Notable Quotable: Aristotle On Forms Of Government
Some questions to think about:
What kind of government is serving US today?
If you think its end goal is freedom, what new freedoms are you anticipating?
If you think it’s wealth, are you starting to feel wealthier?
If you think it’s the maintenance of education and national institutions, aren’t these being dismantled?
If you think its end goal is tyranny, how does it benefit you?

Your questions have definitely stimulated my thoughts. Nothing I can express in the moment, but my mind's percolating, which is a good thing since it's been numb for a few months now.

Priority 1—wealth, just not for us.
45 has likely "earned" a couple of billion from crypto, not counting private donations for access to the presidency. We know his son-in-law was made a billionaire, thanks to Middle East "investments" into his private equity firm. I read this morning that Eric and Lil' Don have somehow amassed approximately a billion dollars between the two of them (I'm sure they worked hard for it).
There's speculation that the family and some of their close friends sold off stock options just before the initial tariff announcements and the subsequent market drop.
Priority 2—turn the nation upside down by fracturing relations with allied countries, and make America far less appealing to do business with.
Made great, once again!
