What will change in the next administration?


Antitrust, green cards, tariffs? Seems like some big changes are imminent.

More entertaining Presidential tweets. That's about it.

If what Trump says is true, Elon Musk will try to remove $2T from federal expenditures which will have a massive ripple effect, from jobs to regulation.

Even if the Federal "Cognitive Hygiene" efforts continue (mis/disinformation departments), the people running them won't be allowed the free hand they have previously enjoyed in squelching unapproved speech. Publishers will not leap to comply the way they've been doing for 8 years.

lawsuits against the Federal government will have a more receptive audience: lawyers will be more willing to undertake such cases, judges to hear them, the public will be interested in them. The idea that "government is automatically always Good" is being shelved until the next time it's needed. Citizens will again have standing to bring suits.

Antitrust could turn into a big deal, but only if there's some attitude changes in the current big money alliances.

The bigs might sacrifice some of their own in order to insure their own survival. For example, Nvidia might be "too big, too concentrated" but Amazon will be "diverse" enough to be spared.
