You are in better shape than most. People in the cities will be toast.
Yet what he's doing must be done. So many people whining about him don't want to discuss the debt, let alone have a plan to deal with it.
Is there food you can procue ypurself? Are you close to food production? Do you know people who are producing more food than they can consume? Do you even have emergency supplies if there is a crisis?
That's ridiculous. The Bible isn't mesnt to be a comprehensive ledger of the stuff on earth.
What's happening now has to happen now or it won't happen at all and the govt will collapse in a default. That outcome will be far worse for everyone than this. As it is, there isn't a single govt worker or elected official who gives a shit about efficiency. This is textbook end-stage democracy where everyone grabs whatever benies they can until the system breaks. If that happens, we'll get a real tyrant like Stalin. He'll be a Democrat and will make Trump look like Santa Claus.
Where would you get your food if it suddenly became scarce or unaffordable?
🙄 It doesn't mean he doesn't make mistakes. It does mean that very little of what he's doing affects anyone except govt employees.
The mind flaying on Elon is crazy to watch. What he's doing has zero effect on honest people. Only the grifters are impacted.
My favorite is crappy quality images of absolutely everything they release. Wires and blend edits are are to see when the image is low-res.
Most people are content to focus on their material comforts and day to day activities. Being curious is disruptive and possibly disturbing. Look at how people react when you tell them their money isn't real. That simple statement leads to cognitive failure. While it's sort of humorous to watch, it's also sad.
The problem is that kids have a hard time with self-control. Accessing a device that is loaded up with dopamine traps and not actually launching those programs is part of what creates anxiety. They know things are being said, and they can't handle being so close and not getting their fix. It's similar to addiction. It's better that they use computers that have specific programs. Interestingly, since most kids don't access their social networks on computers, they have a different view of their use cases.
You don't have to have kids to have an opinion on this. You just have to decide whether you want kids to become people who can do more than work at a Starbucks. It's pretty straight-forward. Personally, I would recommend people not send their kids to govt schools at all. Whatever damage occurs as a result isn't fair to the kids.
I am saying that phones are terrible for teens. We know that screen time is detrimental to brain development and attention span. Social media increases anxiety and dopamine levels. This isn't about my morality. It's about responsible adults not allowing something harmful in the very environment where it can do the most damage.
Schools have rules for a reason. Or should they just allow every kind of disruption because of govt? Should we let people whose brains aren't fully developed make the rules?
No you don't. You require that phones are off during the school day. If they are caught using them they have consequences. My kid has never had his accessible during the school day ever. It is locked.
Also, there isn't a kid in America paying for the phone. Teens shouldn't presume to have privacy with something that doesn't belong to them.
