Eliminate States

What efficiencies would we gain if we halved the number of states,
cities, counties, school districts in America? Get rid of the ones
that are not creating economic opportunities for their residents.
Fewer regulations. Lower taxes. Better states take the lead. Bad
states die.

Not married to this. If it isn't working we have to start questioning
our assumptions. It is fine for the administration to be loaded with
brilliant people. Are they too smart to act? They are playing with the
knobs on a hugely complicated macro pin ball game. You know the kind?
Lights flashing, sounds whirring and magnets under the particle board
pulling your ball to the traps. When do you walk away if it doesn't
feel right? What would we gain if we redesigned? Can we win if we
don't?

Don't let the US media families pull you towards revolution in Iran
taking your focus away from the one needed here. Have we lost the
ability to call shit shit and great great? God won't bless an America
not willing to help itself. Are you on your feet or on your knees?
