They couldn't figure out how to tax the water. Are you shitting me? Because the air belongs to the government. This is the major problem we have right now, which infests innovation, it infests truth that you're trying to tell, and it is the administrative state that thinks it knows better, and it will basically forbid somebody from saying something they don't want them to say.
our rights to free speech. They will prevent you from building something if they haven't figured out how to tax it, or they don't understand the technology and they won't even let you innovate. So the journey for innovators to actually break out, not to mention that the municipalities, their main source of wealth is the taxation of electricity, the taxation of water. water and electricity.
Imagine now you can decouple from the municipalities the revenue of water. Now, there has to be some taxation because if you, like the water generator, you generate, let's say, 200 gallons a day for your home. But that water has to go down a drain after you're done showering or flushing the toilet. So you need to pay for that infrastructure of the drains and then the cleaning of that water.
So there still has to be some taxation.
Sure. There you go. But this is why, because Elon Musk was not going to put it down the drain. He was going to reuse that water every launch. But they were like, how do we tax it? And so it was going to take them 10 years and studies to figure out what this was.
And I know that's... Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. But, you know, the trick to these journeys of getting around the bureaucracy and the administrative state that grows so big that it now thinks it's smarter than you and it has the right to tell you what you can do, what you cannot do, this form of slavery, which is not only in the form of what you can say and what you can do, but also in the form of taxation. and in the form of inflation.
The fact that we get taxed on our land every single year. So I bought my land and then I get taxed on it every year. Clearly I don't own that land because if I don't pay those taxes, the government comes and takes the land away. I get taxed on my car every year, depending on your state. You have to pay a tax based on the value of the car that you already paid for and pay taxes on.
A form of slavery, a form of taxation without representation. And we all just kind of go along.
when we don't need to. So on many levels, innovators need to build and understand the bureaucratic state, the administrative state, and whether it's marketing in the taxation so the government gets their slice, but also baking into it a method where it uplifts the current infrastructure. So for example, the city of Tampa,
being willing and looking at this and saying, we can't afford a desal plant, one, because it's too expensive and our people can't afford the cost, but two, it's polluting our landfills and it's destroying our Tampa Bay. So they wanna get away from something that is not sustainable and is bad for the environment. And they're willing to invest in a new technology that will dovetail in.
So you build one that's small and eventually build one that supplies all your water needs. and then everybody's happy, but you gotta do it slowly and you need to partner with these institutions that are doing good things. But we shouldn't be giving the government a further taxation without representation just because they are Big Brother trying to tell us exactly how to suck the egg.
We have to be Americans where we are independent and we are self-sufficient and we have certain rights that God has given us that are enshrined in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. And people need to start by knowing that and investing.
They can invest in these kind of technologies that cut the cord from the administrative state, that allow us to live free and independent anywhere on the planet. Now we can start spreading out. You fly over the states and you look at all this desolate area. Why is it desolate? Because there's no water.
If we can produce water anywhere and produce electricity anywhere without the need for terrestrial infrastructure or depleting an aquifer, right now we're about ready to deplete the aquifers in Central America and the breadbasket of the world because we are siphoning that water out at 10 times the rate Mother Nature puts it back in.
Mother Nature puts it back in in the measuring in hundreds and thousands of years. and we're drying it out in tens of years. So that chicken is gonna come back to roost as well if we don't figure out the water system. So water, electricity, information are the groundwork of prosperity, health, and security. It's economic, which is downstream of security.
And space is gonna be the thing that enables the human race to truly usher in a new economy that turns to the heavens for our resources. I mean, that's a God thing. where God gave us brains and for the existence of all humanity, we have turned down and in for our solutions. And now we can turn out and up and look to God and the heavens for our resources and then the earth turns into a park.
where we don't have to mine and scar the surface of the Earth. We don't have to have power lines that make an ugly skyline. We don't have to pollute our water. And we can let Mother Nature get back to its beautiful, perfect sustainability in our groundwater, in our environment, in the air. I mean, what a beautiful future.
And it's accessible to people in Central Africa that currently are crucified and enslaved. People in Central Asia, I mean, look at Micronesia and Indonesia and Malaysia. It may rain a lot, but the way the rain runs off, there's not enough water for the people that live in the highlands of those islands.
And it is a travesty, the devastation of the human suffering that is created by a lack of adequate water. and all of it can be delivered through a bright mind and innovators that usher it in, and then government getting out of the way. That is the biggest problem with the American government.
