I'll give him Afghanistan as he organized the withdrawal... but we saw how big a fuckup that was, so bravo for ending that war after 20 years, but proves he has no idea what he's doing.

People forget that popular comedians are usually incredibly intelligent. Conan graduated MCL from Harvard.

Honestly I upgrade every few years and isually have to purchase a new mobo anyhow. I do think this could lead to less options for mobos though.

Wouldn't that be 400 million? (400bil x 99.99%) Still a lot, and I could retire happily off that much for sure.

Yeah, his income level puts him on the "petty fine" tier.

My luck I'd be reincarnated as a water bear just in time to be shot to the moon... where I'll eventually crash.

Which then get used to buy Spacex and Tesla merch.

Honestly I feel all news and social messenging services would be better served if they were forced to be public owned.

So Musk is cementing himself as the modern Joseph Goebbels now?

I'm just saying, the Pentagon seems a place where people might get lost...

Uranium mine. We're gonna need reactors.

1950s were also heavily unionized. Unions have declined by 80% since then, and "right to work" laws didn't exist. (Also, the 40s were when unions began to realize they should be inclusive of marginalized groups. Not due to racism, but because those groups would be more likely to scab unless included)

Worked for Rockefeller. Dude was probably richer than Musk with inflation considered, and practically threw money towards charities (admittedly, using that money to improve cost of living and wages would have been better, but the rich gotta make their hoard still)

I mean, his early life was riddled with fucked up actions (mostly carrying out orders to create Banana Republics), but it's exactly why he turned around on the government and called them out on the bullshit. There is very real evidence the plot existed, but those responsible escaped trial most likely due to Roosevelt's interference (strange how robber barons suddenly got quiet about his New Deal).

Find books written about farming/saving during ww2. Get a freezer and a canner. Stock up on beans/rice/etc (long shelf life foods). Save bones from meat, boil them for 6 hours, then let fool and strain them. Can/freeze the broth (I put mine in quart freezer bags flattened out in the freezer). One quart added to 1qt water is filled with nutes for soups and such. If you have a fireplace, keep a bag of dryer lint for kindling. Buy heirloom seeds, learn how to save seeds (Whenever I grow green beans I always have 100+ dried pods in autumn as I usually only have enough to harvest 2x with any real quantity. Each dried pod has at least 4 beans). Buy things you need now that tariffs will affect the most (electronics, coffee, etc.) Start learning how to fix things yourself, get basic tools (drill, hammers, driver sets, wrenches, etc). Fix car problems now, before parts go up. If you know ANYONE still alive now from the 30s to 40s, pick their brains on what they did. Also, get books on identifying plants. Sorrel is awesome to add to food for flavor, dandelions are a good source of Vit C... my knowledge is limited, but so far that's what I've tried (do NOT eat roots of dandelion).

He fired the head of the NLRB. Our unions are in great peril. I'm thinking it might be time to buy some red handkerchiefs.

I do not like that man Ted Cruz...

They're already gonna hurt cause homes aren't gonna make themselves, and we're deporting our construction crews...

What? From what my LA friends tell me there are still a lot of the fully automatics there.

Fun anecdote:

My friend had to take his kid to the local ER the same time as we took our kid to the childrens hospital 3 hours away. They got to the ER in 15 min. We had already been given the "don't know what's wrong" from that ER the previous week.

We arrive, get taken immediately back, get a presumed diagnosis by the nurse 10 minutes later, and a referral in 3 days to an orthopedic surgeon. We leave, call our friend to check on his kid (broken arm). Still in the waiting room. 3 hours later, still waiting.

We call again just as we are pulling in home. His kid is now getting a cast.

Unless my kid is near death, we travel 3 hours for ER trips because the local hospital is unorganized as hell (and also assumes every patient, child or not, must have a drug screen)
