Yet space x is literally about to change that with it's heavy lifter soon (couple years) via funding of star link and satellite lift business. Go private sector with seed money made from papal fiat money.

Just noting that we can't change anything while congress isn't funding the CIA and military. Paying folks does not equal fuel and munitions cost and we shouldn't dare use reserves that can last months or years in an invasion or operation that might use everything up in weeks.

This is a quality post sir! wish I had bits to give you but it seems alby has cleaned me out.

Has anyone noticed that what the democrats are trying to do to help out the economy is spending a trillion more on healthcare extending the now expired COVID healthcare emergency spending that was originally a measure to bail out the failing Obamacare mandates? Has anyone realized that this spending has had the effect of raising healthcare prices. ** I mean there is a certain logic ** to giving insurance companies money to prop up the economy but I don't know if it will efficiently create jobs or lower my cost of health care.

People who want to increase the power of the state and bureaucracy are like "hold my beer lets see if we can shut this down to cause enough chaos to..." and with the forced lowering of taxes/tariffs by Scotus impending, those 401k's are going to inflate with the money supply . Until the bubble collapses because they are all investing in each other circulating revenue to juice the numbers when the only people making real money are the Chip makers, the hard drive makers, the ram makers, and the utilizes supplying the electrons. Mean while, have you looked at the Jobs market. Any other indicator besides the cooked books of the feds is real interesting. I really can't decide if Trump is doing the best he can, using the power of the bully pulpit to migate this or is playing right into the hands of the bad guys.
