Me neither. The stock market in general seems disturbingly receptive to an authoritarian agenda.

Elon Musk and Warren Buffet on the same page?

Elon Musk Backs Warren Buffett's Brutal '5-Minute Deficit Fix' To Ban Congress From Reelection If They Blow the Budget: '100% This Is the Way'

Quote:
More than a decade ago, Warren Buffett said the national deficit could be solved in just five minutes. His plan? "You just pass a law that says that any time there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection."
Quote:
On June 4, Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) posted the clip on X and asked, "Would you support this amendment?" Elon Musk didn't hesitate. He reposted it with the words "100%" and "This is the way," signaling full endorsement of Buffett's blunt solution.
Hope this develops some headwind soon.

It would need to be a constitutional amendment, because this SCOTUS would declare it to be unconstitutional.
