With all ramping up of the attempts to steal state voter roles (ie ICE will leave if you hand over voter rolls), actually stealing 2020 ballots from Georgia, and calling to nationalize the election it's almost like they knew this was coming. Weird.

    Having that debt played a big part in the US gaining the soft power that it used to have. Long term I'm not sure we'd even want to eliminate that debt but maybe target to keep it near the inflation rate.

    Basically "if you owe the bank a dollar you have a problem. If you owe the bank a billion dollars the bank has a problem" but extended out to international scale. If your roi depended on the US being sound and successful you'll take steps to ensure that outcome.

    Wayyy more than crypto currency. There are definitely arguments to be made about how much value llms create and whether or not they are good for our society long-term. What's hard to argue is that they produce less value than crypto which at best fails to deliver on their goals of divesting from banking institutions (financial institutions and government agencies currently hold the largest stakes) and at worst serve as an ideal platform for criminal enterprises and political bribery.

    That really only applies if it's difficult for the immigrants to become citizens (ie undocumented) or if their immigration status is tied to their employment (ie h1b) that artificially drive down the value of their labor. The current setup is basically indentured servitude with extra steps.
