Adam and Jeff discuss some of the more recent executive orders signed by President Trump and suggest that the sheer number of these executive orders may be diluting their effectiveness. One order which directs that Washington D.C. be made safe and beautiful is little more than a directive that the relevant officials do whatever they can to make Washington D.C. great again. As with other orders such as one which directs that bank payments be made safe and efficient, many of these orders appear to be more aspirational in nature instead of offering concrete steps to take. Unfortunately, Jeff and Adam are both painfully aware that the modern banking system is incredibly efficient insofar as debiting monies from their accounts is concerned. However, the speed with which deposits are credited back to their accounts harkens back to the days of the Pony Express. Yet another executive order directs that the White House set up a task force to deal with FIFA (the governing body of professional soccer competitions throughout the world) even though most people in the United States do not watch professional soccer or even realize that FIFA is not a light and flakey bakery treat. Yet another executive order directs that a strategic bitcoin reserve be established; Jeff is unsure, however, how you stockpile something that is basically an imaginary asset.
