Preface: I voted for Biden in 2020.
Despite the absurd claims of the far left media, five days into the new administration, I am very happy with the policy progress being made.
Racist rules requiring hiring to be done according to discriminatory racial quotas have been overturned. Now everyone has a fair shot at getting government jobs or contracts.… read more “Five days in”
Do you want American businesses to use ethnic minority slave labor? Or to have small children work 16 hours a day 7 days a week? I definitely do not. Yet everyday both you and I buy goods that were produced in countries that do exactly that. The majority of goods in our homes were produced by slaves and children in China and in many other countries.… read more “Tariffs”

LA ran out of water to fight the fire at a critical time. The issue was that it does not make sense to build a fresh water system capable of running hundreds of fire hydrants all at the same time.
Solution: set up an emergency system that can pump ocean or lake water up into the city mains.… read more “Proposal for future city firestorms”
