A comment by White House science adviser Michael Kratsios has gone viral after a speech in which he claimed U.S. technology can “manipulate time and space,” prompting online speculation.
Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, made the remark during a policy address at the Endless Frontiers Retreat in Austin, Texas on April 14.
“Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity,” Kratsios said during prepared remarks published on the official White House website.
While the statement was likely intended as aspirational language about technological progress, it has since circulated widely online, with some interpreting the comment literally.

Ok, so your on drugs. It’s not a particularly unique technology tho.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

I was expecting something along these lines
It manipulates space by “moving everything around you until the space around you is not the USA, but El Salvador,” and it manipulates time by making it seem like no time has passed as the space moves, almost like you were put to sleep with a tranquilizer (but that’s definitely not what it was)
It manipulates time by sending the entire country back 100 years, and it manipulates space by making it seem like the middle of Europe
if true this explains soooo much.

The time distortion first came when a huge number of dense people gathered at the same spot in the white house.
Yea, its called creative accounting … or fraud.
