Liars at least know the truth they're trying to conceal, & can still think & act from that knowledge. Bullshit Artists neither know nor care about any truth, only what they want & what they can say to get it. Their only reality is whatever they can get away with & convince others to accept.

Reckon part of it may be that if he backs off it now, that could expose him to lawsuits from people who believed him on it before & suffered harms as a result.

What even is the deal with those curtains? Does he close them when he's doing dirty deals, so the Declaration won't See? Is it a Warehouse 13 Artifact that would do Terrible Things if directly exposed to political activities the Founding Fathers would disapprove of?

You still can't count on users to read jack, yet that's no reason not to provide guidance when necessary. You can lead a horse to water but can't make them drink, yet that doesn't mean you should never bother leading a horse to water.

IMO having to provide instructions is itself a UX failure; the design should be so self-evident or automatic that no instructions are necessary. That said, this is an asymptotic ideal that may not be feasible in every situation, yet still worth aspiring to.

5) Don't buy new Docs, which are rubbish now; the Good Docs™ of the '90s & prior are still made by the same UK factory to the same standards but now branded as Solovair.

Docs in general went to shite a while back, when the trademark holder moved production to cut-rate factories, chasing profits & fast-fashion. The UK factory that made the Good Docs™ of the '90s & prior still makes them to the same high standards, just branded as Solovair now.

“OK, well trans people do exist in society, but I respect your right to your beliefs so much I’m willing to move you out of society for as long as you hold those beliefs. What? You thought we should’ve moved them out? Why? These aren’t THEIR beliefs.”

Called it:
I wonder if the game's gonna be:
1) Tariffs raise consumer prices/inflation;
2) Eliminate income/payroll taxes to "ease the burden" on consumers;
3) Tariffs insufficient, still tank/disrupt the US/world economy;
4) Convert tariffs to indirect consumption tax—e.g., nat'l VAT or sales tax & Tobin tax.

In case you're at all interested in my reasoning, I recently delved into all that in this thread:

Pretty close to Usonian, coined nearly a century ago:

With any luck, they just redacted by "highlighting" in black, leaving the original text there for anyone to find by simply removing the highlighting.

Besides which, Usonian is right there, & has been for nearly a century
