"Remember in 1979 when Iran took hostages"
Got it. So we're justifying wars based on decades or centuries old grievances now? Should we settle the Crusades next? History is context, not a perpetual permission slip for war.
First they buy the local business. Then they centralize operations. Then they move production overseas for cheaper labor. Then they claim it's necessary to keep prices affordable, all while increasing profit margins. The cycle helps create the affordability problem it claims to solve.
If living constitutionalism is a neutral theory, why does it so often seem to operate like a one way ratchet?

Somewhere along the way the script flipped. The people are supposed to be the boss — not the help. But in gov, unions, and everywhere else, too many leaders start acting like the members exist to serve them. That’s not representation. That’s power forgetting where it came from!
Jefferson warned about concentrated financial power:
“Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.”
He believed economic power could quietly shape political power.

We can send $40B to help Argentina’s economy… but somehow can’t afford to keep American farmers afloat while they’re going bankrupt across the Midwest. How do we save everyone except the people who feed our own country? America First maybe!
My biggest Flex is realizing that the left/right narrative we all grew up with was a psy-op designed to train us to think in a binary way! Designed to stop us from seeing the answers usually stand in the middle of compromise and common sense!
