if you ever wonder how Americans became the richest major country on the planet but most of us still feel so poor, looking at what we spend on cars — not just directly but in tax money for infrastructure and space in the built environment — is the answer.

1. Regular readers know I used to talk a lot about conservatism, fascism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism – all those multi-syllabic schools of thought that attempt to explain politics in America today. But I don't talk about them in depth these days. I have come to a conclusion.

You know, ordinarily I’d say centrally planned economies are a bad idea. But what if — and hear me out, here — what if we switched to a centrally planned system, except there was only only one planner, and he was a corrupt, senile, 80-year-old man who had driven multiple businesses into the ground?

The problem is that the US media and political establishments are filled with the kind of person who thinks he's clever for screaming at a minimum wage desk clerk until he gets a room upgrade. Trump is their ideal.

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.
