Is USA of Trump still bankable or even economically viable? Are we seeing what happened in Putin's Russia bankruptcy of 2006 which helped his dictatorship to arise further and led russia to avoidance of repay of its debts to the rest of the world? What will happen to china, Europe and other countries when USA would be bankrupt or will stop repaying its debts to them, destroy the dollar are when people/businesses will take refuge to unregulated cryptomoneys (Trump, musk or others) supported by gafams/MasterCard (bitcoins,...) selling goods with prices expressed in several competing cryptomoneys ?
Prepare for the worst...fasten your belts folks.

But, like previous attempts it's likely despite early 'victories' with the abolition of NHS England & the Payment Systems Regulator (collapsed into the FSA), once they receive the requested justifications, as Mike Clancy (Prospect union) notes they will find these QUANGOs often do “incredibly important work” that's “often under-appreciated” in Westminster, making abolition hard

FDA promulgated a click-to-cancel regulation. I doubt much will come of that for a while, but New York is enforcing its version of the law against Sirium XM, which requires that users listen to a sales pitch from a live agent before quitting.
