Never forget that Republicans could stop all this if they wanted to.

11. The direction that Trump/Musk are forcing on the US reminds me of an old film, Elysium.

Here’s the short synopsis.

“In the year 2154, the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth. A man takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds.” (From imdb.com)

The wealthy have built an enclave where food and water are plentiful, healthcare is excellent, and the residents have complete freedom. When the wealthy residents need something from Earth, they send their armed guards to obtain it and to prevent any Earth-bound starvlings from getting to their personal paradise.

This dystopian experience may not be so far off. Fast forward to a few years from now, and Musk will have used our tax dollars to build his own space station for wealthy white people once he and Trump have destroyed the US and probably caused the rest of the world to be at war.
