Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists.

Just ignore POTUS and all executive orders until such time as the legality has been verified and court ordered.
Do not obey in advance.
Let them lean on the court for accountability in order that they may be held accountable through the same means.

Isolationism risks stagnation: Japan’s Sakoku stalled innovation; Qing China’s Haijin policies weakened global influence. Modern examples (e.g., N. Korea) show economic decline & diplomatic marginalization. Short-term stability often yields long-term vulnerability, forcing eventual reintegration.

Had a chat with Deepseek about the future of microprocessors utilizing collaborations of emerging sciences and theories in quantum computers, nueromorphics, MATBG Josephsons junctions, &et. It's pretty cool to be able to review its thought process. Really helps with narrowing down the hallucination.

And THIS is why 70 million (or more) voters DON’T VOTE.
Because it doesn’t take a rocket scientist or economist to know that the system is rigged… and knowing the system is rigged is the biggest single voter engagement killer you can possibly imagine.
Why vote when nothing changes?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
