Goal post is always 10 yards down the field.
If you develop a mindset, "If I just do this or just accomplish that THEN I'll arrive," you're in for trouble.
There is no arriving. The human brain didn't evolve for it. Enjoy the process. Be where you are. Surround yourself wisely.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.
We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.
RFK Jr leading HHS is a disgrace.

JPM/BofA/Citi/Goldman, WalMart, Ford/GM, ExxonMobil/Chevron, UPS/FedEx, etc. These companies aren't better off, even w/ lower taxes, if the US economy & polity, & the global economy, implode. They thrive precisely because of democracy, globalization, & international cooperation. And they know this.

One legal issue with “Musk takes the checkbook” is that it seems like several Musk lackeys (or Musk himself) will be exercising substantial authority pursuant to public law. That’s unconstitutional, as they weren’t appointed consistent with the appointments clause or other applicable law
Could any President say "I don't want their DHS with a head requiring confirmation I'm going to create my OWN DHS and I'm going to say the appointee who runs it requires no confirmation!!!! But also I need all the data and files from old DHS and any employee who signs a loyalty oath can come over"
