Thoughts on Politics

I love the straight-faced, matter-of-fact tone of this article, which points out the ridiculous statements Musk made in this interview.

Play stupid games and _your children_ win stupid prizes. Keep playing, and many others will too.

Elon Musk couldn’t be doing the things he’s doing without Trump giving him the agency and authority, and Trump couldn’t enable those things without Congress being complicit. We need to hang these actions on the people we elected. The fault belongs to Trump and to Congress.

What an embarrassment. It’s going to be a long four years. Let’s hope we can repair the damage when it’s over.

I keep hearing that the election wasn’t a landslide, because the popular vote was close. It was a landslide in the only way that matters. We have to figure out how to win the game that’s actually being played, instead of consoling ourselves with results that just don’t matter.
