@rahmemanuel.bsky.social this was a great read and right on point. The present administration is all about the “look” and “size” of their soldiers and weapon systems instead of lethality, accuracy and cost. If you can’t place bets on it, they don’t want it. Graft and greed kills nations.

Serious question here, is anyone running scenarios on people’s 401K accounts for 1. Civil Unrest/War 2. Complete collapse of Democracy 3. 3 more years of Trump 4. Military takeover and return to democracy 5. Things settle down and make a turn for the better (seems less likely every day)

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.
