Pam Bondi screams, “The Dow is over 50,000!” when asked about Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators.And suddenly the mask slips.Is it deflection? Gaslighting? Or is it translation?In Chapter 24 of the Tao of Lloyd,  Lloyd Dobler explores what happens when performance replaces truth, when the market matters more than the missing, when green arrows outweigh human beings, and when even resistance starts to feel like auditioning.Because here’s the uncomfortable twist:It’s not just Pam Bondi performing.It’s all of us.Using Chapter 24 of the Tao Te Ching: “Just do your job, then let go”, Lloyd wrestles with spectacle, credibility, outrage, and the empire’s operating system that demands we shine, define, and prove ourselves constantly.The Dow of MAGA vs. the Tao of Lloyd.Performance vs. presence.🎧 Season 2 of The Tao of Lloyd continues—two episodes a week.Listen wherever you get podcasts or at patreon.com/taooflloyd.Send a text.
