TLDR: Musk/Trump are badly damaging the US economy, GDP growth of -2.8% in the first quarter adds up to -11.5% if continued for a year, which is *huge*.TLDR: Musk/Trump are badly damaging the US economy, GDP growth of -2.8% in the first quarter adds up to -11.5% if continued for a year, which is *huge*. (I lived through that in the UK in 1979-80, during Thatcher's first year. It was savage, and took a decade to get over—even thought she changed course after 18 months of monetarist disaster policies.)

What would be some of the challenges for a civilization the developed on a planet orbiting a rouge star?@futurebird how fast is fast? At 3000km/s the interstellar medium is going to hit like alpha and beta radiation, never mind the neutral hydrogen. That's going to do a number on the planet's upper atmosphere ... At least, untill it hits intergalactic space and the density drops 2-3 orders of magnitude. After which astronomy is going to be stunted—maybe not happening at all until photography is invented. Only planets really visible, no stellar motion.
