Use it to make a minerals deal with Ukraine, in lieu of the US. That would discredit Trump, and allow for a lasting trade relationship long after the war is over.

Personally, I am starting to think a nation should have 'internal' and 'external' currencies. The latter is for engaging in trade between nations and corporations. The internal currency is just to optimize the supply and demand of things between citizens, corporations, and the government, but the income is fixed. This theoretically would prevent inflation, since income doesn't change for even the most wealthiest members of society.
By doing it this way, the internal currency can have different rules and values from the exterior. What I have in mind is a 'wealth band' of sorts, using Universal Ranked Income to make income fixed for a job class. There can be absolute caps on wealth, at $100k for income, savings, and assets. Something like the following:
I think economic reforms have to be also given the Constitution treatment. A lot of this bullshit came about because wealthy people couldn't help but engage in Gluttony, regardless of the true cost and consequences. Elon simply wasn't satisfied with his 'meagre' level of wealth, and is arranging to murder the poor for the sake of running up a high score.
We need the wealthy, as we know them, to simply cease to exist, while giving UBI to everyone so that even the poorest can skip work to engage in politics. Too much or too little money is dangerous, because it rigs society to favor the very few.
Without economic changes, this crap will simply happen again.
It is because he is an Everyman. People who have lived among the ordinary folk, is much more likely to understand the world as it actually is. Dipshits like Trump and Elon never had to deal with bills or consequences, just the difficult decision of which supermodel to pork on a given day.
Here's hoping that the Free States of America gets a Zelensky.
The democracy we knew. Whether there is a new one, depends on us.
Serious question: Has the person with the nuke codes have an independent security detail, and isn't beholden to any president?
I approve. As an American, I have been trying to swap my savings for Euros, because it feels like that the American Dollar will hyperinflate. However, I have a concern:
Musk is likely to try to install a Muskcoin and create a X Everything app, so that he can control the money of Americans. The EU will need to offer Euro banking services in the Blue States to oppose the establishment of Muskcoin. Also, blacklist American billionaires from European fiscal institutions, such as not accepting the swap of Musk's dollars for Euros or EU properties.
Gotham is Florida?
Prefer him to be on a collision course with that Tesla he launched into orbit. Two birds, one rocket.
It would be nice if a Luigi cosplayer was a guest star. He just walks out onto the studio floor, and glares at Musk. I bet the rat would piss himself on the spot.
I would like a new set of Founding Fathers (and Mothers) to write up an improved Constitution.
I wouldn't mind a big field of (good) Democratic candidates. Sanders, AOC, Crockett, Walz, they can all campaign. They can mutually have have their rivals as VP picks, and Sanders can have a public contract where the VP can remove him from office, if his age makes him mentally unfit for office.
What I would like to see, is a dynasty of (genuinely) progressive candidates of at least 24+ years. Sanders/Jasmine --> Jasmine/AOC --> AOC/???.
The Geronocrats and Republicans had the opportunity to show their worth, and have been found wanting. It is time for some new blood that truly cares about the wellbeing of Americans and the globe.
