Believer in the idea of America. Immigration is our superpower. Cities built for people are safe, beautiful and prosperous. Not official record.

The next frontier is addressing the public health scourge that is automobile dependence. Automobiles are the #1 source of:.- Blunt force trauma injuries and premature disability and death. Crash injuries outnumber gun injuries (in children) 24:1. For all ages that ratio is 30:1.
I just enacted the most game-changing housing reforms in recent California history. We're urgently embracing an abundance agenda by tearing down the barriers that have delayed new affordable housing and infrastructure for decades. Let’s get building, California.

The Speaker of the House, representing the party that holds the executive, house and senate, the power of the purse and can fund FEMA and NOAA offers “thoughts and prayers” as they burn the country to the ground. @MikeJohnson.
Mike Johnson on Texas floods: "In a moment like this, we feel just as helpless as everyone else does . all we know to do at this moment is pray."

This is officially a gold abundance account now. Gold is *useful.* It’s an amazing metal that has many practical applications. Abundant gold could be as transformative as on demand abundant water. Let’s go get that asteroid!.
This much gold would just make gold worthless.

Make the commons great again. We used to have beautiful, glorious, gorgeous common areas. Town squares, train stations, hotel lobbies, parks and gardens. Now they are just something to walk by on the way to the front door.
Recognize a suburban society by the aggrandizement of private spaces and the degradation of their public space. Urbane societies have grand public spaces.
