I have no idea what the future holds for DOGE's and Trumps actions here. My guess is that the deep state and the old guard will not go quietly into the night or into irrelevance. I think this is basically the real life version of Game of Thrones and the idea of fighting fair, clean, or honorable are out of the door. Won't be surprised if things get more nasty and with no light at the end of the tunnel.
The title of one of Aaron Clarey's books is apt here "Enjoy The Decline". Maybe the most rational thing you can do is find a way to make money off all of this.
Would I like things to improve in socioeconomic terms in the USA? Yes. However, I have a lot of doubts that is still possible. I think the last great opportunity to course correct was back in the Obama administration, but I think he and many other political officials waved that opportunity away...maybe even smiled while doing so. In general, I expect no less from political mercenaries. I also blame the oligarchs who pretty much run this clown show.

Didn’t you used to say Musk was a con artist?
Are you saying the system is so corrupt that even a hukster like Ellen is an improvement or are you know trying to be on the “winning team”?
Yes, the system is so corrupt and dysfunctional that even Elon is an improvement.
