    Was thinking yesterday about some of the low-hanging fruit a governmental trifecta on the right could deliver to spam they got the average person “wins” while they deliver the real goods, ultrawealthy and corporate tax relief, and destruction of regulatory bodies and laws.

    This was the first thing that came to mind, the second was trump will propose is getting rid of coins or even paper money and moving to crypto, one of course that he and his friends are already stocked up on.

      The elite would not let the crypto move happen. That would explode the economy.

      Getting rid of DST

      Another round of individual stimulus

      Ban gas sales taxes

      Ban all gun regulation

      Create a jobs program for able bodied homeless people. (It’s the farms, they’re going to need replacements for the people they deport)

      Send the IRS online tax program wide so everyone can use it.

      I’d rather have permanent daylight saving here in SoCal, but in Arizona permanent standard time is great.

      It’s something Marco Rubio has been pushing for years and he was nominated for a cabinet position, so I guess he gets rewarded with this

      Tomorrow: “Trump champions the metric system.”

      Damn, these brain worms walking around in bloated corpses might be the best administration ever.

    Canada has had a law on the books to end it for years now; the one outstanding condition was getting USA to go along with it.

      Which personally I don’t see why.

      Saskatchewan and Yukon already don’t do it, why. It other provinces? It’s a literal hour on the clock, not a life and death situation.

    “one of the only countries in the world”?

    Most of Europe, New Zealand, most of Canada, some of Australia, Chile & Egypt all observe DST of some form. Strange opening spin to the article.

    But I agree it needs to be got rid of.
