segment of the American population, but that segment is getting progressively smaller and more marginalized. In the end, the system will beat Trump. 

Americans are not dumb

Americans know exactly what Trump is trying to accomplish. Above all, Americans love the idea that no one is above the law. Not even Trump, the MAGA king, is above the law. A poll published today suggests that about 60% of Americans support charging Trump with federal and state crimes. This is not surprising knowing how unpopular Trump has always been in politics. Let's not forget that even though Trump was president, Trump lost the popular vote both in 2016 and 2020. 

Inflation won't last forever

Americans are upset with inflation, but are getting used to it. Prices in many sectors are beginning to go down. Everything that goes up, eventually comes down. MAGA folks are betting on inflation, but inflation will not be here forever. Once you move from inflation to other topics, the edge goes back to Team Diversity and the Democrats against the MAGA ruined Republican party. 

MAGA is COVID to the Republican party. The party would only have a chance at presidential elections if it can get rid of the MAGA brand. The MAGA brand stands for old school racism and conservatism that is becoming numerically impossible in our diverse country.  

Criminal charges against Trump?

To make matters worse for the MAGA folks, the Department of Justice may commence a grand jury indictment process against Trump. The January 6th hearings are leaving the Department very little choice. Trump bragging about his crimes and even offering pardons for those involved in the coup is not helping the man at all. 

When a man tries to run against the system, the man can attain certain popularity, but sooner or later the system brings down the man. Bring out the popcorn. Defeating Trump will be fun, interesting, and maga historic.

Food for thought. What do you think.

Great Replacement

Great Replacement vs Great Awakening The Great Replacement is the observation that a segment of the American political left wants to control the Nation politically by replacing American born white voters with nonwhite immigrants. The Great Awakening is the counter observation that a segment of the American political right wants to control the Nation by instigating white rage and white supremacy. Both observations hold true in the eyes of their respective beholders. This is still the classic North vs South conflict in America. There is a lot of money to be made keeping our Nation together and avoiding a second civil war.   TakeSlap serves spicy food for thought. We toss words together to slap you into innovative thinking.
