" Have nothing in your life you can't walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the Empire around the corner." Some old pitch art boards I did back in early 2010 brainstorming ideas for potential video games for LucasArts. I thought it might be fun to do a heist homage to HEAT #starwars #videogames

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion
Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion
Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on.
It's reverse Robin Hood.
