Trump's using his kayfabe to flood the zone with shit.

"81 false narratives have circulated about the causes and responses to the fires, and since starting their response, they have tracked millions of engagements on X, Instagram and TikTok. The governor’s team has started a dedicated website on what’s fact and what’s not. Newsom’s aides feel good about the progress they have, but admit that the efforts have sapped attention and resources, especially when the president of the United States and <Musk> the owner of one of the largest social media platforms are actively pushing against them. “How do you operate if you think that the governor of California started these fires to cover up pedophile tunnels under LA? All the energy spent just to fight that back is absurd. We’re in a whole new environment where ignoring the bullsh*t doesn’t work anymore,” said another Newsom adviser. “It feels like dealing with two wars: the fires and the deluge of bullsh*t.”

This! The zone is becoming flooded so fast that tremendous resources and energy are needing to be devoted to getting the facts straight, legal challenges, etc. Not just in California but everywhere.

Another thread asked if anyone was changing their investment strategy based on the new administration. How do you invest in "lawyers"?

Maybe by turning the question around a bit. Rather than invest in lawyers, find businesses that aren't going to need an influx of lawyers.

Or get a law degree yourself (or encourage your kids to go into law).
