~~The year is 2025. The American house and senate are both Republican, and Donald Trump is in office. Tik Tok has been banned. Meta, Google, and Reddit are facing regulations that will restrict freedom of publishing political speech on their platforms. Still nobody cares about LinkedIn. Twitter is the favored platform of the party of Trump and requires all users to verify using their real identity with government ID and acceptance of liability for speech that violates the platforms standards for harm as judged by their own internal panel. Kanye is the Secretary of Commerce. Joe Rogan is Secretary of Education. Elon is hailed as an industrial hero of the MAGA movement and has been given a new role with responsibility for innovation in the DHS, Energy, and the Space Force. America is reducing defense spending and redirecting hundreds of billions of dollars into equipment for mining the moon and for terraforming Mars. The companies receiving the contracts for this are co-invested by Elon and Kushner.~~

Not saying this will happen, but given all the #### we've seen in recent years I don't know if anyone would actually still be really shocked to find this is where our timeline is headed.
