Ironically, Trump signed an executive order today calling for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund. Such funds are usually created by countries – such as Norway and Saudi Arabia – with large budget surpluses.
Wealth and power is concentrated in the hands of a select few — those few are doing all they can to obtain even more wealth and power. (Greed has NO limits. None)
Magas believe these concentrations are beneficial to them — because it damages Those People even more.
The King of the Coins sat high in his seat,Counting his riches, so shiny, so sweet.His tricksters and fools bowed at his feet,Laughing as workers fell into the street.
He summoned young wizards with codes in their hands,“Crack all the gates! Take over the lands!”With barely a clue, they hacked and they schemed,Draining the vaults while the people all screamed.
The scribes and the scholars cried out, “This is theft!”But the King only grinned—“There’s nothing left.”He slapped on the tariffs, he doubled the tolls,And watched as the peasants dug deeper in holes.
The neighbors grew angry, their patience ran thin,“No trade! No treaties! No dealings with him!”Still, the King only chuckled, his pockets now fat,“Let them all suffer—I’ll take more than that.”
The castle walls crumbled, the cities grew dim,The wells all ran dry, but none cared for them.For the King of the Coins had all he could take,And left behind nothing but ruin in his wake.
The kingdom lay broken, its people left poor,While the billionaire and his minions walked out the back door.So listen, my children, and heed what is true—When greed is the ruler, it devours you.

Yesterday I saw a headline that the Trump admin wants to set up a sovereign wealth fund.

Substitute “Clem the Con Man” with “Musk the Megalomaniac” and this strip nails today’s headlines!
