Has anybody here read Hillbilly Elegy?

It’s a pretty good read.

I agree that Trump himself is too lazy and disorganized to get much done, which is a relief. It’s the other people around him that scare me more. As a South African, Musk can never be President but as Trump’s chief financial backer and owner of one of the world’s largest media platforms, this is as close as he’ll ever get to calling some of the shots. RFK Jr. believes vaccines cause autism and will be the next Secretary of Health. There won’t be a Department of Education if Trump keeps his promise. Hopefully that will be the worst of it. There won’t be an abortion ban. Immigration won’t change, neither party really wants to change it, it’s just useful rhetoric for the campaign trail.
