Just a guy. Opinions are my own and all that.
Saturday afternoon: Liver specialist who's treating my father-in-law reviews lab results and tells family to get him to ER at Georgetown hospital immediately.

Saturday 3pm: check at Georgetown ER. See a tech within the first hour to take blood and record vitals. Sent back to ER waiting room.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.

The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.

This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going:

If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes?

And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?

If it feels like Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to destroy our country from within, that’s because it is exactly what they are fucking doing.

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?
Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.

I think we are all searching in vain for evidence that Donald Trump or Elon Musk are serving America rather than other interests.

Their anger at USAID sounds like ventriloquism from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. It makes no sense whatsoever to anyone who actually loves this country and its values.

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server.
