So all companies in the US or that benefit from US infrastructure around the world, military, diplomacy, etc.? I’m behind it. But don’t limit it to express budget line items. Maybe better, instead do a flat min tax of all business entities?

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

When you think of the core of American politics as a large collection of individuals who have enough social, political, and financial capital to speak up against despotism but don't wanna spend that capital because they're hoping someone else will, it all really starts to make sense.

I want one that, as I walk out of my house to my work on a Euro-style pedestrian friendly street (not where I live or most of the US), I can just pop in for coffee and a sausage roll in the morning. Plus, let's be honest. The same food hits different in a different country.

This makes me sad that the US does not (to my knowledge) have any equivalent to the sausage roll. Love getting those when I find myself in the UK.
