Two stick-figure characters talk. The younger one asks if the older remembers life before the internet.

screenshot from the NYT that reads: Robert Shinkle Ohio Department of Development administrative staff Sugarcreek Township, Ohio We expect that Trump will usher in a new golden era for America. That's why we're dressed the way we are. This is the beginning of the Roaring Twenties 2.0.

So I left him, saying to myself, as I went away: Well, although I do not suppose that either of us knows anything really beautiful and good, I am better off than he is,

In a statement, Trump said that Musk and Ramaswamy would be leading the “Department of Government Efficiency,” an idea championed by Musk. Trump said the department would operate outside of government, while partnering with the White House and its budget office to provide recommendations for overhauling federal operations. Musk has adopted the nickname “DOGE” for the commission, a reference to a meme-based cryptocurrency he also touted.

screenshot from Wikipedia that reads: The stumps with roots may be uprooted and laid in a new place as in the example exhibited in Skansen, or in ground where it was felled.
