Bezos is no friend or ally of democracy.
No ally can trust us now, no matter who we elect next.
Our kids will leave to pursue science, engineering and art in other countries, impoverishing us further.
The loss of safety regulations and climate weather personel is a heartbreaking travesty.
The brain drain will be utterly staggering when the full picture can be more clearly seen, since it takes time to relocate (as I know well).
Now we live in a demon haunted land.
Fuck Bezos.

Sounds insane? Irrelevant, because they're going to attempt it anyway. The worst outcomes won't be theirs.
And the damage is accelerating...
Do what doge has done, will result in certain failure in my experience.

1. No one with any sense will want to come.
2. Anyone with any sense will evaluate leaving.
When tenured professors at Yale, for example, think they're better off elsewhere...

That's really covering the news in a "timely" fashion, you GO, WaPo! 😖
And there's millions in the US who don't even know it's disappearing, yet. They're getting out swimming suits and flip-flops, checking their cellulite, and talking about where they're going to vacation on the 4th.
And the old computer-illiterate fart he bought for a few ten million has been enormously helpful.
It's precisely what you would want to attack if your goal is to destabilize the society and system of government, so that you can install the versions you want.

lol. I almost typed that out without laughing.
Sending you my strength, courage, love, healing, and light. You use them as long as you need! 💖
DOGE is working to clear the brain trust's resistance to the musk-trump dictatorship's goal to steal taxpayer dollars.
This report is a month late. Musk is out and Thiel is in. Their plan is on schedule.
Everyone is focused on the past and no one is paying attention to the P2025 goal.
Reporting on Thiel would be beneficial!
Meet the new head of DOGE...
Yes, him.

Loser-y? Yes
His only goals are to stay out of jail and get richer.
If he has to sell out of America to our enemies. If he has to hurt Americans in the process.
He’ll do it in a heartbeat.
Incompetent managers hire down. They do this so they can consolidate control, never be out shown.
They hopefully also interviewed their boss to get the skinny on why the tech bros like him were all in on DOGE in order to destroy government services.
Stop worrying about his parade and pay more attention to the destruction of our democracy.
Be fierce, be brave!
SO, IS GOVT CORRUPT?
IT IS NOW, BECAUSE OF MAGA GOP. OUST THEM WITH NO EXCUSES MIDTERM! There is now, NOTHING GREAT about ...1
The best and brightest from around the world will stay away
while Americans will seek opportunities elsewhere
(Not that “souls” are a real thing.)
Beyond that, Trump is demanding unquestioning loyalty and obsequiousness.
That is going to inversely correlate with competence. Just look at his cabinet.
Musk fires and closes departments investigating his corporations.
Musk brings in his personal DODGE goon squad to mine our data from Social Security and Medicare.
Tesla, Starlink and SpaceX all have contracts with our US government.

This is not a legitimate government, but an unconstitutional regime bent on the destruction of the

We can only follow the example of the colonists who expressed their dissatisfaction with various acts of rebellion.
They’re jockeying for secondary power.
Not gonna praise the asshole for printing the truth.
It’s not going to ever be a good outcome for 99.9% of U.S. citizens. The other 0.1% can simply jet ✈️ to more pleasant countries 🤑
What the hell does that mean? “Uncorks” would have made more sense.. “uncoils” sounds like they are resolving a “brain drain”.
