I would give up my Social Security...if they would take away all the taxes on my assets...including estate taxes. And I said this probably a decade before bitcoin existed. Of course, if that didn't work, I wanted to see Social Security privatized. And why can't these folks see Bitcoin's risk profile if holding more than 3 years? Play conservative and say 10 years - get rid of the treasuries and buy bitcoin - and "save" Social Security. But those funds CANNOT leave the trust or be allocated to other spending like it is now.

The main thing I'm not a fan of right now...is the push for government to take equity stakes in private companies. Everything else - at this point - I'm watching but willing to defer judgment...including surges in large cities to reduce crime. And is he looking for skeletons in everyone's closet that opposes him - and accelerating to get control of the FED - yes. In that case, I wish he would just move to EndTheFed. Regarding others, like Bolton, do it. But then take it across the finish line in regard to prosecutions, or get them to turn to get to the bigger fish (Clintons, Obamas...possibly Bushs...Fauci & Company, Gates, other J6 and RussiaGate participants, etc).

Buy bitcoin - and don't eat the cat food.

Relevant - and again, this piece does NOT oppose ethnic diversity...but merit and acceptance of what should REMAIN a sense of American exceptionalism should be prerequisite. ==== if you were playing pickup basketball against a team who had one player that kept tripping you, kicking you in the groin, and throwing elbows to the face and the rest of his team kept saying “no foul! no foul! play on!” and piling on you if you disagreed, how long are you going to want these people on your court? at what point are they as complicit as the dirty player they cover for? high-trust society is a powerful but fragile thing, hard won and easily undermined by those who would take advantage of it. it feels to me like we’re reaching a tipping point where either groups assimilate and accede to actual golden rule american exceptionalism, or the americans are going to start calling the fouls whether those committing them care or not and will turn on them in earnest as being outside the social contract and no longer afforded its protection. calling anyone who values high trust civilization “racist” and “xenophobic” has played out as a tactic. it’s over now and a high functioning society of high agency people going into self-preservation mode is a helluva thing. the nature of the free societies of moral people is ultimately this: POLICE YOURSELF OR GET READY TO GET POLICED BY OTHERS. HARD. ====
