1. We hear from SCOTUS on exactly the same schedule. It hasn't change for many decades, perhaps centuries.
This indicates that your perception was incorrect.

1⃣It's hard to overstate how much you misrepresent the situation. 1st, there is no such thing as trickle-down economics. That's a name the Dems took from Will Rogers to describe an oversimplified version of supply-side economics. You aren't an economist, as far as I can tell,

1⃣Disagree. Among the writings that back the logic for 2A, it's clear it was important to the founders to arm the populace sufficiently well to fight off an armed oppressor, including the Fed govt, the recognition that arms must be comparable. So if govt has AR15, people should.

I'm sorry, your information is incorrect. Trump's issues were primarily with the second of the three relief packages because he felt the relief to the average family was insufficient, and there was too much pork.

Again, false. They worked with Supply-side economics, Dems invented something called "Trickle-down". S-S was created in the 1970s. We've seen the Keynsian alternative recently. That's a disaster.

1⃣Not perceptive. Forget Musk for a moment. Consider the avg family, owns a house with a mortgage. It's the same thing. They own property, the house. They don't pay income tax on the gain in value of house, but it's collateral for a loan. Musk owns shares of a business...

You continue absurd statements. 1st, if the CEO is paid more, the corp has less. That isn't corp greed, a baldly silly argument. 2nd, inflation is a forward-looking issue. It's not about the last coffee beans purchased or last payday. It's about the next coffee, the next payday.

b) Simplified regulation and simplified taxes

The amount of pay doesn't determine relevance. The amount of pay is determined by what the market will pay. If it is forced higher, the job is eliminated, and potentially the business.
