Yeah he’s so afraid of black he’s putting the global economy in the red.
Looking for a new job in this bumblefuck, tyrant-lite economy is not fun. The market is flooded with qualified candidates who were fired for no reason, and every company is afraid the president will make ink illegal in the coming month because it’s black.

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitors—an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.

I think the red-hat Murka-pocket-square bozos revealed with recent actions that there ARE no state secrets. Bunch of asshats.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
