America desperately needs a Milei. But unfortunately I believe the current cycle is towards much more collectivism. Americans will need to suffer a great deal more before they become sick and tired of collectivist delusions brought about by “Saviours” like Obama, Trump, RFK...

Ron Paul was America’s potential Milei. But he was WAY ahead of his time. I think the curent collective unconscious in America is seeking another authoritarian like FDR. Not a Milei. Argentina currently operates in a different cycle. Maybe America will have its Milei in a generation or two.

What you describe when a federal agency is forced to cut some portion of its budget in order for saving to occur is called "The Washington Monument Gambit". The Department of the Interior tells all of its various agencies to cut some % of "fat, corruption, waste and duplication".

The director of the National Parks Service, who should start by furloughing employees in the D.C. office and regional offices around the nation that employ thousand of bureaucrats, not one of whom knows how to produce a damn thing!!!

Instead, the Director will call a press conference and announce dourly that here to for, unless and until the NPS gets proper "funding", all national parks, monuments and all other places open to the public will be closed until further notice. Keep in mind, that most of these "Parks" and "Monuments" are revenue GENERATORS by way of the fees that they impose.

Sad thing is, it always works.

By now most Americans have heard the infamous World Economic Forum phrase “You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy.” But how do global elites and central bankers intend to roll out this diabolical scheme? Well, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) mapped it out in their recently published report on a proposed “unified ledger” called, “Blueprint for the future monetary system: improving the old, enabling the new.”

In simple terms, the BIS’ blueprint proposes that all private property in the real world, such as money, houses, cars, etc., would be “tokenized” into digital assets within an “everything in one place” global unified ledger. CBDCs would be “core to the functioning” of this tokenized world and serve as the reserve currency on the unified ledger. Transactions between CBDCs and tokenized assets, which represent real-world assets, would operate seamlessly through smart contracts, on one programmable platform.

Each token representing a real-world asset in this digital space would contain a large amount of data received from the real world in real time about what it is, who it belongs to, etc., as well as rules on how that particular asset can and cannot be used. The BIS explains how these rules are set up by “directly embedding supervisory features into the token itself, which can be tailored to specific rules.”

The main takeaway of this BIS blueprint is that whatever happens in their dystopian digital world, has legally binding impacts on assets in the real world. So, maybe the WEF’s catch phrase should be “You may own digital tokens, but we will control the real assets.”

The Leviathan DEEP STATE must feed itself:

While the American people are too "dumb-down" to recognize they have lost, by default, their inheritance. Not unlike Esau trading his inheritance for a bowl of beans.

My humble recommendation is to prepare for a hot civil war.

Milei is a clown, sadly in the same vein as Turdo an' Zelensky--all "act-teurs".... Sure he started with some nice libertarian rhetoric but he's a WEF "Infiltrate Ze Cabinets" darlin' goin' back in full reverse on most've what he'd promised--not holdin' my breath here:

Sadly he's a fool in foolscap... I think we'd all had a bit more hope...

Thus n' sich I prefer Edna St. Vincent "Millay"
