  • We can’t lay all of the blame on trump.

    The problem is conservatism in general. Every Republican president of the past 50 years has caused economic turmoil. When Republicans get power in the legislature, the only notable thing they work towards is tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, and gutting things that help people in order to pay for it.

    Trump isn’t singularly the problem here, but he is so fucking stupid that he’s speedrunning the economic crisis. A Republican with a halfway functional brain would know to move slowly enough that the economy falls apart as they’re heading out the door, not within the first 20% of their term.

    Start selling trump “I did that!” stickers of him pointing up at the eclipse. You’ll start seeing them everywhere soon. Gas pumps, grocery store shelves, car dealerships, etc.






  • Or just run around the board, tracking your laps. Every lap, shit gets more expensive. The first player to go around the board 5 times without going bankrupt or drawing a “you died” chance card wins.

    Other chance cards could include “you survived the round of layoffs, but productivity goals remain the same. Lose $50 buying coffee to keep up.” Or “Take a mental health day. Gain $20 since you didn’t spend it commuting.” Or “Sunday brunch with friends. Lose $30 on avocado toast and mimosas.”

    Community chest cards can all be like $5 of help and specifically point out that social safety nets have been all but dismantled. Some can be dropping like $100 on you, but at the cost of your next turn because you spent all day on the phone and/or doing tedious paperwork to maximize assistance.

    Somebody take these ideas and just make a new board game called Peasants or Surviving Capitalism or Proletarians or something. If you make a ton of money off of it, just throw me 1%. If you only make a little money, just throw me a free copy.
