Part of the solution to make the American labor force more competitive with the illegals is to reduce the costs to Americans. In particular, abolish Obama care, flatten the tax rates and greatly increase the minimum earnings before taxes kick in, and finally, reduce the cost of transportation by rolling EPA emissions and NHTSB safety regs back to the year 2000, reducing the cost of cars.
The other side of the coin is to eliminate all government benefits to illegals. It is an obscenity to have Americans taxed for benefits to illegal invaders who are working for pay under the table.
Portraying Musk as an ally in what you term "the ongoing struggle against progressive dominance" looks like an attempt at normalizing Musk's dedication to continued progressive dominance of moguls such as Musk himself.
Elon Musk is obviously committed to the climate change scam for business reasons, mainly in the push for electric vehicles as a replacement for petroleum fueled vehicles. Any feud between Trump and Musk looks suspiciously like a kind of Kabuki theater show. A feud between these two leaves me without a side to support.
That’s an excellent breakdown of the entire episode. I think sadly, the government in its current form cannot be fixed because of the underlying issues you describe here. The machine has too many competing interests and the time it takes to correct things that are not working or harmful to the citizen too long to endure.
the musk / trump breakup just shows the cumbersome nature of a system with too many interests competing for the same resources.

Thanks, Roger!
"The broader challenge involves implementing economic patriotism within a political system designed to serve global capital."
And perhaps even broader would be trying to do ANYTHING good for the common man within a political system designed to serve global capital.
I never subscribe on a paid basis based on a single post, but I'll be watching your stack very closely Mr. Leary.
Thanks, Tim!

Insightful and skillfully written. Thank you. Some of us do read!

Great piece!
Thanks Aaron.
Where there is no solution, there is no problem.
