We’re as freaked out and angry as everyone else.
My bosses, and my bosses’ bosses, don’t have answers to any of our questions. Nobody knows who is in charge, though the leadership level of our parking garage is suddenly filled with Teslas.
Musk is initiating a hostile takeover of the essential functions of government. He has boots on the ground. Trump is a conman and a clown, but Musk is a clear and present danger to the country.
This is a shock and awe operation to paralyze all resistance. I sincerely hope it isn’t working.
Someone somewhere in one of those agencies should have arranged for Musk to have an accident. The fact that he is still breathing tells me that all the alphabet agencies have been compromised. The Secret Service showed that they were all-in on supporting Trump by deleting all their phone data surrounding the Jan-6 insurrection rather than turning it over to congressional investigators. Now, the inaction of the rest of our intelligence and national security agencies in this time of crisis makes them complicit in this new attack. They were the last line of defense against this sort of assault. Democracy has fallen.
If you expect any US government agency to save us from tyranny then you are going to be disappointed. It is bad now, but it was just as bad during every war, 9/11, Suffrage, Civil Rights, etc. the cold hard truth is it has always been really bad.
We are an empire in decline and apparently those in charge have a plan. Suppress people and become imperialist again. What is a little more human suffering if there is money to be made. Our one true god.
Stop saying we’re an empire in decline. I don’t want to hear the truth.
Fair enough, I don’t like it either. But leaning hard into imperialism and invading Canada, Panama, and Greenland is not palatable to me.
Why can’t we work together to enjoy what we have left or invent something new. This is the real travesty to me.

I am with you 100% on this brother.
