Re <<His cabinet is of people who gamed the system to riches
highly doubtful they have mea culpa now when absolute power corrupts absolutely.>>

... prospectively better than game of thrones and such, and if played out per history teachings, including the old testament and similar scriptures, would be highly instructional as a refresher course

whatever happens, great start to 48 months

Re <<I see where you're going wrt space and agree ...>>

... and earlier pondering <<to effectively tee-up space-based guarantee to earthly peace, am guessing one needs some fundamentals that be as independent as practicable from earth-based resources

- navigation & communication
- basing (power, repairs, storage, recycling, etc)
- capability and capacity to kinetically affect outcomes, ala reaching out and touching anybody
>>

pulsar navigation is independent of earth-based assets scienceworldreport.com

quantum communication would be secure, especially if applied space-to-space as opposed to space-to-earth atimes.com

moon as observation point scmp.com

game on popularmechanics.com

cue the poopoo-ers europe.newsweek.com

some taking no chances rbth.com

others confused arstechnica.co.uk

however it should be a lot easier to get from moon to mars rather than from earth to same, if the power of the moon can be tapped telegraph.co.uk

much more interesting to watch trump on the topic over the first 100 days scientificamerican.com than any mundane and usual

cue the wanna-be strategists css.ethz.ch

even as they busy themselves on the same same old stuffing css.ethz.ch

america is going to have to amp-up serious spending even as washington ponders nuclear upgrade, just when costs devolve from barely affordable to unaffordable asia.nikkei.com

and everything must be tried, but do not recommend one to wait for peer review synopsis sciencealert.com

the next 15 years should be very interesting, and expensive, especially if all try to do on own as opposed to cooperate

but, alas, one nation is unwilling to play cooperative, for the usual suspect reasons popularmechanics.com

whilst another looks to hack ... a place far far away ... for data edition.cnn.com

... and of course, long distance hard endurance space travel shall require a different sort of humans, that which can only arise out of permission-ing to work on the issues entailed cnbc.com , and so another race is already full-on

all efforts require numbers, lots and lots of numbers, and ideally all inclusive as opposed to exclusionary, and really can only be carried out by continental economies thinking big thoughts and doing big acts

the next 100 days would be telling, and the game is not about interest rates and such exceedingly mundane stuffing, imo

and should trump actually do a tril here and another tril there on old and tired nuke power meme and go inward protocol, he and his lot must be left alone and not interrupted, as far as america's strategic competitors would be concerned

15 years from now, we would look back and would not even remember anything about another quarter point raise per alleged 'squeeze' strategy and it would not matter why navarro managed to undo or do

the wrong premise that china is somehow dependent on outside actors is not only faulty, but potentially highly damaging to believers of such premise

and am suggesting perhaps brazil would be the wrong vantage point even though it is continental in size but not exactly civilisation-state

am suggesting to think big, especially when it comes to china, and think high risk, but also think what ought to be commensurate w/ high risk

i am refraining from making the mistake of poopoo naysayers, because the cost of being wrong would be unfathomably high

trump's border tax regime is just a variation of tired beggar-thy-neighbor devaluation in drag, and when tee-ed up would make the next 15 years very expensive, but not so intolerable in yuan terms, because the yuan is cheap and can go cheaper, and cheaper again, as long as the middle class is growing

so, am guessing that even if trump is interested in second term, he would not be able to secure such due the the mess he shall create during term 1
