“But over time, the executive branch grew exceedingly powerful. Two world wars emphasized the president’s commander in chief role and removed constraints on its power. By the second half of the 20th century, the republic was routinely fighting wars without its legislative branch, Congress, declaring war, as the Constitution required. With Congress often paralyzed by political conflict, presidents increasingly governed by edicts.”

    If such a mythical creature exists then feel free to correct me, but meanwhile I’m going to wonder how they have been accurately predicting the future for 40 years and aren’t the most famous person on earth? Like you get a couple billion dollars in the bank and every motherfucker who knows how to operate a keyboard is asking your opinion on stupid shit, how is this guy not on the front page like every day? Elon Musk has only been publicly-known for like 15 years and I can’t buy a pack of smokes without hearing about his opinion on some bullshit or other, so your guy must be flying way under the radar.
