This is some of the most obvious corruption I’ve ever seen.

There is absolutely no way someone given spending authority, even if it’s illegal authority, should have business contracts with the government.

Two things are both true:

1. The federal government is full of waste that needs to be fixed
2. Congress has authority over spending and an unelected billionaire has no right to do stop federal spending

The most frustrating part of this standoff is his supporters’ unwillingness to do even the slightest bit of research.

A single Google search of “How much fentanyl was brought from Canada to the US” would have broken the facade.

But it’s too much work to verify facts that support your position 🤷‍♂️

As I’m building, sometimes things change. I can have cursor update the files for me, keeping the context up to date.

Something I found has been helpful is creating a folder of Markdown files that contain context I can give to it.

I write technical requirements and feature behavior first in the files. This has the added benefit of forcing me to define exactly what I want before building.

“No more apartments!”

“Why can’t my kids afford to live here?”

Is the big disconnect I see where I live.
