Another frustration I have with expat life : Despite the translation and prononciation of my name being easy in this new language, locals can't fathom the existence of a compound first name.

The Network State Coup is Happening Right Now
Elon Musk's attempt to destroy the United States government isn't random chaos. It's the methodical execution of the "network state" blueprint.
