Didn't Trump already say he's not doing P2025

Your first mistake was assuming Trump was telling the truth.

About anything.

Ever.

Also they'd have to learn celsius.

No properly educated engineer is unfamiliar with metric measurements.

Tariffs punish every country, actually, unfortunately.

Including the one who started the inevitable trade war.

It takes about 2-3 months from wafer to chip.

After spending 3-4 years building the factory and even more time finding and training staff.

But, sure, tarriff the hell out of things that can't be made domestically for (optomistacally) half a decade. That'll certainly make it happen instantly...

/fucking morons.

although most countries also didn't improve as much as they should.

Its even worse than that. Literally nobody has done as much as needs to be done.

And far too many (at least in my country) seem to be saying "we are such a small drop in the ocean compared to (insert larger country here), so why should we go first?".

It's frustrating to see how badly we're fucking our children and grandchildren through laziness, denial and greed.

should keep the rest of the world entrained.

Sorry, but you guys stopped being fun to watch a while ago.

It's now gone well beyond train-wreck levels of horrified "can't look away" viewing.

I think Vance might at least be convinced to do logical things.

He's more likely to competently implement project 2025. Or at least more competently than Trump.

And that's not a good thing for anyone.

Now we can't even band together against a pandemic disease that is obviously killing people right in front of us (as opposed to the less visible to the average person ozone hole), and we sure as hell won't be able to move against climate change in any uniformed way before its much too late (as we can already see).

Now they're seeing the ideas outlined in there and probably freaking out.

As they should be.

Hopefully they'll wake up enough by mid-terms to vote for some level of damage control.

Why isn’t that benefitting the working class? These are real questions. Trump has all the wrong answers

The existance of people like Trump and Musk are the answer.

These orgs could use your donations now more than ever.

As well as your volunteer time

Not really sure what more could be done to inform people of the dangers of Project 2025

Most people werent aware of it.

And of those who had heard the name, some number of people assumed it was nothing more than yet another impotent rage document from some fringe group that was so outrageous as to be beyond the possibility of actually doing.
