Will be either the best or worst in US history - or somewhere close.

Trump has some of the smartest people + best entrepreneurs around him for the last one hundred years and one of the best innovator+entrepreneur in history - the PayPal mafia and Elon Musk.

The Caveat - will Trump let them do their work? If not it will be all down hill, if he lets them do their work it will be the greatest four years in history for AMERICANS

He got elected because of the PayPal mafia and their friends.

My prediction will be 100% accurate:

The next four years would be exactly the same as if Harris had been elected.

Not sure how you deduced that. I never implied neutrality or middle ground...I said best or worst..somewhere close to "best" "worst" still implies very good..or very bad...

Yes, it will the best four years in US history for the newly established Oligarchy in the America. They would get what they from the transactions they make with Trump and the greatest grifter that ever existed will get his piece of the action.

Soon Trump, the American Emperor, will become one of richest men in the world. His hangers-on will get their share, all those poorer Deplorables who voted for him will be living out their pitiful lives hating immigrants more than ever for the situation they still find themselves in.

Trump May push for that, but it does not matter.

What matters is allow innovation to happen fast and that will improve life..reduce inflation through an increased productivity.

Look it is really bad when it takes more time to get the permit to launch a rocket than the time it takes to build the rocket. Those were the kinds of thighs people had to deal with under Biden.

As an example, the entire PayPal mafia and friends made their money as a result of innovation....let's allow the innovation to occur quicker without unnecessary bureaucracy.

Sor of what you say may be true, but I believe that the wealth will also get to the working class. We will see.

But please man...Can you guys please stop insulting the people who voted for him? People across all spectrum voted for him. It really is disappointing to see the vitriol from the Dems and supporters- how does that help the country?

Humans so willingly delude themselves.
Heard an interview of a Las Vegas Latino family that was tracked for six months

Husband- previously undecided, voted for Harris.but is glad Trump won because he'll fix the economy
29yo Son- Didn't like Trump.at 1st but voted for him because loves how he speaks his mind and don't care what others think
Wife-Trump voter- New immigrants are not like her they're criminals running from.the law in their own countries. Trump will not deport her undocumented relatives says her husband because they are good people not criminals
Take from the above what you will

Does innovation includes "Green E energy" or " the black gold under our feet?"

It will be the best for some, and the worst for others . Some people's dreams are other people's nightmares.

Nah, I try to educate myself with coherent data.
When you factor in the trajectories, certain outcomes become predictable.
Never mind the hubris-filled blowhards who allow themselves to be swayed by their unwavering personal opinions, even when faced with evidence that contradicts them.

Beautiful and really interesting questions. I have always felt that the green movement was more a bureautic and political tool for whatever reasons and will not solve climate related or human survival issues.

Eating, driving, consuming, oiling less will not solve climate issues or survival issues on this planet - innovation will. Doing less to sustain humans has never solved issues but innovation has.

Innovation will solve and continue human existence whether it is here or on other planets. Trust it, trust yourself.

The Caveat - will Trump let them do their work?
The bigger question is – who will they be working for, the American people, or themselves. Musk have several multibillion $ contracts with the Government, how will he expand his stake under his new position?

We all know Trumps history of grifting, and his son-in-law got two billion cash from the Saudis’ – he has taken one hundred million of it in the four years since for his management fees so far, and the Saudis have gotten no returns (ROI) … that money was all for shielding the Saudi Prince (MBS) for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post Reporter.

And don’t forget the numerous merchandise licenses Trump’s daughter got from the Chinese……and he has total immunity now …some interesting times ahead

Think on these things.
When Obama was forced to remove the start-up subsidies to Solyndra China took over the solar power industry and it has caused significant reduction In Carbon emissions.
Musk's biggest auto plant is in China and China is the biggest electric car manufacturer significantly reducing carbon emissions as wealth of individual citizen's grow.

What major innovations do you anticipate will benefit humanity while keeping the majority of high school graduates' jobs (if they exist) in The United States?
Why I liked Kamala's small business push is because the longterm alternative I see is "Guaranteed Minimum Income" something conservatives will not abide. To them it is socialism, undeserving and laziness...let them die
