@NTDPlus_ Choice D: Stop for now and see what Iran’s conditions are and concessions are. If we need to take action after the election, that option is on the table.
@mayemusk Can you pretty please put me in contact just once with Elon.After that he can block me if he likes. I have some important things to say. Better yet I could pass this message along through you, minimizing the risk to him. Well?
Okay I researched it. The idea: cut 6 cents from every projected dollar the federal government spends, each year for five years. Year one spending would be 94% of the current path, then another 6% cut each year until the budget balances around year five. After that, spending could grow with revenue. He says no tax hikes.
It is a budget resolution idea, not enacted law. Critics say a 6% cut on the whole budget is politically unrealistic because so much spending is Social Security, Medicare, defense, and interest. Supporters say that’s the point: force Congress to find waste instead of raising taxes.
OR. We can keep paying the 40 trillion dollar credit card of debt. And watch it grow. You can not print more money, because that causes inflation and prices are high the way it is.
In my opinion the debt is unsustainable. Full stop. Cut six cents of every tax dollar across the board. If we end up with 1 less aircraft carrier, cut into medicare so be it.
Let the big cities go bankrupt with their debt. Do not let the USA as a nation go bankrupt as well.
Rand Pauk is right. The question is, does he have a big enough microphone to communicate this message.
@elonmusk ELON, it doesn't matter who wins in the AI race, we all lose in the end. A few men hold the fate of their worlds in their hands, or did. We can not put this genie back in the bottle.
@XFreeze Can Elon's Boring company make a transportation tunnel by passing the strait of Hormuz? IMO, this should be said to Iran as it will add some pressure to get a favorable deal from them.
Seize Iran’s oil and use the proceeds to pay for damage Iran has caused to other nations. Oil rights would return once a peace settlement is in place.
If necessary, create a U.S. foreign legion and arm the Kurds and the people of Iran with rifles so they can protect themselves. That would be the boots on the ground.
@elonmusk Only 62,000 arrested for free speech? What is going on in jolly old England.That number is not a meme. It is the minimum count from police data.
@papasaggs@MarioNawfal I agree it like won't drop to $40 any time soon. EVs keep winning on running cost and keep getting cheaper to build. So never is the wrong word to use. There comes a point where it just does not make economic sense for oil at current prices and EV s the way to go.
@zeroguerre@nonconformant1@MarioNawfal 20% or 30%, the people who live there will vote to succeed in October. Loosening the oil laws Canada would be wise to do. They need to treat their cash cow right. OR don't and watch that amount who want out grow.
@zeroguerre@nonconformant1@MarioNawfal I’m really curious to see how they vote for in October. If they shun Canada, the high-tax politicians and socialists will suddenly start making nice. Their cash cow is on the line.
@PoolsMcPools@MarioNawfal Companies and investors make up their own minds with bid to drill. Drilling is expensive upfront. The long-term case still holds when the resource lasts decades with low operating costs after the well is in the ground.
