Why Elon Musk?
Why, is Elon handed the phone to talk to world leader’s, why not the VP-elect JD Vance?
Why, Elon?
Together we can Resist the Oligarcy!
Let me ask you a question? Why, would the worlds richest man “be F@#$” (his words, not mine) if Donald lost? I personally have no idea, and yes that was Elon musk that said that. But irrespective of how we got here it is pointless to lament the decisions and problems, because this is where we find ourselves. Tesla hit over 1 trillion on the stock market cap the other day, who has a nice job in the government? This is how oligarchy works. The supper rich get richer and run the government, than to get anything; you just have to talk to the UN-elected rich guy make him/her richer and hay you got what ever regulation and/or law you like.
Austin Winkelmans - Experience as a candidate
It has not all been bad, 95% of the parades have been a blast. I have actually had people cheering my name, which has to be for me on the most bizarre things for me. At first, I did not really know how to respond the first time it happened in Blane, Mn. I just wanted to hide, but there was no place to hide in the middle of a street full of people. I tried to respond after with gratitude, I just try to have fun at parades and remember that its mostly for the kids with the opportunity to get In front of a lot of people. The parade in Foley, Mn, actually gave me a chance to meet some of my relatives. As my old man tends not to interact with his family much. last, I had seen any of them I was 16 years old at a family reunion. I remember I spent most of my time skateboarding. Everyone was hanging around listening to Babe play guitar and shooting the shit.
Elon Musk, Most Dangerous man in America?
I always felt that twitter (original) was like the little green radio Hitler used Pre-WW2, it is what Donald used to amplify his Message in 2016 and yes even to start the “birth certificate” drama with Obama.
So, When Elon First acquired twitter things changed, suddenly scores of people where fired, then things began to change slowly. The feeds felt different some people felt cut off and comments began to be segregated from each other. It was an interesting period, considering scores of people were fired or quit. But still remained the ability to moderate and just oversee the number of posts and people, I believe he quickly began using AI to oversee the traffic, posts, etcetera.
The trump paradox
Here is where the Paradox gets odd, Donald J. trump can not be tried for January 6th as technically speaking so if Joe Biden where to throw Donald trump in Gitmo for treason and terrorism, Donald would never be able to clear his name as bucket two says he receives immunity for official Acts associated with his job, arguably running for office and holding rallies could be considered an official act.
cronyism in the DFL
Just before the endorsement process concluded, I was invited to the DFL convention in Duluth, MN. Sounded fun, so I registered and paid $150 to attend. Little did I know that they would just reclassify that $150 as a donation and remove me from the list of people allowed to participate in my own parties Event. So, I headed up to Duluth, only to find they did in fact remove me, and then The DFL proceeded to block by email. So, I had no recourse, but to pack it up and go home. Now I have no home among Democrats
Too much Money?
What I found most interesting about this question was the response, 78% of people the level of corruption is Unprecedented and alarming. And I for one am inclined to agree,
Austin On Labor, A story
From time to time, I like to make the joke, that I am Mike Roe without the TV show. Not really that I am anything like Mike, but rather that I have had what feels like an endless stream of jobs over the years. Being a temporary employee for 12-years, I got around seeing the good the Bad and the Ugly as well What worked and what did not in more District 06 Factory’s and construction sights. The vast majority of company’s I worked for where wonderful, but on occasion I would come across one that was entirely on the “up and up.”
VA reform?
I was told when I was hired that if someone was able to do something on their own like put on socks or shoes to let them keep that independence. In reality I would get yelled at because I was spending too much time in each room with the veterans. They were able to get themselves ready, but it took them more time…
Social Security, A hybrid system
Some want to go to a fully private solution, while others wish to keep it in the hands of the government. Both have their downfall, which made me think why don’t we move to a Hybrid system?
In the hybrid system I am envisioning, the Social Security Tax would still be implemented. However instead of the government controlling one considerable sum of money, it would open High interest CD’s or savings Accounts for each individual within the banking system.
Tyranny of the minority in the modern era
Tyranny of the minority is not just something that just occurs between the two parties in this country, to put it bluntly and in more modern terms. Tyranny of the minority occurs when the few in a group such as the republicans or Democrats weald their power to sway the outcome of our political system. For example, MAGA or DFL 06.
CCP Style Ban, tiktok
This used to be a country of freedom, now both Partys just seem to seek control over you and me. Similar to that they used to have over the American people, what we hear what we see. they are more than likely losing control. I believe the reason that TikTok is banned by the CCP is they could not control it, so they banned it.
Slava Ukraini!
At first, I was pleased with the response from my elected officials; sanctions, weapons, Aid funding, it was all good. We moved back into a cold war era stance, which was the correct move. NATO stepped up and did their job, until Putin did what he dose best. Manipulated people
The American Cyber Defense.
If America was to institute a new organization the ACD, The American Cyber Defense. This organization could act like the FBI investigating crimes that occur in the on-line realm
Solving for Smash and grabs?
because when presented with a problem it turns in my head until a solution come to mind. But I digress.
Smash and grabs,
Israel/Palestine: United Israel?
The two-state solution is fundamentally flawed, As well it could never foresee the current situation in the middle east.
Why, did i wright the 28th amendment?
I Wrote the 28th amendment – Women’s Right to Reproductive Health, in December for one simple reason. my family suffered a loss in May of 2023, our unborn child.
