Ain’t it just great living in an upside down universe where every suggestion, every move, every single desire of the ruling class, is in a direction exactly opposite to every known law of economics, progress, and growth.
They are tanking the economy on purpose, you know. For the same reason they are desperately trying to instigate violence from the right.
Just like in Atlas Shrugged, they aren’t trying to live life, but just avoid death (in this case, political death).
Another problem is that businesses continued to work even as dear leader and his cronies continue to pile on them ways of making it all but impossible to profit. Such actions give big brother the idea that reality can be altered to fit his view of how it should work.
