Elon Musk would be on Kamala Harris’ cabinet, amongst a coalition of rivals. Because the most important thing to do with power is give it to the people you say are ideologically opposed to you. This is why they’re throwing the election to Trump as the most efficient application of this methodology

They’re more than willing to put pressure on the left leaning members, and work against their reelection. They just won’t do it to anyone who’s pushing for neoliberalism or for achieving anything they use to get elected. Manchin basically ran the party for a while and now he’s a republican.

So heavily propagandized to love capitalism that people keep recognizing it’s the problem then try to resolve that dissonance by making up a specific type of capitalism that’s bad, rather than the whole.

Hey don’t forget about the various long term effects of Covid infection we still don’t fully understand! Who cares if everyone contracts a flu that causes brain damage, they don’t need those brains to work!

There's a nail salon in the strip mall with the grocery store I go to that has usually has a Cybertruck parked outside. No branding decals, but I'm sure it ain't one of the nail techs driving that thing.

Yeah. I doubt most people would turn down a direct sequel, but anyone aware of the drama around ZA/UM and DE is probably not expecting anything more than some spiritual successors.

ill give you credit for having at least read some of the silmarillion (or maybe watched that amazon show? do they cover that?), but know this is done begrudgingly and I do not condone this behavior

i doubt any of them have plans or means to secure IP rights to DE or its setting, so I don't think you have worry about any direct sequels.
