Thanos May Be Powerful, But He Is Not a Very Strong Economist
Both the Mad Titan and the GOP need to learn there’s a better way to address a resource problem.
When Captain America meets Thanos for the first time in Avengers: Infinity War, the Star-Spangled Avenger stands his ground. For a split second, Thanos is taken aback by Steve Rogers’s grit. After all, he had just dispatched most of Cap’s caped colleagues with a flick of his begloved wrist. Yet despite having gathered the power to bend the universe to his whims, Thanos can’t break Captain America.
