The Realm of Swindleheim

Several years ago I realized the World of Man is the World of Lies. The biggest liars and frauds are the wealthiest most "powerful" people in this realm of Swindleheim. Essentially this realm of the mind is ruled by used car salesman types. Weirdly, people just keep going along with all the lies.

Elon Musk is one of the most obvious frauds there is. His PR narrative is he's Tony Stark and something from an Ayn Rand novel, but SpaceX and Tesla are more or less spin offs of the Federal Government. Tesla was made possible by taxpayer money and government mandates. Ironically the people who bought a Tesla because of too many CO2 molecules swirling around their heads now hate Tesla and Elon Musk because he's a fascist or whatever nonsense they believe today.

Anyway, I thought I'd write about a less prominent swindler/literal car salesman who utterly wrecked Stellantis but got paid $39.5 million dollars in his last year as a CEO. Carlos Tavares was the CEO of "Stellantis", the US market Chrysler/Jeep/Fiat and made over $100M in the four years he had the job. It seems that company painted itself into a corner with high vehicle prices and sketchy quality.

Why even write about what's the norm? There's not really any point.
