Just a guess, the mailing address probably specifies which state's rules its under. Police enforcement might be interesting though.

“Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) began recruiting “high-IQ small-government revolutionaries” willing to work 80+ hours per week with no pay to help slash federal spending.

Future headline : “Department of Government Efficiency still completely without staff as those meeting the high requirements to take the job are smart enough to have zero interest in doing the job under those conditions"

Alternate future headline: "Department of Government Efficiency plagued by yet another scandal as its 45th employee is charged with fraud for attempting to personally gain financially from fraud they were perpetrating in the government".

I was thinking something like this where you can be TOTALLY INSIDE ONE SMALL BUILDING and be in two different cities/states.

The left side of gas station (QuickTrip) is Kansas City, Kansas. The right side of the gas station is Kansas City, Missouri. So cross state lines going from the chip aisle to the soda refrigerators.

They could have lived in a city that straddles a state boundary. Crossing to a different city/state could be done measured a matter of meters/yards.

Trump is also planning to increase exports

Every country wants to have more exports. Its not up to a leader of the country directly. You can't force exports to occur. You have to convince someone from another country to buy something from your country. The exception to this is if you have things other countries want to buy, but you don't want them to have them (like spaceflight, military goods, or high technology).

A nation's leader can build mechanisms with other countries that can help convince them to buy such as free trade agreements, etc. However, thats the exact opposite of what trump is doing. Trump wants to put tariffs on imports, thats the opposite of free trade and makes other countries not want to buy from you.

From trump's talk before the election, I don't think they foresee there will be a 2028 election.

There is a whole youtube rabbit hole you can go down showing videos of miniature versions of larger (larger caliber) guns. The smallest I saw was "replica" Civil War Navy revolver that the whole gun was about 6cm long. It was a functional gun that had a powder charge with a projectile.

If you're talking about actually scaling, like a CAD drawing, then no.

If you're talking most of the appearance and function, then yes! There is a scale model of a Browning M2 machine gun (which normally fires 50 cal ammo) that fires 22lr instead. It will set you back about $20,000.

"First they came for the Oligarchs and I did not speak out - because I was not an Oligarch, and really because wage inequality is the core problem facing our society so coming for the Oligarchs seemed like a pretty good idea to me."

Trump’s longstanding advisers, who view Musk as overly assertive and self-promoting.

Sounds like "trumps longstanding advisors" are worried they did all this work to get trump in power to use him are seeing musk come in and begin to use trump instead of them.

Thats part of the social contract. Its crappy that that person was abusing it.

In the USA at least, the mandate was dropped by Supreme Court decision.
