Meanwhile Elons second company SpaceX is doing quite well with government contracts and starlink I assume?

A problem I see with these collapse predictions is that they see the US as existing in a vacuum. There are external forces interested in the united states future.

• China
• Europe
• Russia
• Japan & South Korea (yes I think they have quite some influence)

From these Europe and Japan & South Korea are interested in keeping the American state stable enough as a counterbalance to the other 2. Russia is interested in Trumps and his likes stay viewing his effect on NATO, China likes Trump not as much, as the tariffs hurt the worlds biggest export nation the most.

I would go as far as saying Russia needs the Trumpian united states as a counterbalance to China as well. As Chinas economic scale and population still dwarf the Russian one.

East Asia and India in general will depend on the US as a Petrol state in the future, supplying vital fossil fuel imports for plastic- and chemical industries.

These external power centers are the deciding factors should the US become unstable.

why am I always tired at the wrong time?

me after pressing HALT key in bus, but bus driver ignores me, so I drive to next station while complaining

Where you crying while driving? I would … or at least gulp down some spit on regular interwals

All religions does what you describe so replace “Christian” with “Religios people/Theists” in your text … maybe Mongol paganism (Tengrism) is less influenced by these contradictions? Idk.

Is that giant round stone face supposed to represent an ancient stoic warrior? 🗿 Now it does.

okay I will only torrent .txt ascii-encoded files then and open them in nano, this will make me totally secure.

… And open all other files I download in a sandboxed-environment

Occupy or liberate? I would say liberate, right?

I think it is okay, when otherwise this would be just a bland text-only post, and the image is small/ not attention grabbing.

movies, music and pdfs/ebooks should be “okay” to pirate though, since they are more read than executable programs, right …

Good point with the army corps of Engineers, did not know they have this much influence on federal infrastructure in the states and are under the presidents command.

If he dies and JD-Vance replaces him do you expect any improvements?

I think these moves are planned, calculated even.

• California wants independence? Oops you have no water and agriculture anymore … your fault for voting democrat.
• Testing the integrity of the system. Experts who speak up? Who will stop him? Checks and balances?

remind me in 4 years … I doubt there will be a revolution. And JD-vance is eager to replace Trump as leader in charge, if potus dies.

Everyone is allowed to do anything as they please

This means checks- ans balances are a lie? Where are these systems that characterize democracy in times of need?

How can a president in a democratic country order a dam opening, and this is left unchallenged by knowledgeable experts affected by the dam and stake holders? There seems a deep flaw in the system when it comes to the singular power of the US-president?

Trump started it, now is not the time to think how this is bad. You need to choose a side and act accordingly with countermeasures, which will likely escalate further.
