Remember what Musk did to the ideologues of Twitter? You are witnessing Musk’s attack mode, and I hope it continues into other governmental agencies. Military, SSA, welfare and especially immigration. Get involved and study, remove the surplus hangers-on, up to 90% of them, streamline the operation and collect revenue. That is Musk.

One cautionary note though. Can the USA keep its population employed? The Depression was caused by doing people out of work, sharecroppers for example, without a back up plan to re-employ them. They all went to the cities, and stood in breadlines. It took WW2 ten years later to finally get the 25% surplus back to work. With “Muskian” treatment will the laid off folks have an economic home to retreat to, other that flipping burgers. Protection of the workplace is important here, we do not need to Hoover ourself into another catastrophe.

I think of the oil and pipeline workers in the Dakotas that were promised new and exciting jobs in the renewable energy sector, that never happened.

1. Rumor has it that many government workers have a second job.

2. Can we keep people employed? At this point no. We have to figure that out. Maybe "bringing back manufacturing" is an answer. IDK.

3. Lots of people have health issues now. We have a lot of excess deaths we did not have before, and those are people of working age.

"3. Lots of people have health issues now. We have a lot of excess deaths we did not have before, and those are people of working age." ~ shibumi

Yes, excess deaths remain well above the statistical long term yearly average. In addition, according to Ed Dowd, in Cause Unknown, vaccine disabled - no longer able to work - number about 3.5 million. Out of a labor force of 168 million, that's right at 2%.

Next time you're at an event with 100 people, look around, and see if you can spot the two people who can no longer work or provide for their families, because their lives have been ruined by the "vaccine".

Trump will employ Americans, even those who’ve been sitting on the sidelines while collecting a government check.

He’ll do this by threatening tariffs, then settle for foreign corporations setting up manufacturing plants in the US and hiring American workers.

If AI can do a job, fire the person. Great way to cut costs. Let the people die under bridges. Prosperity! You will own nothing and you will be happy. Capitalism can get us there just as Communism can. Go west to get to the East. Still with me? No, right?
