Protected by the rule of law maybe a better way to express it. The current holder of the office of President is destroyer of the rule of law.

The current mob seems have lost sight of the fact that citizens are supposed to belong in the USA and are protected by the constitution. The really interesting thing is how quickly all these public servants have accepted illegal orders.

Sounds like doomish stuff. We innovate all the time. If copper and lithium are short supply items then technology will morph to use something else.
