John, I don't believe I have ever heard of Don espouse artificial wombs as I have, nor, did the other Rich Man, Murdoch indicate this? I think for myself, and what I observed during Trumps' tour of duty was that the land seemed better off. No open borders (catch and release) lower inflation. He didn't trust the feckless Germans, with their love affair with Putin's nat gas, and no Afghanistan withdrawal.
What about the Wuhan flu, obviously percolated in a Chinese lab? Accidentally released before it was ready to infect Hong Kong or India, I think? But during 2021, you zapped me for advocating treatments, and not just vax shots alone, which you homed in on? We both coulda' been money-sweeter had we followed my own advice! Because Pfizer has made a ton of cash with Paxlovid(tm). It would be like me lecturing you about "No need for MSR Th232/u233 power sources John, because in a few years, we'll have Fusion in every gas station!!!" [Hard-backslap!].
You are loyal to your Party and that is commendable for me, however, I don't see Joey returning the favor to the Dem rank and file, which I used to be part of (shame on me!)? I do like his (Joey's) Inflation Reduction Act because it buys us time to get the SUV's and EV's running and the sun-wind, infrastructure, because its quicker and cheaper than anything else! Fast!
You do know to your own grumpiness, that the Greens (Democrat Voters) oppose anything nuclear? I don't, and I, after looking at some physics papers suspect that fission is the answer that we all need as a species, until fusion arrives, or deep rock geothermal gets proven, or not?
Where does this all leave us as a nation-state? Well, for me I see technology as the BIG THING to help us survive as a nation-state and as a species.
But, we are the serfs and the very wealthy fund what passes now, for the USA.
