This would assume that their goal was to bolster American manufacturing in strategic areas or something along those lines. The evidence suggests that this isn’t their goal.
What that goal might be aside from autarky is a good question.
Nope.
If we cut the military budget to zero, we’d still have a trillion dollar deficit.
25 mins of flight on a charge, and that’s not going to be at max speed , so we’ll ballpark it to 15 miles of range perhaps and that’s assuming no “traffic” or delays on landing. Not terribly practical like pretty much all of these flying car concepts.
Oh, and if anything goes wrong, you’re likely dead.
When is someone going to DO SOMETHING ABOUT ANY OF THIS?
Such as?
Democrats don’t have meaningful power at the moment due to that unfortunate last election, so they can make noise to bring attention to things, but not much that they can actually do.
People are protesting and making noise, so that’s a start, but we need more.
Sounding alarms about these sorts of things are good if they get more people pissed off so they get off their butts and start making noise themselves. No one else is going to save us.
…and yes, Dems should do more to slow down and block what they can in congress, but none of the stuff the the doggy folks are doing require legislation. I mean, what they’re doing is illegal in many ways, but nothing is going through congress to enable it. It’s more that the maladministration is just not enforcing the law when it chooses not to and if Dems had a majority in at least one wing of congress, they could at least hold hearings with some (minimal) teeth.
There’s no surplus, even with the extreme tariffs that trump is pushing. Given the economic destruction that they’re likely to cause, they’re probably a net loss for the treasury (and certainly are if one considers the damage that they’re doing to the IRS).
The reasons that the ‘sovereign wealth fund’ idea keeps coming up are:
That’s it.
We can fix this! Quick, destroy the FDA so the problem will never be seen again!
Well, didn’t hit 5%, so time to go home everyone. Many thanks to lemming6969 for letting us know so we don’t waste our time.
Oddly, the DNC’s position on the republican candidate in the circus that was the 2016 primary wasn’t likely all that influential or determinative.
trump figured out that running a political campaign as entertainment and leveraging the power of, well, just lying about everything was possible in the modern media environment. republicans had been working for decades on tilling the ground for an authoritarian that they could manage, but got themselves owned instead. Oops.
There wasn’t the public interest or unlimited cash that the Apollo program had to work with, so this was never going to realistically happen in the 80s or 90s, shuttle or not.
Given the technology, there’s no way that we’d have gotten the relatively quick sugar rush like we did for the Moon landings; it’d have been a long, very hard, and very, very expensive slog to get people there.
There’s approximately a zero percent chance that the level of public enthusiasm for such an endeavor would have supported the amount of money and effort needed to make it happen.
Heck, we even cut the Apollo program short because the public quickly got bored with it once we had the big shiny.

After all of the sketchy contracts that musk seems to be getting under this regime, the next administration should nationalize SpaceX. With their corrupt self dealing, perhaps give him a dollar or so for it.
Large Language Models are Unreliable for Cyber Threat Intelligence
There, fixed it.
His mind is already mush and in four years, it’d be a terrible Weekend at Bernie’s sequel.
Since it’s a money hole just like all of the other “AI” companies, who’s funding xAI and what are they getting out of being a slush fund for musk?
I don’t know why not being lied to in the room at the WH would be a big loss for their reporting. Maybe just investigate and cover what they’re doing and tell folks that?
I don’t think that it’s like a patent where the holder has to defend it; Oracle can decide to go after a license violation if they want to.
I’d imagine that if a real competitor or someone with deeper pockets shipped it, they’d be hearing from the throngs of lawyers that oracle keeps on staff in short order.
Sure, airlines can have whatever policies, but while not adhering to them might get you into trouble with the airline, it’s not a legal issue. The TSA doesn’t get powers from that to do anything that they weren’t allowed to do otherwise.
Now, they might lie to you to get you to give them more than they’re entitled to, but that’s a different issue.
You’re allowed to have devices with lithium batteries in checked bags.
When portable electronic devices powered by lithium batteries are in checked baggage, they must be completely powered off and protected to prevent unintentional activation or damage. Electronic devices capable of generating extreme heat, heating elements must be isolated which could cause a fire if activated, by removal of the heating element, battery or other components.
I’d rather not have it replaced with a
sovereign wealthtrump slush fundThe reason that sovereign wealth funds have cropped up recently in discussions is that trump really, really wants to have an unaccountable slush fund like his authoritarian buddies.
It makes like zero sense for a country like the US
