America has always been a nation of builders. But somewhere along the way, we forgot how to build. It’s time to reclaim that legacy. #BuildAgain #EconomicGrowth

The U.S. built the interstate highway system in under 40 years. Today, it takes 10+ years to build a single transmission line. This isn’t progress—it’s paralysis. #SmartRegulation #USInfrastructure

Every delayed housing project, every stalled transmission line, every blocked factory—this is costing Americans real money. We don’t need more studies. We need action. #EconomicGrowth #HousingCrisis

Infrastructure shouldn’t be a political debate. Both parties have failed to fix America’s building problem. It’s time to stop talking and start executing. #PolicyMatters #BuildAgain

Nuclear power is the cleanest, most reliable energy source we have—so why is it nearly impossible to build? Outdated safety regulations are holding back our future. #EnergyFuture #TechLeadership

Why does it take 4+ years to get an infrastructure project approved? America’s permitting system is broken. If we want to compete globally, we need to cut the red tape. #SmartRegulation #BuildAgain

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

We used to lead in manufacturing. Now, China dominates batteries, semiconductors, and critical materials. If we want economic and national security, we need to rebuild our industrial base. #IndustrialRevival #TechLeadership

Why They Are Lying About Gas Prices. I follow reposters! youtu.be/iTPxCW5iCX4?...

America’s power grid is falling behind. AI, EVs, and data centers will drive electricity demand up 15% in the next five years. If we don’t expand infrastructure, get ready for higher costs and blackouts. #EnergyFuture #SmartRegulation

The U.S. is short 5 million homes. Skyrocketing rents and home prices aren’t an accident—they’re the result of restrictive zoning and permitting delays. Want affordable housing? Start building. #HousingCrisis #PolicyMatters

America’s biggest economic challenge? It’s not AI, inflation, or even trade wars. It’s our failure to build. Housing, energy, and industry are all gridlocked by outdated policies. It’s time to fix that. #BuildAgain #EconomicGrowth

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offer a scalable, cost-effective solution for developing nations facing energy shortages. Their modular design enables phased deployment, reducing financial risks while ensuring reliable power. #SmallModularReactors #CleanEnergy buff.ly/tTSwBvb

The BOOD model shifts SMR operational risks to vendors, allowing emerging economies to access nuclear energy without massive upfront investment. Could this reshape global energy markets? #NuclearEnergy #EnergyInnovation buff.ly/tTSwBvb

SMRs are more than just electricity—they support desalination, hydrogen production, and industrial heat applications. A 300 MWe SMR can produce 50,000 cubic meters of freshwater daily. #SustainablePower #FutureOfEnergy buff.ly/tTSwBvb

China, Russia, and the U.S. are racing to dominate the SMR export market. Will developing nations benefit or become energy-dependent on foreign vendors? #GlobalEnergySecurity #EmergingMarkets buff.ly/tTSwBvb

With high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel demand set to grow 25x by 2035, will supply chains keep up with SMR expansion? Scaling enrichment capacity is the next big challenge. #ModularTechnology #RenewableIntegration buff.ly/tTSwBvb

"There’ll be a little disturbance, but we’re okay with that. It won’t be much." this from the man who said COVID would be over in two weeks and we should inject bleach. If you aren't planning for a very bumpy road ahead, you will be caught with your pants down. #Trumpcession #Tariffs #Economy

HSB 217 eliminates seniority in layoffs, making experienced teachers prime targets for termination. This isn’t reform—it’s systemic age discrimination disguised as policy. #IowaEducationCrisis #NoToHSB217 open.substack.com/pub/michaelk...

Iowa’s HSB 217 is not about merit—it’s a financial weapon to cut costs by forcing out experienced teachers. This bill undermines public education, weakens mentorship, and disrupts student learning. #ProtectTeachers #StopTeacherLayoffs open.substack.com/pub/michaelk...

This is performative nonsense of “hardcore” tech nincompoops. They could put people in nearby hotels or Airbnbs for a lot less. It’s all cosplaying intense workaholism for the cheap seats and all for PR. Sleeping bags at work is simply dumb www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

on feb. 28 FAA gave spacex permission to fly Starship again despite SpaceX not having completed a mishap investigation into its jan. Starship explosion — maybe it’s worth figuring out what went wrong & how to mitigate that before flying again? www.cnbc.com/2025/02/28/f...

