People’s Convoy massing in Maryland getting read to head into DC tomorrow-
Some background first.
Wretchard introduced an Elon Musk tweet to this video with the comment:
Some ideologies see ‘no people’ as the most humanitarian outcome.
Naturally such a line caught my attention.
This was how Musk introduced the video:
Pretty good summary, although national pride is underweighted relative to economics. Latter serves former, not other way around.
The foundational issue imo, which this video doesn’t ignore, is low birth rate. After all, what good is land with no people?
This video definitely fits with my following of history and, if true, fills in more than one blank. Definitely worth a half hour at normal speed, or at least 18 minutes at 175%. As for the death toll potential of the conflict, I see no world leader opposed to a large body count.
From the article: ”
According to the report, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg providing financing that allowed the Center for Tech and Civic Life to offer nearly $9 million in “Zuck Bucks” to Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, Kenosha and Green Bay counties. In exchange, the “Zuckerberg 5,” as the report called the counties, in effect, operated Democratic get-out-the-vote efforts. Those grant funds then paid for illegal drop boxes to be placed in Democratic voting strongholds.
The illegal use of drop boxes represented a second area of concern to the special counsel’s office. The report notes state election code limits the manner in which ballots may be cast, providing that an elector must personally mail or deliver his or her ballot to the municipal clerk, except where the law authorizes an agent to act on the behalf of the voter.”
Illegal, but stuff all will be done about it
