Notice how Elon Musk is prioritizing the government withholding money from researching pediatric cancer instead of paying for his exploding rockets?
Not a failing of humanity, decency, or a conflict of interest at all.

Getting defense contractors paid. Wasting tax dollars. Literally the opposite of whatever Musk was pretending to do. This has always been about diverting tax dollars from the social safety net to Trump's friends. Our taxes will not go down. I hope the news mentions that at some point.

The biggest lie our corporate oligarchs keep repeating is high taxes stifle wages and innovation, but nothing could be further from the truth. High taxes *encourage* investment in R&D and people.

Do folks getting worked up over this proposed amendment to allow a 3rd term for Trump realize what it takes to actually amend the Constitution? They can't because if they did they'd realized there's 0% chance this happens. Dude who proposed it's just sucking up to Trump to kill an FBI investigation.
