Musk said because of Medicaid and Social Security older people live longer. He can't have that.

On the other hand, trump is destroying a vicious rabid version of capitalism by demonstrating his utter lack of humanity.

He will hopefully drag the entire dregs of the Dred Scott party to hell with him.

"...decrease the surplus population..." - Ebenezer Scrooge (and the fake "Christians" writing or supporting Project 2025)

But unlike "A Christmas Carol" it won't end well if the people don't stand up to the billionaires of today.

They’re lobotomizing the country as well as looting it.

Holy shit. Worked at NHGRI 4y, Dr. Collins (we got to call him Francis in that setting) came to every lab meeting trainee in his lab gave. Casual clothes and Harley boots. Worked for office of the director 4y (one boss below him.) Was always in full formal suit.

I can't wrap my mind around this.

This isn't rats jumping ship. This is the former captain for many years and discoveries (The Human Genome Project was an epic undertaking, a moonshot that hit the moon) walking away from the dock as he watches the deeply beloved ship from afar.
