The federal health apparatus now resembles a dumpster fire managed by plague rats. 3,600 experts axed mid-outbreak while Elon’s efficiency goons pivot pandemic prep into shareholder value. Kennedy’s HHS? A clown car of anti-vax grifters dismantling disease surveillance as measles spreads faster than Truth Social memes.
This isn’t governance—it’s a controlled demolition Probationary scientists canned for “performance” while agribusiness jacks egg prices? Peak late-stage capitalism, where public health bows to private profit. Recruitment’s collapsing because who signs up to be scapegoated by conspiracy theorists? The system’s not broken. It’s working exactly as designed: incompetence as policy, chaos as spectacle.
controlled demolition is a nice way to put it. there’s not much control about it
