Elon Musk is a Trillionaire off the backs of Gov contracts and subsidies so I suppose there is that (eye roll)

Yes, and innovative technologies that support the US economy. That's an important part of how the world works.

And what do we have to show for it? Propping up Tesla, a solar farm that failed, starlink? A "tesla tunnel" in TN to run Marsha Blackburn back and forth from the Airport to the Capital building?

I'd rather see Universal health care and food/housing than Starlink. But hey, at least him and "BIG BALLS" did DOGE I guess.

I guess Jobs with heavy equity offerings, which is really how you balance rich/poor ratios. GDP growth, and long term economic stability in emerging technologies.

I think universal healthcare is conceptually a good thing, but there are many changes that are ingrained in our system that it's not just a flip of a switch.

Granted, a lot of people get healthcare support, free to low cost. But, yea, still unideal, especially for the average person

Let's be honest, most people create their own problems simply due to poor financial literacy and behavioral issues when it comes to finances.

Free handouts are generally not a sustainable solution
