It's a little more nuanced than that:
Article 1, Section 6: Rights and Disabilities of Members
The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States.They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
Henry Ford doubled the wages of his production-line workers to $5 a day in 1914 -- when gold was (by law) $20.67/ounce (a US $20 gold coin contained just under an ounce of gold, the missing fraction was the seignorage, which paid for the minting of the coins).
With a six-day workweek (the 5-day workweek didn't arrive at Ford -- or most places -- until years later), that meant production workers were getting paid one and a half ounces of gold per week.
Today's gold price (per Kitco) is $2,626.00/oz as I write this.
2,626.00 x 1.5 = $3,939 PER WEEK x 50 weeks/year (idk if that's the correct number of weeks worked in this case) = $196,950 / year.
A fifth of a million dollars per year for working on Ford's production line -- THAT's what blue-collar Americans at Ford were making 110 years ago.
seigniorage | ˈsānyərij | (also seignorage) noun profit made by a government by issuing currency, especially the difference between the face value of coins and their production costs.
It's clearly an advertisement by the Cabal promising a Big Payday to whoever succeeds in eliminating Trump. I can't see it being anything else; the idea this chump HAS $150,000 to pay anyone or that he would be ABLE to pay that money (even if he possessed it) after being captured or killed is simply not believable.
And for that matter, who believes he wrote that note in his car after the failed attempt?
why indict him now?
Because we're at that point in the Storm. We've had several other big names go down for sexual assault / trafficking / etc since Trump's early days in the White House, starting with Weinstein, but now things are picking up, and not only in this area. Between now and Jan 5 -- and for some time after -- I expect to see MASSIVE declass and many, many arrests.
This doesn't feel like a mere distraction to me, although there are surely a few people who aren't complicit in THIS PARTICULAR scandal who are happy that it's taking eyes away from them - for now.
I can't argue with that, newdaynewname4 -- we still pay taxes allegedly for expanding access to electricity and phone service, despite those issues being solved long ago. Once government program starts, it tends to go on forever.
But I will say that when the problem visibly persists, that tends to INCREASE the money being given to the gov't and private groups "working on the problem", as with cancer, homelessness, "poverty", and so on.
I don't think there's any need for "hope." Nothing on the internet ever really disappears, and even if that weren't true in general I'm certain that Elon would have taken care to keep relevant tweets and DMs regardless of their being "deleted."
This is the incentive structure for GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNMENT-FED ORGANIZATIONS GENERALLY: If you SOLVE THE PROBLEM you are funded for, your money disappears. If you KEEP THE PROBLEM GOING, you get to keep your funding.
Government and government-fed incentives are upside down; the OPPOSITE of those in the Free Market.
Major, high-effort and worthwhile post, /u/JohnTitor17. I've repeatedly seen assertions over the years, some with sauce, that small nukes have been used occasionally without MSM comment, including in the 9/11 bombings of the Twin Towers.
I appreciate all the reference material you've provided.
Personally, I believe nothing short of having the military oversee the elections nation-wide will ensure that ONLY citizens are voting AND that the vote is counted accurately. Until the corruption is rooted out, nothing else is going to do the job.
I don't have a 401k and am not familiar with the rules; I'm pretty sure there are limitations on what you can invest in, penalties for early withdrawal (so you could put the money elsewhere), and so on, but I don't know details.
The TRUE answer to that question is this:
Forcible government -- that is, coercive government, which is the ONLY kind of government we've tried -- IS ITSELF A FORM OF TYRANNY because coercion (for funding and gradually for more and more and more things) is entirely what makes "government" different from "civil society", including from commerce.
Tyranny grows.
It ALWAYS grows, unless the people are fighting it and are able to push it back.
"Just a little Tyranny" is exactly like "just a little bit pregnant" -- it is the first act of something much bigger.
CAN freedom actually include . . . NO INITIATED COERCION?
YES it can, and if we want to KEEP the nation free, it's exactly what we must create: a true civil society.
Abolish the initiation of coercion.
EDIT:
For more detail and a look at how an actually FREE society would work (with incentives, insurance, natural market regulation like UL and NFPA (both founded in the late 1800s) and so on, consider The Market for Liberty -- free download at Mises.org or purchase at Amazon or elsewhere.

The added road-crushing weight of EVs also degrades roadways and bridges faster than normal. It makes parking structures more likely to fail (how this will play out in the real world is yet unknown, but as the EV fleet grows as a percentage of the total number of vehicles on the road, we will find out). It grinds tires down faster, not only costing owners more money and inconvenience but adding more micro-and nano-plastic and other pollution to the environment around our roadways. Then there are all the other problems: fires that can't be put out (or not easily), lack of anywhere near-enough functional charging infrastructure, the environmental nightmare involved in creating and disposing of the batteries, the huge EXPENSE of replacing a worn or damaged battery, already-inadequate existing electric generation, an electric GRID badly in need of upgrades, the tyranny of not being able to pay with privacy-protecting CASH to charge your vehicle at a charging station, and many more issues.
Summary Findings:
Ryan Wesley Routh was previously known to the FBI/DHS/USSS/DOJ/DOD since no later than 2002, when he was charged with possession of a WMD and because of his direct involvement in the war in Ukraine. Routh was permitted to travel to West Palm Beach unimpeded despite his travels triggering watchlist designation[s]. Routh was permitted to obtain a rifle and assume a lie-in wait posture at a known weakness in perimeter security after being fed leaked insider information about an operational window of opportunity. Occam’s prevails to indicate another internal operation and deliberate stand-down.

Yes, the HERO was an armed American. But the BAD GUY is also an armed American, and a murderous criminal, NAMED LIBERTY. You're missing the entire point: The movie uses the cookie-cutter American Western, full of American values, to subtly push the idea that Liberty (by name) has to be killed off.
EDIT: Why not name the Bad Guy something else? ANYTHING else other than "Liberty?"
LOL! -- never heard that one before.
