Worked as an aircraft mechanic and automotive tech for several decades. Been playing guitar for a long time but not so much any more. I make them instead. Got a little house in flyover country and life is good.

That would possibly be true if the bugs were not constantly mutating. But, like the flu virus, covid is constantly changing. In addition to that sometimes the immunity we gain from a vaccine wanes over time requiring boosters.

We need AC to move power long distances from solar and wind farms to where we use it. Without transformers to step up the voltage the resistive loses from high current would drastically reduce system efficiency. Just ask Tesla.

The SCOTUS makes bribery legal and we need a constitutional amendment to reverse that? This is just a way to demonstrate who will defend the corruption. A more direct approach would be to retake the court. No way that amendment becomes part of the constitution.
