🚨David Friedberg predicts the path to “Comrade AOC,” national asset seizures, and data centers becoming the next target.
“They enact policy starting in 2028 with Comrade AOC in charge… costs balloon, the bond market sells off… and now the 30-year yield spikes 7%, 8%, maybe more.”
Higher rates make housing even less affordable. Then the government needs more money.
“So now we need to pass a national asset seizure tax.”
But there isn’t enough wealth at the top.
“The total net worth of all people that are worth over $50 million is only $23 trillion.”
@DavidSacks points to a Cato estimate putting nine DSA-style proposals at $71 TRILLION to $212 TRILLION over 10 years.
The entire Forbes 400 is worth just $6.6 trillion.
Eventually, Friedberg argues, you run out of billionaires to tax and move toward confiscation and scapegoating.
@chamath: “The billionaires will be scapegoated, and the trillionaires will be, I mean, even worse.”
Then tech becomes the target:
“The data center is the temple where the billionaires and trillionaires pray.”
@friedberg’s warning: massive DSA-style government spending makes the affordability crisis worse, fuels resentment, and eventually creates the political justification for national asset seizures.
