New HQ: Jerusalem.

Staff it with anyone the UN hasn't labeled a dick in the last decade. Require soldiers from anyone it has.

And move it where al-jaz? The founding/voting council all are corrupt in one form or another. China? Pffft no. Russia? Pffft no. The arab world? I'm sorry but Saudi Arabia has a corruption problem the likes of which make even Trump look sane.

The US always had skeletons in the closet but now we're literally running back to the gilded age. That's not my words that's Trump's own proclaimation that is what he wants. A time where companies were unaccountable and those without power were essentially incapible of doing anything but taking it.

This is fair. A lot of positive changes in regards to business treatment and actions (repairability being a big one, an example of forcing compliance is getting apple to switch to USB-C ... After sixteen or eighteen years of their own propritary thing.)

The US in my eyes as someone in a red state, has lost its seat at the grownup's table.
