New President

We have a new president. And I do believe what Robert Reich recently said is true--that Trump's second time as president will finally open the eyes of the American people on how far the government has come from serving the people.

At the end of Trump's four years, the government and our society will be in shambles. It may take hitting bottom before we as a country become committed to a new direction.

One quick example of something that does not bode well for our future is a list of companies and individuals who gave over $1million toward Trump's inaugural committee:

--Ripple    $5 million

--Amazon    $2 million

--Sam Altman (OpenAI)    $1 million

--Tim Cook (Apple)    $1 million

--Ford Motor    $1 million

--Google    $1 million

--Intuit    $1 million

--Dara Khrosroushahi (Uber)    $1 million

--Meta    $1 million

--Microsoft     $1 million

--Toyota     $1 million

--Uber    $1 million

Trump Again

Soon President-elect Trump will be President Trump. I have been wrong before, but I predict the floodgates of chaos will be unleashed. He will be less constrained this time around, and it will show, and it will show in the lives of average Americans.

American politics were quite horrid until recently, but I think Trump will take us to a new level of horrible.

About Trump

Recently MAGA experienced the beginning of what could be a civil war within its camp. It may just be a tempest in a modern-day teapot, but I don't think so.

It involves a battle between the traditional MAGA supporters and the newer Trump supporters, the tech titans. The latter is for immigration for those technically-skilled and the former see these new supporters caring only about their tech businesses, not legitimate die-hard immigration foes.

Well, Trump has tried to referee these two squabbling factions. Trump said he sides with the tech bros. I will keep an eye on this brewing brouhaha and report back.
