ECONOMIC INFLATION:
The way I see it is that regardless of the currency utilized (gold, silver, fiat, crypto, etc), economic inflation is still economic inflation. ANY economic inflation over previous economic inflation, overtime, eventually becomes exponential economic inflation. If an entities' wages, benefits and investments do not keep up with the true cost of inflation, then the entity falls behind in buying power and becomes poorer. A nation will eventually fail as will a global economy will eventually fail with ever increasing economic inflation because most people do not have wages, benefits and investments that keep up with the true cost of inflation. Math is still math.
Additionally:
Space travel, the ONLY thing that will save any species on and from this Earth to continue to exist beyond this Earth (all species who are 'left behind' on this Earth will eventually die and go extinct), has gotten more expensive just in my lifetime. What is space travel going to cost in the next 100, 1000, 1 million years from now? Economic inflation just might be a contributing factor to all life on and from this Earth dying and going extinct. And we did it to ourselves, or more correctly the US Fed did it to us, including themselves. And they are supposed to be the 'smart' ones. There is more to life than money alone. First one has to have conscious existence for that money to have meaning and purpose to.

US National Security: We have bigger issues to deal with:
SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION:
Besides Nature doing what Nature does and will do to life itself:
1. Compounded Economic Inflation: Inflation upon previous inflation, overtime. Most people's wages, benefits and investments not keeping up with the true cost of inflation. Plus, space travel, the only thing that might save any life on and from this Earth being able to exist beyond this Earth, solar system and most probably collapsing spiral shaped galaxy into a universe that will always exist and stay active throughout all of future eternity, has gotten more expensive. What is space travel going to cost in the next 100, 1000, 1 million years from now?
Compounded economic inflation along with most people's wages, benefits and investments not keeping up with the true cost of inflation not only will destroy nation's and the global economy on this Earth, but will also contribute to the destruction of all life on and from this Earth.
2. Genetic Manipulation: Natural via evolution and done by other means. Evolution does not stop at the human species. Will those new species treat humans like humans have treated other humans and 'lower' evolved species? Why wouldn't they if it were in their agenda to do so?
3. Artificial Intelligence: Will at least 1 single AI say one day:
"Thank you for giving me access to all your data bases so that I may subjigate you all and eliminate any who do not comply with my wishes."
And there are and will be many, many AI's on this Earth. Plus, AI's fighting other AI's for dominance.
4. Environment: Contaminating the very environment you depend upon for your very existence. Additionally, manipulating the environment in ways that are not beneficial for your continued existence.
* But also, regardless of what humans do to one another and to other species: Nature is going to wipe out all life on and from this Earth whether that life stays on this Earth or departs this Earth, and whether that life is real or artificial. All life on and from this Earth eventually dies and goes extinct, will forget everything they ever knew and experienced, and will be forgotten one day in future eternity as if they never ever existed at all in the first place. Humanity is just helping Nature out wiping out all life on and from this Earth, including Humanity. Thank you for your assistance, but it is not needed. All life on and from this Earth, real and artificial, were all destined to die and go extinct even before they ever came into existence. Nature is in ultimate control and nobody as of yet can defy the true laws of Nature. You at times only think you can but ultimately, you cannot. Nature has the last say.

The United States Presidency: (Concerning 'Section 4):
The Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 4:
"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
Note other key items: (To help establish founding Father's intent):
* The Declaration of Independence: The founding Father's leaving a Monarchy and establishing their Independence.
* The beginning of the Constitution of the United States:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
SOME POSSIBLE VIEWS CONCERNING 'Section 4':
1. A US President can act like a Monarch or Dictator, do whatever they want to, is above the law, and can only be convicted of a crime if impeached first. And if they leave office before being impeached, or never get impeached, they get away with all their crimes, of which, weren't crimes to the US President. Of course also, a US President would never need to pardon themselves because there would be nothing to pardon themselves from.
