The First 100 Days - Smash & Grab [1]

The Art of the Steal – First 100 days’ damage

They call it a honeymoon period. Hogwash. More like a smash-and-grab before the guards figure out the alarms are even broken. First hundred days? That's when the real grift goes down. When they're all still blinded by the shiny new promises, the gauzy hopes, and dreams. Perfect cover for slipping the good silver into your own damn pockets.

Look at the history books, if you can stomach the stench of 'em. Every regime, every single one, uses those first few weeks to set the stage. To bury the bodies, rewrite the scripts, and plant the seeds of the next big score. Think about it: Overnight regulations gutted? Contracts handed to “trusted” associates? Policies implemented under the guise of "emergency measures"? That ain't governing, that's legalized larceny.

And the beauty of it? Nobody bats an eye. Not at first, anyway. They’re too busy waving flags, shouting slogans, and generally getting drunk on the Kool-Aid of change. By the time they realize they've been had, the money's gone, the laws are rigged, and the whole damn game's been tilted in favor of the thieves.

So, yeah, the first hundred days? That's when you gotta watch 'em like a hawk. 'Cause that's when the real damage is done. The kind of damage that takes years, maybe even generations, to undo. The kind of damage that leaves a stain you can never quite wash away. Remember that, and maybe, just maybe, you stand a chance of keeping your own wallet from getting clipped.
