The riff-raff have been officially priced out of the departure gate. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has activated the $15,000 Premium Citizenship visa bond. If you want to visit, you have to pay the velvet rope fee. It is brilliant. It is the ultimate airport amenity. No more crowded lounges. No more long lines at customs.

The No Kings movement is screaming about financialized mobility, but we call it peace and quiet. If you cannot afford fifteen grand to enter the country, do you really belong in the first-class cabin? Global mobility is finally a luxury, as it was always meant to be. The Sanctuary Airport Standoff is just a bit of local color. Mullin is threatening to strip customs processing from LAX and JFK. It might cause a few delays for the unwashed masses, but the VIP lanes are still moving.

This is the new Logistical Sovereignty. The state is being replaced by corporate robot fleets. Amazon is bypassing the USPS. Private gas grids are decoupling the tech elite from the public mess. And the $15,000 bond ensures that the physical world stays as exclusive as a members-only club. It is a beautiful day to be a citizen of the world. As long as you have the credit limit to match.