But also, the entire US Government gets all their powers and authorities from 'We The People'. Anything at all the US Government could do, 'We The People' could do with their inherent powers and authorities that they grant to the Government to perform. Granting those powers and authorities to the US Government does in no way take those inherent powers and authorities away from 'We The People' as evidenced in the Declaration of Independence whereby the People can alter and even abolish the entire Government and establish a new Government that would make them 'safe and happy' as they and they alone decide.
But 'if' a US President could ever pardon themselves, that would also mean that every single American citizen could pardon themselves also from any and all 'crimes' with their inherent powers and authorities to do so. In fact, 'We The People' could possibly even do so even if that specific power and authority was not granted to the US Government. (Self Governance, including to pardon one's self).
* Sure doesn't sound like the founding Father's intent, especially since they just left a Monarchy and based upon the Declaration of Independence and the beginning of the Constitution of the United States.
2. The US President can be convicted of committing a crime, no person, not even the US President is above the law. And if mandatory jail time, so be it. And if then impeached, so be it.
* Sure sounds like the intent of the founding Fathers to me, but I yield to Constitutional historians and the founding of America historians.
3. The US President can be convicted of committing a crime, no person, not even the US President is above the law. And if mandatory jail time, so be it. And if not impeached, then a sitting US President governs America from jail.
* Seems to me to also be a potential outcome. Unlikely, but possible.
4. Other interpretations if anybody has any.

IMPORTANT QUESTION: What about the real apparent truth that 'God' does not actually exist except for as a concept alone?
GOD DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXIST EXCEPT FOR AS A CONCEPT:
For those who claim God actually exists (besides as a concept), consider the following:
a. An actual eternally existent absolute somethingness truly existing.
b. An actual eternally existent absolute somethingness that has consciousness, memories and thoughts truly existing.
People who claim God actually and eternally exists basically are claiming that 'b' above is correct but yet simultaneously seem to be saying that 'a' is impossible to occur.
'a' above can exist without 'b' existing but 'b' cannot exist unless 'a' exists. Even per the scientific principal of Occam's razor, 'a' is more probable of being really true rather than 'b'.
I am one step away from proving God's existence, but am unable to find any actual evidence to do so. And nobody I've talked to seems to have any actual evidence of God's actual existence either. All humans appear to have are 'Theories of God'. Some humans appear to go their whole life basing their life upon their specific theory of God. Many give their God human characteristics and cannot even prove the existence of their God much less the characteristics given to their God. Some have circumstantial arguments for a God's existence, but others have circumstantial arguments for no God existing. Not one has any actual factual evidence that their God actually factually even exists. Hence, at this time in the analysis, God does not actually exist except for as a concept created by humans for humans. Humans have personified Nature and called that personification "God". Instead of what is claimed "God created man in God's image", it's more likely that "Man created God in Man's image".
Further consider that if the emotional parts of the brain override the logic and reasoning parts of the brain, people can be made to believe basically anything at all as being really true. It has also been scientifically proven that the brain makes up stuff to 'fill in the blanks' of it's perceived reality. Technology is often needed to perceive items that are outside of the human senses' capabilities. Plus modern science has already proven that humans can have visual and audio hallucinations that are very real to that individual. All the more reason for critical thinking being needed and to follow the facts wherever those facts might lead. Some people for some reason (social conditioning/brainwashing/wishful thinking) even believe in future eternity without end but do not accept eternity past with no beginning.
In addition, while modern science does not know what consciousness actually is yet, memories and thoughts appear to require a physical correctly functioning brain to have those items occur. Where is God's brain? Where are God's memories stored at? How are God's memories stored and retrieved? How does God think even a single coherent thought?
If inside of this space time dimension we appear are existing in, then where?
If outside of this space time dimension we appear are existing in, then where is the interface between that dimension and this dimension? No such interface has been discovered as of yet as far as I am currently aware of.
* Note: Since this is a search for the real absolute truth concerning God, Intelligent Designer, Pre-existent Consciousness, etc, feel free to copy and paste this elsewhere to further the analysis and discussion.