Texas and Iowa are at the forefront of the anti-vaccine movement, but this is just the beginning. How will the 2025 elections shape this fight? #GOPVaccineSkepticism #VaccineLegislation buff.ly/fiSspr4

Biotech leaders warn that vaccine bans could drive medical innovation out of key states. Will this backfire economically? #MedicalFreedom #PublicHealthPolicy buff.ly/fiSspr4

From Florida to Utah, Republican-led states are pushing to ban mRNA vaccines. Is this the future of American healthcare? #mRNABan #PoliticalPolarization buff.ly/fiSspr4

Public health experts warn that anti-vaccine legislation will accelerate disease outbreaks. Are we ignoring history? #PublicHealthCrisis #VaccineLegislation buff.ly/fiSspr4

Whatever Trump and Republicans in Congress say Here are the facts—The GOP budget goals mean they’re going to slash Medicaid or Medicare. And all to give tax cuts to their billionaires’ club. Democrats will never stop fighting for Medicaid and Medicare. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 proposes curtailing CDC authority over vaccines. How far will this go? #MedicalFreedom #GOPVaccineSkepticism buff.ly/fiSspr4

Texas Republicans now sponsor 81% of anti-vaccine bills—a dramatic reversal from pre-2020 trends. What changed? #TexasPolitics #PublicHealthPolicy buff.ly/fiSspr4

100% They’re coming for you. No matter who YOU are.

Exactly this.

President Trump’s alliance with vaccine skeptics is shaping state policies. Could federal mandates be next? #PoliticalPolarization #AntiVaccineMovement buff.ly/fiSspr4

Over 20 anti-vaccine bills have been introduced in Texas alone this year. A political shift or a public health disaster in the making? #GOPVaccineSkepticism #MedicalFreedom buff.ly/fiSspr4

Iowa’s latest bill proposes fines for administering mRNA vaccines. Is this the beginning of criminalizing modern medicine? #PublicHealthCrisis #mRNABan buff.ly/fiSspr4

Texas and Iowa are leading a new wave of anti-vaccine legislation, with mRNA bans and mandates under attack. What does this mean for public health? #VaccineLegislation #TexasPolitics buff.ly/fiSspr4

There is a major movement on the right. Read my take. #AntiVaccine #PublicHealth #Vaccine #mRNA #CovidVaccine #Measles #Texas #Iowa open.substack.com/pub/michaelk...

If these factions prevail, we risk a fragmented society where individual freedoms are sacrificed for power. A unified, democratic approach is essential for a sustainable future. #futurism

HF 712 isn’t about safety—it’s about creating unnecessary barriers to vaccines. Removing legal protections will raise costs, reduce supply, and hurt patients. Lawmakers should reject this harmful bill. #ProtectIowa #MedicalLiability buff.ly/MXI819C

Vaccines save lives, but HF 712 could make them harder to get in Iowa. If manufacturers pull out, families may need to travel out of state for routine immunizations. This is unacceptable. #HealthcareRights #PublicHealthCrisis buff.ly/MXI819C

By conflicting with federal law, HF 712 exposes Iowa to costly legal battles while disrupting healthcare access. Lawmakers should focus on real solutions, not reckless policies. #LegalChallenges #VaccineAccess buff.ly/MXI819C

HF 712 undermines decades of vaccine safety progress. If passed, Iowa could see reduced vaccine availability, higher disease outbreaks, and legal chaos. This is bad policy. #IowaLegislation #HealthPolicy buff.ly/MXI819C

Iowa House File 712 threatens vaccine access by forcing manufacturers to waive legal protections. This could drive life-saving immunizations out of the state, putting public health at risk. Lawmakers must vote NO. #ProtectVaccines #PublicHealth

Iowa’s Senate File 360 proposes an outright ban on administering gene-based vaccines including those based on messenger RNA (mRNA) and DNA technology. This is today’s Republican Party. open.substack.com/pub/michaelk... #vaccines #science

Call it by its name: Trumpcession.

This isn’t just about COVID. mRNA tech is revolutionizing medicine—cancer vaccines, flu shots, and even autoimmune treatments. SF 360 bans progress. This isn’t freedom—it’s government overreach on healthcare. Say NO. #ProtectPublicHealth #StopSF360 buff.ly/MEVGLH6

Iowa should be leading in biotech, not banning it. mRNA vaccines are the future of medicine—from fighting cancer to treating rare diseases. SF 360 would block access, harm public health, and drive medical talent out of the state. #MedicalBreakthroughs #TrustScience buff.ly/MEVGLH6

mRNA vaccines are proven safe and effective. They do NOT alter DNA. They do NOT cause infertility. They DO prevent disease, hospitalizations, and death. SF 360 ignores decades of research and puts lives at risk. #PublicHealthMatters #StopSF360 buff.ly/MEVGLH6
