@rbreich Usaid is peanuts compared to the costs of the war in Iran. Usaid is a former US soft power.

I'm tired of hearing about trump & musk & the tech-bros being assholes. It's a given, they've fucked m/billions around the word. I'm tired of looking them, cause they define ugly. I'm tired of hearing about them, cause that makes them famous. What I want to talk about isn't them. I want to talk about what are we going to do if/when we get our nation back? I'm Alaskan & have a track hoe, but that's not what we need now. An Idea/plan of a future for us all. What do we need for all?

> What do we need for all?May I suggest a democracy? Real one, with, ya'know, checks and balances, with separation of powers – at least five, or better six.

@rbreich I've seen whose parties Elon Musk goes to. That still might have been preferrable.

@rbreich There's always a tweet. As if Elon had the option of cool parties though. No one is inviting him to parties. He's the guy who, when you find out he is at the party you leave.

You mean the way the old boys wrote it, I agree. Structure is fine if someone would take the time to reread the thing.
What I'm asking is what do we want that government to do. Universal health care? Universal income, a safety net controlled by people and not machines or really inhumane T/Billionaires. One thing I've learned is that Government and Business are 2 different things. Businessmen can't work in Government The same as Government workers can't work in business. Peace

There are five powers to separate and balance: Legislature, Executive, Judiciary, Wealth, and Information. And there is a sixth power underlying all – the will of the populus.
Founding Fathers knew three of above from – then recent – The Spirit of Law by Montesquieu. They had a scraps of knowledge about the Polish democracy – then dying by corruption after almost 300 years of prosperity. They knew the, Plato, Arostitele, Polibius. They knew how the Roman Imperium had fallen. Knowing all this they made the Republic and handed it to "We, the people". With a warning: "If you can keep it".

@rbreich I guess what they were efficient at is killing a comparable amount of people to the Holocaust

They even told us to watchout for trump/or the like. Even with that it worked. 2 things are bringing it down, Money & Lies with another subtle missing item. Responsibility, We The People are supposed to be responsible but Big Wealth forgot their responsibility to We The People, the poor folks that support that wealth that actually create it.

Insects, too. Like the screw worm. 🤬