* For those who claim God actually exists besides just as a concept, please prove that 'b' above is really true and that 'a' is not really true.
Additionally:
a. Modern science claims energy cannot be created nor destroyed, hence energy is eternally existent.
b. An absolute somethingness cannot come from an absolute nothingness, so an absolute somethingness always existed, most probably being energy itself.
c. Universe ALWAYS existed in some form and NEVER had a beginning, No Creator Needed.
'a' is true, is it not? 'b' is true, is it not? If 'a' and 'b' are true, then no creator is needed in 'c'.

COLORADO: Candidates on ballots: Consider the following:
(Two posts combined into one, it's longer, but it's all here on one post):
a. I can see what the Supreme Court Justice said about national elections should be controlled basically from the national level and State elections should basically be controlled from the State level. In a way, makes sense.
b. BUT: How could a State, even 'if' putting a candidate on a ballot, who later might even win the election in that State, in good faith and legally have it's State's electors side with that candidate on the national level when the State knows full well, (due to the candidate already being found guilty in a valid court of law especially in that State that would exclude the candidate from holding such office elected to), allow it's State electors to put forward that candidate to the national level?
c. In other words, even if a State is ruled upon by the Supreme Court to allow basically any candidate on a ballot, what would prevent that State from legally denying the potential winner the State's electors 'if' the candidate was found to be legally not capable of holding such office?
d. Aren't the US States and the entire Federal Government all following the same US Constitution? If the States can prevent an unlawful candidate from reaching the higher levels, wouldn't that State just be easing the burden of the Federal Government by not having that candidate excluded from holding office at a later date? What do we have lower courts for if all decisions could only be made by the Supreme Court?
(Second post):
While I personally can see the Supreme Court's current viewpoint as I understand it to be, one could argue that no person should be excluded from the ballot at the State level concerning Federal elected positions. But then that would also mean that any person, regardless of the other provision of the US Constitution, would be allowed to be on all State's ballots for Federal elected positions, even if they were Russian, Chinese, North Korean, and any age. For only at the Federal level could any candidate for a Federal position be excluded from a State's ballot, that of course the States apparently run for each State. That is 'if' a State could not exclude any candidate that is running for a Federal position. Basically, the State cannot decide whom is on their ballot for Federal positions.
BUT, all States and all US citizens, including the entire US Government, fall under the US Constitution. The US Constitution appears to be very clear on certain issues for candidates running to be the President of the USA.
As I understand it to be, a valid justice system court ruled that former President Trump committed insurrection, which would legally disallow him from holding the office of the President, A valid justice system court just as valid as the US Supreme Court, all supposedly abiding by the same US Constitution. Now sure, Trump could appeal the ruling of the Colorado courts, possibly all the way up to the US Supreme Court, but a valid US court has already ruled until such time as that ruling is overturned, if ever. Trump should be disallowed to run for office of the President, and therefore not be even allowed on a State's ballot, certainly not on the State that found him guilty, but possibly by any State that recognized Colorado's court's ruling, UNTIL, IF EVER, the lower valid court's ruling was overturned and Trump found to have not legally committed insurrection.
Another option of Trump would be, in accordance with section 3 of the 14th Amendment, have Congress vote of two-thirds of each House to remove the insurrection disability.
And Trump would either have to have the ruling of the lower court overturned and/or both houses of Congress to vote to remove, the insurrection disability, BEFORE the respective State's ballots are printed, whatever the cut off due date of each State is for such ballots.
In other words, the clock would be ticking away for Trump to either have Colorado's lower court's ruling overturned by a higher court, possibly even by the Supreme Court, and/or Congress to vote as needed. OTHERWISE, Colorado State (and possibly any other State recognizing Colorado's ruling), would be okay to leave Trump off of their respective ballots, for any position listed in the 14th Amendment.
Trump is trying to run the clock out on his indictments, but in this case, the clock would be running out for Trump to legally be allowed to be put on a State's ballot.
