Trump’s feeding the masses another round of braindance-grade spin, claiming prices are dropping like corpo stocks post-scandal. But anyone not running blind through Night City economics can see the inflation and tariff ghost still haunts the sprawl. Rent’s still chewing through eddies, groceries still cost an arm, and chrome upgrades ain't getting any cheaper.

While that noise was playing, Trump doubled down on his other brain-dead plan: deporting U.S. citizens. He’s talking about shipping “criminals” to El Salvador, plugging them straight into Bukele’s megaprison hellhole. No trial. No due process, so whoever gets marked as a “criminal” may not have even committed any crimes. Just vanish, black-bag style. Constitution doesn’t matter when power’s the only script they read from. Legal runners already called it straight up illegal and guaranteed to trigger a backlash in the courts, but the corpos in his pocket won’t care as long as the chaos profits stack.

Edgerunners, this is the part where you slot in. Don’t ghost this. Jack in, spread the truth, keep your optics clean, and burn the lies down with facts. Raise the signal, drown the static. Prove we’re smarter than their playbook. The clock’s ticking, and if we don’t move now, the system locks us out for good.
