I seriously hope nobody in power finds out my family has been here for thousands of years.

I used to think the government was hiding evidence of alien UFO encounters to prevent widespread panic. Now I think they’re using general UFO encounters as a cover for weapons testing.

To be fair, in Musk’s fantasy Mars is the easier planet to live on.

The vast majority of people would make as much money as they could. Quickly, the economy implodes. People soon realize they can exchange their matter replicator for eggs. A new billionaire class arises, using their millions of matter replicators to make basic necessities for the worker class. The modern assembly line is now just row upon row upon row of matter replicators. One man per warehouse, just moving from matter replicator to matter replicator.

A few smarter people used their matter replicators to make more matter replicators. Lobbyists quickly pass “safety regulations”, and these “black market” replicators are outlawed. Soon local police start advertising “amnesty”, where you can bring in your illegal matter replicator and exchange it, no questions asked, for a gun.

A few unlucky people used their matter replicators to make drugs. The purity of replicated drugs quickly renders these people unable to continue using their replicators. These replicators are collected by next-of-kin, stolen by the people that exchanged their own replicator for eggs, or accidentally destroyed.

But that’s the most appealing part.

This is just the Republican/libertarian fantasy. So many people I worked with at the time thought we should have taken all the Iraqi oil after we invaded.

Aren’t the rights in the Bill of Rights granted by God? I seem to remember hearing that a lot during discussions on the 2nd amendment. The rights are granted by God, and the Bill of rights just says the government isn’t allowed to take them away. I hope you can see where I’m going with this.

It would be interesting to know who Waltz thought he was adding to the group.

Several Republican state congressmen have filled a lawsuit against the ‘new’ voting laws in Michigan. Due to a public initiative, we have universal registration, no-excuse absentee voting, and a non-partisan redistricting committee to draw congressional districts.

Republicans are mad about all those things, and are arguing that the public initiative took away the state legislature’s sole right to make election laws.
