The US is once more saved from the commie tyranny of checks notes living in the future.

I'm so fucking tired of "saving taxpayer money".

Honestly, give up on the US. You know China will overtake it in a few decades. Get ready to move.

A few decades? By what metric has China not already overtaken the US? They have better quality of lives, more industrial output, a more advanced military, a higher population, a more competent and moral government. The only thing China doesn't beat the US in is things like prison population, and imperialist control over other nations. And the on paper GDP numbers which for America are mostly just financialized bullshit and landlordism.
