We’ve already started working to replace poisonous lead pipes in America.
So every American can turn on a faucet at home or at school and drink clean water.

This reminds me of my youth. I remember as a kid, the 3000+ kids I knew and grew up with ALL ate paint chips. All day, everyday, they'd just eat paint chips. Remarkable that, isn't it? Not one kid I ever knew would even think of doing this, not one kid I ever knew had a heart attack, had a stroke, died from Chickenpox, measles or climate change. I must have lived the most extraordinary bubble life ever.

Just a "by the way", read today that big tech is laying off tens of thousands of employees. Google, Mickeysoft, and Amazon were among those named.
Wonder if going woke is no longer profitable for them.
Cheers

Analyzing that photo ...
Almost looks like GM photo-bombed the photo.
Musk is standing away from her with his left arm keeping her from being with him.
She is also well behind him.
It is also a photo she could use to say, 'yes, I know Elon.'
Musk is not on the list of visitors to the Island.
Photos can tell a story.
ETA. That always assumes that that is Musk or that the current one is actually Musk. Very hard to tell. The masks are getting better.

Welcome to the United States of Bankruptcy.....
The United States Is Insolvent
americafirstreport.com...
As I write this article, the U.S. national debt is sitting at 31.4 trillion dollars.
But the total value of all goods and services produced in the United States last year was only about 25 trillion dollars.
Our leaders in Washington could try to reverse course by balancing the budget, but that would lead to a short-term economic disaster.
Just think about it. What do you think would happen if a couple trillion dollars of government spending was suddenly sucked out of the economy?
We would immediately plunge into a horrifying economic depression. Sadly, the truth is that we have been borrowing from the future to make the present a lot more pleasant. We are enjoying an artificially-inflated standard of living that we do not deserve, and we have been using debt to fund that artificially-inflated standard of living.
But now a day of reckoning is here. Of course it isn’t just the federal government that has gone completely insane. Our state and local governments are collectively more than 3 trillion dollars in debt. Corporate debt in the United States has now surpassed the 12 trillion dollar mark.
The US Govt has propped up the economy for 30+ years.....Free money is gone....massive cuts are coming.....The coming recession is going to hit like a bullet train full speed.

in the case of Amazon and many online shopping places, the reason is, they hired during the pandemic, to tackle the increased online shopping demand. That demand has faded, by now... and automatization isn't going to stop either.
