Here's an hour-long video which I think is definitely worth watching. Note that while I'm confident that Jesus is who he said he was, the guy being interviewed is *not* a christian and doesn't see himself becoming one. But he makes a lot of very interesting points: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfXG...

There are myriad reasons why government systems access is compartmentalized and difficult to access by default. Many thanks to this DOGE brat for reminding people why these environments are the antithesis of “move fast and break things”.
