@Microinteracti1 Yeaaah it's much better to host it in another country that has to spend billions of dollars and slave labor constructing stadiums and infrastructure that will never get used again!
@libsoftiktok What power does a judge have in saying what restrictions the government can put on how a government "handout' is used? They could just remove the whole program from the budget altogether.
elon could solve world hunger literally this second
all he has to do is full stack dump all his shares, cause a stock market recession, wipe out trillions, delete tens of thousands of jobs, and then he'll be able to fund the federal government for about 18 minutes
I don't mind living in a society that allows a man who employs more than 110,000 people, pioneered electric cars, and whose rockets we take to the moon, to be the world's first trillionaire.
@bourscheid Net worth doesn't equal liquid Cash. That trillion is unrealized stock in his companies. If he liquidated that much cash, the stock dump would crash the share price, wipe out employees' retirements, and trigger massive layoffs. You can't spend or tax phantom value.
Let me explain why I think Freddy resonates.
Lots of Europeans visit the USA as tourists. They visit New York City, or Washington DC, or Hollywood, or Las Vegas, and if they visit natural beauty too, they go to really crowded places like the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone.
So while they see our cultural and natural icons, they are mostly in blue cities and they therefore also see the decline, the homeless, the drugs, the dirt and the rude, rude Americans.
But Freddy is not doing that. Freddy is driving, and he’s doing it through the heartland, where people are kind and polite, the skies are wide open, and the bounty of Buc-ees and Bass Pro Shops are overwhelming.
Freddy is not seeing fentanyl and decline.
He is seeing the real, hopeful, patriotic, kind America that European tourists rarely traverse.
And he loves it.
That’s why Freddy is a phenomenon.
