How to eliminate the federal income tax - an experiment in collective AI use

 Welcome

this is an experiment in policy exploration at scale (many readers) using chatGPT as a rudimentary but fast researcher and calculator,

Disclaimer: Yes, yes, yes. There are many flaws to this investigation. First, the investigator (me) has questionable credentials (no PhD, oh my, only an MBA in International Finance and 50+ years in banking, corporate finance, and startup business management). Second, chatGPT is hardly a reliable failproof assistant. Third, like any policy proposal, it depends on the political perspective. Fourth, the devil is always in the details and one of those PhDs can find enough to sink this ship.  

Presuming you have nothing better to do, join me into the rabbit hole.

A New Normal Is Coming

Reprint from X. 

This is a great assessment of how and why our world may finally change. Perhaps the Silent Majority has finally confronted the cost of the American Cultural Revolution we tolerated for years and called Woke

 Trump, His Disrupters, and a Chance to Return to Normalcy?

Many of Trump first-round picks share some common themes. One, many, who were in the past victimized by government bullies and cowardly bureaucratic grandees, or proved sharp critics of the administrative state, are now, in karma-style, in charge of the very agencies that hounded him.

I am garbage

I like to think I am not too old to learn a new strategy. So, I paid close attention and asked myself why would someone hope to convince a voter to possibly change sides by suggesting they are garbage? 

You can tell I AM GARBAGE and was not likely to become a turncoat, but still, why go on TV and call Gen Z's stupid, why call Hispanic and Black men mysoginist? 

The only reason I can fathom is an incredible level of arrogance, a belief so great of one's moral superiority, a claim to one's superior intelligence and education that divides "us the morally superior" from "them the garbage". 

That line of thinking started in 2015 with Hillary's claim that all "the college-educated" were on her side. Oops, not all were then, but from her loss, she and her ilk learned nothing. So Kamala served word salads to the same crowd with a few insults for spice. Even the college-educated found the salads lacking and went for garbage.

Deliverance

Best said by Jeffrey Tucker of Brownstone Institute (reprint)

My biggest shock this morning is discovering that the system still works. I almost can't believe it. I was on the verge of thinking that the entirety of what we call democracy was fake. What happened last night was real, and achieved through the system itself. 

Is this how revolution occurs in Western industrial democracies? That's the theory and we might be seeing the reality now. 

Corruption is This Election's October Surprise

Check out this interview.

To be sure, neither Tucker Carlson nor Harmit Dillon are disinterested impartial observers. Carlson is well known to be a Trump supporter and Dillon has run for Chair of the RNC.

However, an attorney like Dillon may be presumed to have ample proof of her claims as a defense from a defamation suit. Both Dillon and Carlson seem to be truly offended by the extent of reported corruption. You be the judge in preparation for voting

The Age of Fear, Anxiety, Climate Fraud

 In 1987 Micheal Crichton published "State of Fear" an interesting novel that contained in appendix the best bibliography available at that time to non-scientist. It predicted the state of mind of most of society in the US today and how private interests and the mainstream media were intent in shaping collective beliefs.

Today Michael Shellenberger demonstrates that we have in fact fallen into the hands of those private interests, not because they had evil intents but simply because they ignorantly believed "the most heard" and gradually most of us came to drink the same cool-aid.  It is not too late for a little education.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqcDyHdbYd4&ab_channel=TheTelegraph

And for the data-focused/minded reader, check the data and the charts that debunk what we hear.  It is free education   https://environmentalprogress.org/the-case-against-environmental-alarmism?utm_source=pocket_saves and the good news is that even the activist "average" forecast does not warrant the hysteria of the "extreme" forecasts that are much advertised because hysteria sells media.

The Club of Rome

Beware. It has been identified repeatedly over 50 years. This started longer than you've been alive

"Now humanity is inexorably threatened by humanity itself." Climate con man extraordinaire, John Kerry, is upset that millions around the world are awakening to the #ClimateScam, going on to paraphrase an infamous quote by the Club of Rome (from their 1991 book, 'The First Global Revolution'): "The need for enemies seems to be a common historical factor. States have striven to overcome domestic failure and internal contradictions by designating external enemies. The scapegoat practice is as old as mankind itself. When things become too difficult at home, divert attention by adventure abroad.
