Currently, Trump is the only one who can make the SAVE Act happen, yet he seems to have no interest in doing so.
Recently, I wrote a piece that received some pushback. I wondered if Donald Trump was making the same mistake as George Bush Sr. did when he broke his “Read my lips: No new taxes” pledge.
If you read my work regularly, you’ll notice a decidedly clear bias towards warnings of doom. It’s not my default position that life is nothing but doom and gloom. On the contrary. I actually have a website that explicitly talks about how good we have things and encourages gratitude for the American entrepreneurs and inventors who made our lives possible. In a universe where most of history was characterized by scarcity, war, slavery, and early death, most Americans today have relatively extraordinary lives.
Everything we have today came about as the result of the hard work of generations of people who left us this legacy. From the Founding Fathers leaving us the Constitution to Grant defeating the South to Rockefeller rationalizing energy to Jobs putting the Internet in our hands, everything we have in the 21st century came from the efforts of countless numbers of long-dead people, as well as (often) our own efforts.
To the degree that one can identify the elements that made the last 250 years so different from any prior period, it was this combination of individual freedom, free markets, private property, and limited government. Those elements laid the foundation for a nation to spread across a continent, become an industrial juggernaut, and become an economic powerhouse able to promote freedom and prosperity to billions of people around the world.
That anger you sometimes see reflected in my writing stems from the government's efforts

Government has become a growing parasite with a huge appetite.
I hope that the Trump admin listens to this because I have not heard any pushback from them about pushback on the EU for their antics regarding this.

The Republicans tossed away almost all their leverage when Trump signed the spending bill.
No you are wrong. Pay attention !
There is no parasite. There are common thieves operating humongous networks of fake NGO’s siphoning off untold billions of taxpayer money
The American government presently is or was, a vast series of valves and NGO pipes through which flow the Democrats theft of tax payer money.
Minnesota is being politically destroyed while the various fraudulent childcare entities are being exterminated.
California is next, apparently beginning this week.
At this point of lawlessness, it is now every man for himself.
I see no trend to restoring the rule of law. No law has been enforced by clear demonstration of the trillions of dollars stolen through fraud throughout every State, even our adopted home State of Florida.
Toss in judges letting violent criminals go because they are not white and we have to defend ourselves since government will not do it by enforcing any laws.
Not going to happen. We have been down the censorship road. They lost.
Musk should try to buy land off say Ukraine to create his own country.
This country should seek to become a nuclear power.
The EU is basically the Fourth Reich.
Ford had to serve its Nazi masters and now its Musk’s turn.
Musk could prop up Free Republic and The Conservative Treehouse with what to him would be financial crumbs.
He might set up the Musk Conservative Media Trust. The Guardian is owned by a trust.
Health care for Trump might cost him .002% of his wealth annually.
It would be much like us pay a dime a month for health care.
Ford had to serve its Nazi masters and now it’s Musk’s turn.
Elon Musk has already surpassed you expectations.
He established X. He has now apparently merged X/AI with Space X prior to the IPO that will create a corporation valued in excess of a trillion US$’s
Some believe that he will then merge the Tesla AI capabilities with SpaceX/X and have the unequaled, unparalleled AI capabilities in the world.
In so doing, the conglomerate will employ the largest and smartest amalgamation of human brains ever assembled into one collection.
Fighting in Congress to send middle-class income and property taxation cap constitutional amendments to the states would make Congress turn deep red come 2027.
Elected Republicans: If you like your job, you can keep your job (if you fight for the middle class).
Is that the AI that can’t censor X to EU satisfaction?
“He established X.”
He bought what became X for a sum many here including me thought was too high.
Understanding is alas, beyond my capacity
“Trump is the only one who can make the SAVE Act happen, yet he seems to have no interest in doing so.”
He’s not going to run again.
But, you see, you can’t conceive the value of what X WILL BE.
You are not Elon Musk, and can’t begin to understand the complexity of the envisioned creation of which X is only a portion.
Me either. I can merely sit and observe what the man is creating. I did buy an “Occupy Mars” T shirt
Government has become a growing parasite with a huge appetite.
The movie “The Matrix” was a prophecy and a warning. Only, they don’t want our electrical impulses. They want our money.
