Not sure what's hard to understand about this?
The part where "never buy a monitor again" sounds pretty good, when it seems like you're just buying one extra monitor to wear on your face.

Or, as many have suggested, it’s some limited meat for the base (much of it, see the birthright citizenship thing, will be held up in the courts or stopped outright) before two years of business as usual, the likely losing of the house and then an excuse for two more years of nothing before someone else is elected.
A few years ago all they had to look forward to was being cancelled from the internet, debanked, and left to post on 4chan while eating beans out of a can bought with pennies from a sock.
Things are looking up.

So what happened to never buying a monitor again? You're still going to own a regular screen for every use case where having it tied to your face isn't optimal (might want more than one person to see it, don't want to be blind to the world, etc.) plus this extra screen you tie to your face so you can pretend you're surfin' the cyberworld.

It's a small monitor you tie to your face. That's it. Unless your traveling businessman owns a laptop with no screen, he's actually buying an extra monitor.

this has been the dream of silicon valley and cyberpunk for several decades at this point
As far as I can tell this is essentially the entire reason the concept continues to even hang on at all despite the almost total lack of any meaningful use case outside of some niche video game crap. Ask what business purpose the technology serves and maybe you hear something about virtual meetings. Ask why anyone would bother when Zoom and the like already exist and you hear crickets. It's a solution looking for problems that don't exist.
I don't know if I'm necessarily That Guy, really... but you know, ahem ahem, cough cough... it does sort of look like one of the two American political factions had certain elements of itself turn on the Jews and was cast down more or less instantly for its trouble. Meanwhile the other faction can have one of its standard-bearers spaz out and look like he's sieg heiling in public and the ADL will run defense for him as long as Israel keeps getting bombs and the campus "anti-semites" get deported.
Just saying. It's not not what happened. No I don't care who 70% of dentists and divorce lawyers voted for.
