Full frontal assault. This is what we’re witnessing. It’s not at all about saving us money, or being more efficient. Besides, “efficiency” sounds like a word pulled directly out of Elon’s ass, or maybe out of some Nazi code word manual, in service of creating that convenient, tongue-in-cheek acronym.
This is the Heritage Foundation and its ilk realizing the long dreamed-of vision for an America they’d prefer to see. Where the rich get richer and hold all the cards, and the rest of us are shmucks who they really couldn’t care less about. It’s certainly not the America the founders envisioned or risked their lives for. Bannon, Vought, Vance, Roberts and the rest most likely treat all that history as so much sentimentality and idealism that have no place in their more “realistic” understanding of human nature.
It seems there will always be people with motives in the sewer, people who give up too easily, who surrender to the usual siren songs of merit and power and money. Same old shit, except now it’s getting personal. It’s happening where it wasn’t supposed to happen.
