I don't think it's powerless. Elon has a rather large megaphone and Vivek also has a good deal of influence. When they shine the light on an issue, if people are fired up about it, public pressure could actually be brought to bear in a positive and potentially powerful way. That's the outcome I'm hoping for. I dobtry to tame my optimism when it comes to change with politics, because often the promise far and away supercedes the delivery. Time will tell. It's the 2nd most watched change potential for me.

It's absolutely disgusting that we are enabling child trafficking. I'm with you on this one.

Can you add Libertarian? I think that more closely describes my position than centrist. :)

@Coach Chris The Pano King I think the premise is that the Chinese farmland was purposely purchased NEAR our military bases for the purposes of espionage. The Chinese are far ahead of us in drone technology - which is why we buy our drones from them for the military (what could possibly go wrong with that scenario???) - and they are surveilling us. Not our military - theirs. It's not a pleasant thought.

edited to say NEAR, not BY - for clarity
