hange stuff? You know I saw Congress is the only one who could do that but the details are that if the law allows the federal government and the president to manage something then that president can manage that thing as long as it's within the bounds of the law according to a number of subjective or different technical ways to get it done. So the trick is that you have to write your executive order so that it looks like you're just making a technical operational administrative change but it doesn't affect the law itself. The law is still the law and you're still obeying it. You're just modifying how you're observing it or implementing it. So apparently they found some technicality where people got billed more than they should have or at least you could define it that way or you could interpret it that way and so they're going to use that technicality to make a bunch of mostly interest payments go away I think. I don't know what to think about this because you'd have to see the technical argument and I didn't but if it's true that these people were paying money that obviously they didn't need to well then we need to fix that and then that would be a good thing that he's doing but I don't know if that's the case. You know maybe it's just a technicality to make it make you sound like he did more than he did.

Well if you were following social media today you saw some frightened people say that Biden is calling up reserves in the U.S. and the worry would be that the reserves are being called up because of Ukraine and that it's a preparation step toward putting boots on the ground, American boots on the ground in Ukraine which I think we all think is the worst idea of all time. But also I was reading a tweet thread by Joshua Steinman who you should follow. Really good follow if you want to know what's going on. Joshua Steinman and he had some experience in this domain and explained the different various reserves and who's a weekend reserve and who's a coast guard and National Guard and I don't know. So he kind of broke down what all the parts are and how they move and then his takeaway was it probably was not related to Ukraine. It's more likely related, he's speculating but based on his experience which seemed directly applicable to the topic, he thinks there's more about talent retention because the military is having a talent retention problem and he thought that the move might be getting at that although that's unconfirmed but it doesn't look like an obvious thing you would do to get ready to put boots on the ground in Ukraine.

Can we all agree that we're not going to put boots on the ground in Ukraine? And when I say let's agree I mean we can stop that from happening right? The public can absolutely stop that from happening if we want to. If we don't want to we won't but if we want to we can absolutely stop it. It's not up to Biden. You know he's going to have to bow to the public if the public is 80% against it it's just not going to happen but you'd probably have to get to about 80 percent. All right the 50-50 won't get it done. So I wouldn't worry about World War III just yet.

India is launching a second attempt to put a rover on the moon. Boy you know I had not been paying attention to India at all when it comes to space but I don't know if you've heard this. This might be the first time you've heard this but there are some good Indian engineers. Did anybody know that? Yeah they got really good. They got smart people. They got really really good engineers and they launched a rocket. I haven't heard yet if there's any problem with it. So far so good. I would love to see another rover on the moon and I would love it to be an ally. That would be ideal. So keep an eye on India and space. And I also think it's important that India might want to get a foothold on the moon because the moon is going to be a battlefield you know that right? The odds that we're never going to have a war on the moon are pretty low because the moon's sort of the ultimate space attack base for Earth. Yeah if you wanted to have like a military base on the moon someday that feels like it would be a good play. You know someday I can imagine them a spaceship that does nothing but drag giant boulders from Mars and just release them. Yeah but figure out where they're gonna land so it's like a rocket if they don't burn up. That's the worst idea I've had lately.

All right I saw on I think it was in The Hill or something that Trump is less popular
