Tariffs = a gift to K Street & a tax on Main Street. 📈 Tariff lobbying up 496% in a year (1,550% since pre-Trump) 💸 $288.5B in tariff taxes paid by Americans 🏭 72k manufacturing jobs lost Protectionism serves the swamp




SpaceX’s Starship is already one of the biggest flying objects ever built and it’s still getting bigger • With Starship 4, total size could grow ~10–20% • Raptor thrust jumps ~20%, nearing 9,000 tons at sea level • Enough to send 200+ tons to useful orbit • Fully & rapidly reusable - no expendable rockets And then comes the rapid scale-up “With 50 Starships flying every 3 days on average, that’s over a megaton of payload to orbit every year - enough to start building a self-sustaining city on Mars” - Elon Musk
