You are correct with all of that but the US is charging 5 times more than China is for the same deal currently.
I know a lot of people who spent $1 million to set themselves up as in China as 'semi-nationals' who spend a lot of money, pay a lot of taxes and employ a lot of people.
Most of the devices you use to share your thought with us, regardless of where you are in the world, share their origins with some of those people. Be it access entry point, telecoms system, servers or handling logistics for physicality.
I think that Trump is just trying to keep the keel upright as India is about to become the new China and if we're not all in the same boat then whoever gets the wind sets the pace.
I'm just pointing out the similarities that the succeeding nations are doing at the moment.
I don't like it and feel it is still globalisation but set to a different beat.
These 'new jobs' will still be for maximum profit and so the cheaper the workforce the better it is for shareholders.
If the taxpayers=shareholder card being hinted at by Trump works then bully for the US!
However history has shown that it's not about everyone having, it's about making sure that some have not. If that value system is to be maintained then regardless of democratic choice there will be an imbalance towards to those with gaining more.
If I were a conspiracy theorist (Which I'm not) I'd say the whole thing was orchestrated to further divide the rich from poor. As it is I think it's just about treading water against actual threats to the future of the species.
Trump said he thinks he can sell 10 million of these gold cards so clearly many people.
10 million at $5 million each is $50 trillion. That number doesn't seem plausible but a 3% increase in population in exchange for erasing the national debt and $14T excess? Not the worst deal ever.
I thought about this last night. How many people in the world can shill out 5 million dollars? It's not like we're talking about people with net worth of 5 million dollars. It's going to be a range of people between "is that a lot of money?" and "I can still be comfortable after shilling out for it"
And is it for one person? Or 5 mill gets you and your wife and kids over as well?
Let's say that's 350,000 based on report, and we bump that up to 500k since it's 2025, and then we assume they're wrong and we double it to a million. Multiply that by 10 for family with access to people with that kind of wealth.
That's 10 million people who can afford it without factoring in companies and corporations.
I just don't see any more than 1-2 million people signing up for this and I would go even as low as 250k in the first year, after maybe 50-100k initial rush to apply.
But what the fuck do I know? I just think 10 million is impossibly optimistic.
I would love 5 million gold card visas being issued. If he were smart he would cap it at a number thought up by a brain trust to give it that fomo. And you get a NFT of your visa for free!
America is a country not an economic zone.
The base wants America first not flooding the country with more immigrants.
Trump is making a huge mistake with this.
The people who will buy their way in are Chinese spies, Oil sheiks, Israeli spies and Russian oligarchs.
We don't need or want any more of these terrible people here.

People did not vote for this shit.
He didn't run on this shit.
This is a rug pull being performed on the base.
This policy will suppress wages and make housing even more unaffordable for American citizens
There is no defense for this shit.
Again you are perfectly right with all of that.

The Roman empire sold citizenship for money.
How did that end?
Suppress wages, yeah, because the third worlders are just itching to drop 5 mil to come to the US to work for a wage. Jesus dude
Just how many people do you think have five million dollars?
Trump said he thinks he can sell 10 million of these gold cards so clearly many people.
The Israeli, Chinese, Russia, Qatar and Saudi governments can certainly fund many individuals and get their spies or terrorists through this.
10 million at $5 million each is $50 trillion. That number doesn't seem plausible but a 3% increase in population in exchange for erasing the national debt and $14T excess? Not the worst deal ever.
Trump ran on economic populism and being the voice for the forgotten working class men and women of America
Importing 10 million foreigners is not what we want.
Paying off the national debt is pointless when the cunts in Washington will soon rack up the bill again endlessly.
MAGA has always been an immigration restrictionist movement.
This is a bait and switch being performed

According to The Wealth Report, published by Knight Frank in 2021, there are more than 520,000 (with net worth of 30 million or more), a third live in the US
Let's say that's 350,000 based on report, and we bump that up to 500k since it's 2025, and then we assume they're wrong and we double it to a million. Multiply that by 10 for family with access to people with that kind of wealth.

The Israeli spies dont need to buy what they already own.
I don't want anyone to be able to buy their way into my country. This is no better than the hordes invading by subterfuge.
Make xenophobia great again!
They're doing this anyway with a few bribes to congressmen.
The taxpayers should get that money instead.
