Also, At an average reading speed of a 10th grader, the OBBBA 1000 pages with single spacing should take at minimum 30 hours with 250 words-per-minute, otherwise, up to 60 hours at 200 words-per-minute. More than the estimated 12 hours.

Expect:
1. Martial Federalism: A De Facto Authoritarian Regime Under the Guise of Security
- Any form of dissent is criminalized under executive emergency statutes.
2. Escalated Provocation Abroad to Justify Crackdowns at Home
- War serves as a smokescreen for consolidating authoritarian rule.

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."
