Belief is not evidence. “Logical” is insufficient - lots of hypotheses are logical but wrong, because they do not accurately describe how nature behaves. You need an experiment, or at least a proposed experiment, that allows for the idea to be tested. And the hypothesis has to make specific predictions. Invoking entanglement with no details falls well short of the mark.

Who is “you” in this? Do you understand how elections work?

! Moderator Note What you believe is irrelevant. What can you show, via theory and experiment? Rigor is required. I refer you to studiot’s statement above about this being a science site.

This is not in accordance with our policy on its use https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/133848-policy-on-aillm-use-on-sfn/ Further, there’s not enough science in your post for it to be discussed in speculations. You’re free to ask questions, but if you have something to propose you need math so things can be quantified and you can make specific predictions.

Right. Stock prices generally reflect expectation of future earnings, so it’s not November sales that matter, it’s next year’s, and the year after. And tariffs on Canadian goods would bump oil prices up, so if gas is more expensive, EV sales should continue to be robust.

I think he stays to make sure investigations into his companies get derailed and the gravy train keeps flowing to him.

I think that there’s going to be a lot of noise and not much action for a while. It’s not so easy to fire federal employees. I think the first attempts will result in some lawsuits and probably an injunction and blaming of the “deep state” because baby didn’t get his binky. Eventually various organizations will be able to re-do their org charts to reduce billets, but I’ve seen efforts to do this take more than a year before implementation. And other than the political appointees, few are going to be willing to reduce headcount unless there’s also a reduction in expected results, but that’s not an improvement in efficiency. Budget cuts will also affect this, but that, too will take time to bubble through. And representatives won’t like losing money coming into their districts. People don’t always realize that a lot of federal employees work outside of DC. Another tactic might be to shift even more work to contractors, even though that doesn’t really make anything cheaper or more efficient. They’ve been doing this for years. (the number of federal employees hasn’t changed all that much for the last ~50 years, even though the population has almost doubled) But it does give money to businesses. My bet is he’s going to try and fire any Biden administration holdovers before any of his own people.

No, actually, I don’t. If you didn’t mean cabinet, you shouldn’t have said cabinet. Your imprecise wording not anybody else’s fault. Stop trying to blame others for not understanding.

Perhaps not explicitly but it’s right there in the derivation.

Musk isn’t going to be in his cabinet, because the so-called Department of Government Efficiency is not an actual department. Congress can create new departments, but the president can’t. Musk and Ramaswamy will be advisors, and not government employees.

Again, you are making predictions as if Trump has some magic wand to do these things. How will he shut down public tv and radio? How will he sell something the federal government doesn’t own?

Without much in the way of fact, either. Certainly not anything that’s been supported by outside sources. (“Outside sources” not meaning citing someone’s opinion)

Congresscritters that need to be re-elected in two years might act in self preservation, especially if things go sideways quickly, and they know they’ll be tagged with it. In state legislatures, too. 37 states have gubernatorial elections in the next two years. And just citizens exhibiting passive non-compliance, or at least not complying in advance.

But Trump’s (narrow) win didn’t have the coattails one might have expected at the state level; Democrats broke the GOP supermajority in North Carolina, have a one-seat majority in the Pennsylvania House, and flipped 14 seats in Wisconsin (where they had new electoral maps)
