A Federal District Court Judge in Nome, Alaska has ruled this unconstitutional.

Yea. But 500 million? Not even close to fixing a multi trillion dollar problem. Thats 0.00139%. It’s nothing.

One day at a time.

That is how successful folks accomplish “the impossible”.

It’s close to 1% of the defense budget.
Well, 0.7% if I round up from rounding up

It’s nothing.

You're right, it's nothing. Because we can't solve our multi trillion dollar problem all at once, there's no point in even getting started. /sarc

This is how you do it. The department heads announce it with specifics. Keep Elon in the basement doing great work.

I like having Pete do this on a video. Sure, it’s cheesy. But, the long game requires our good guys to “win the hearts and minds” of the citizenry. These PR clips here and elsewhere, are useful in that regard.
