Except the king of disinformation bought Twitter. And “we” not only keep using it en masse, but basically elected him as president.

I dunno about the rest of the world, but the US is way past the event horizon, and the chance of ever arresting people like this is less than zero.

This whole election is nuts. RFK Jr. is gonna gut the FDA and NIH so they have to outsource more and draw more lawsuits which will feed his own stupid advocacy firm, or he'll switch his company over to consulting and score millions more by outsourcing the FDA to his own workers. And Elon is obviously going to benefit himself. And Trump is gonna wreak havoc on the economy in the long run with his tariffs if he's being serious, and his border policies are a disaster... this isn't going to go well.

yeah that's what I just said. and its a bad idea. if you believe the government is inefficient, you don't just fire everyone lol. you work on a granular level to incentivize efficiency through policy adjustments.

The fact they're just planning on firing everyone is proof they're not interested in helping Americans. They just want to strain federal agencies to a point they have to outsource even more than they do. This way, these people retain power vai consultant firms etc. long after they step out of office.
