Nothing new. This is Musk’s ancestry and inspiration at work - Technocracy, which his grandfather was involved in. Good story on CBC about it - his grandfather was a Canadian. Technocracy is anti government, which helps to explain Musk.

Capitalism is on its last legs.

We don’t even need to file, the IRS knows exactly what we made and what we owe or they owe us.

How does its tail shower us every October but it only passes here on its orbit once every 75 years?

Intuit’s going to try suing the US government for lost profits I bet if this sticks around next year and doesn’t mysteriously vanish over stability issues...
