Her time in the Senate felt more like a stunt to push her own brand and future prospects than any impetus towards public service. I'm not even speaking to the merits of the project, maybe the developers could return and make a better pitch to the town but putting her as the face I bet for at least a few people was instantly suspicious.

Curious though why her answer to the question of what's in it for the town is not quoted in the article, really keen to hear what her pitch to the mayor was (I assume it was tons of money and skirting around their concerns)

We are already seeing the signs of post-Trump MAGA civil war starting to creep up. Trump turning against MTG is kicking up a bit of a storm, they can all tell the old man has a foot out the door.

You've got the Bannon wing versus the Technocratic Vance wing along with the Groypers on the rise and the MTG conspiratorial post-Q MAGA crowd along with the old school Heritage/Federalist and a few others.

These conservative groups have a lot of conflicting beliefs, what has held them together is a unified support of Trump, without him those old disagreements are bubbling up again. The thing about Trump that screws them is Trump himself does not give a shit about the party or any of these groups, he has no succession plan and is not an actual party leader. He could give two shits what happens after he's gone, not his problem, just say nice things at his funeral.

Which are your top five SF books?

They just released Doom: The Dark Ages this year.

Ford can build that kind of car. They can't get batteries that cheap.

That is the argument Milton Friedman made.

Sounds like you know what the problem is. Think of it like the DeBeers diamond cartel on steroids.

Then the subsidies will start again until those new companies disappear.

The USA is able to develop batteries. China has taken control of the lithium pipeline, the same way they've taken control of the rare earths pipeline (through poor environmental and anticompetitive practices). The CCP doesn't care if they poison their own people.

Dumping means selling below the value.

You are wrong because you don't care what is true. You are a liar. You don't want to participate in conversation, you only want to spread your lies.

50-90% estate tax plus alternative minimum tax of 40% for all income over say $100 million

If she was born lower or middle class she's still be going to Stanford and still able to sell this genius idea because America is absolutely a meritocracy and we don't believe in dynasties. Right?

For the same reason people in the US complain about the lack of public transportation. We don't want to use public transportation ourselves,

we want other people to use it so the roads will be clear. https://psmag.com/economics/wh...

How do you compete fairly against a country that uses slave labor and no environment controls?

It's amazing how much your words sound like a Soviet apparatchik. You're not interested in truth, you don't care about that.

If your idea of style is "expensive = style" then you have no style. His watch would be indistinguishable from a $10k watch without close inspection.
