Well... people are buying Tesla cars so that they can smash them for video exposure. The rage against Elon is getting stronger and at a wider reach. It is being intentionally generated by misinformation operators because... certain vested interests are incensed about being hampered in their right to steal everything that isn’t nailed down, and then... send out for crowbars. One might say The Spirit of Contention is doing well at present. Whaddya gonna do?

President Trump is overhauling the ways in which we collect taxes. It looks like... given the real meaning and intention of tariffs that we are now going to be taxed on what we spend and not what we earn. I have been a fan of this system all along because it is the most equitable way to do it. This is how you get the rich to pay their fair share. This is not an easy thing because the rich have an outsized influence on government policies and money is the grease that lubricates the wheels of bureaucracy.

There are people who think the most important thing you can do is to make The World fair. That’s where Communism came from, and Communism immediately turned into one of the worst offenders... of the principle of fair play... that The World has ever seen. It was a scam to steal money and accumulate power. The truth is that any system is only as good as the people who administer it, AND... usually... the people who get into that sort of thing are looking out for Number One. Most temporal conditions adhere to the concept that a law degree is a license to steal.
