CMV: Current admin doesn't care about reelection

\*\*EDIT/TLDR\*\*: Wish I could've worded the title better. By reelection I mean chances for the next Republican candidate. My thesis is they (trump obviously but also the current faction of Republicans who control all the keys to power which includes many potential 2028 candidates) care about is staying in power now, but not beyond 2028. The midterms just need to be not catastrophic. The idea is permanently shifting the political/economic/power landscape is more powerful than one or two elections. There's dirt to do, and until Trump there has not been a president as willing to push the boundaries and have the base to survive it, so the main goal is to take advantage of the window now, not after 2028. There is no long term thinking, no decade long plan to "restore Monroe doctrine" or "economic nationalism". Those are just narratives used to gaslight to make it seem like all of this is done for some eventual greater good (which has a stabilizing effect at least in the short term since it preserves the base and leaves a lot of moderates confused of what to make of the situation).

CMV: The ICE agent and woman who got shot were both in the wrong

To be honest about my bias, I want to preface this by saying that I'm not really a fan of what ICE is doing in general. But I don't really think that's relevant. I will try to separate my personal views from this as much as possible.
I think it is dumb to drive near a cop (or anyone with gun) like that, even if the ICE agent was mostly at fault. If a cop is giving you orders, it is stupid not to listen to them.
I also think that the ICE agent didn't need to shoot her. He could've just tried stepping out of the way, especially since it looked like she was trying to leave. I think that both of them could have prevented what happened that day.
To change my view, you can explain how either of them was in the right in this situation.

Starting a business

My buddy just started a painting business as a side gig and he asked me to help him get it off the ground. I’ve never painted houses but I paint battleships for work so I’m pretty experienced. The conditions are: I have to find the work.
I’m looking for advice on how to grow this business as far as advertising and presentation goes. Any help is appreciated!
