Yes: when you start by saying the institutions are the problem -"there is lots of waste in government/media does seem biased/higher ed doesn't defend free speech"- you are adopting the frames of the authoritarian. They don't want efficiency, or unbiased coverage, or free speech! They want control!

This is why we have debt. It’s tax cuts for the wealthy not programs for tbe poor. There are more sources and you can find them easily online. www.americanprogress.org/article/tax-...

Tax Cuts Are Primarily Responsible for the Increasing Debt Ratio

Without the Bush and Trump tax cuts, debt as a percentage of the economy would be declining permanently.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

@elonmusk: Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week.
Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.

Not a great time for citizens who have chosen to serve their country by working in government, when the current leaders have nothing but contempt for your very existence. I have an idea, run for office against a Republican who is enabling it - which is all of them.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

It's no coincidence that Musk's companies are soaring in value as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing them are being gutted. The DOGE agenda isn't about "efficiency" — it's about Musk freeing himself from any accountability so he can line his pockets.
