i do this because by the time i get a word screen i forget what i was going to type

why we fight

trump is a facilitator. its part of the business thing. If you want to sell shoes in queens you can either go through a legal process that might last until styles change or you can call trump's girl susie who can call rudy and next day you've got the prada knock off franchise for a few blocks.
someday, trump might want something from his friends, buy some overpriced merch maybe.

we don't work like that. we didn;t pass zoning, permitting, inspection, public health laws just so you can facilitate a deal. we kinda care about these things.

our problem is we gotta get efficient enough that legitimate businesses want to do it properly, a process that conservatives will oppose in ways that would make a good book. maybe by setphen king.

do we need to integrate artificial intelligence into every process? maybe, but maybe do it without the chain saw. why are conservatives so radical!

i just want the world to proceed with an illusion, a narrative of progress. feels kinda foolish while besieged by every tribe of barbarians on the planet. and maybe beyond if miller is really a reptilian .

happy mardi .gras.
