Yeah, it's a mess. And the tech- billionaires all lined up there in a row ready willing and schmoozing like business as usual.

I kinda liked that "External Revenue Service" Decoration from PDJT's Inauguration Speech! That'll be something to look forward to as well.

When Ronald Reagan tried to decrease the federal government and increase efficiency (Grace Commission) not only did he fail to do that, he increased the debt from the billions to the trillions: https://open.substack.com/pub/lizlasorte/p/before-there-was-doge-there-was-ronald?utm_source=app-post-stats-page&r=76q58&utm_medium=ios

Who was it that said, "The more corrupt the society, the more numerous the laws"? It's certainly true!

Make a regulation = make a business. Ayn Rand warned us - the sanction of the victim - "If you give the impression to your oppressor that you accept, or even approve of his oppression of you, things will get worse. You will make him into a monster and yourself into a slave." What is the point of working/innovating when four-months of the year you're working for the monsters? Fuck it!
