No, Elon, if you theoretically teleported all the Italians to America, the place they landed wouldn't suddenly become Italy. It would just be full of angry Italians
The country of Italy is defined by its geographical location.
That's how this fucking works, you putz

An examination of more than 1,200 federal judges and state supreme court justices turned up dozens of judges who chose not to recuse when facing potential appearances of impropriety involving familial financial connections.

What did America's largest corporations do with their spoils from Trump's tax scam? Between 2017 and 2022:
-Stock buybacks jumped 98%
-Dividends increased by 40%
-Meanwhile, wages only grew by 14%
In some years these corporations paid their CEOs more than they paid in taxes.
