Watch as radicalized tech billionaires and authoritarian governments openly plot a post-democracy, post-USA crypto future.
The Network State is an extremist tech cult based on the work of Curtis Yarvin. It calls for a program of "tech zionism."

Lettuce tastes great on your #July4 burger or salad. Harvesting it is an extremely difficult job because of the constant bending down and use of sharp tools. As we enjoy our holiday BBQs, let's remember the farm workers who make this meal possible. #WeFeedYou

So won't the birthright ruling today only encourage presidents to copy Trump and do everything by executive order rather than go through boring rule-makings that can be blocked under the APA?

$5000 “baby bonus” to encourage women to have more babies? Come on. That won’t even cover the cost of childbirth.

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday.
Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.
