    Libertarians are often compared to house cats. They are dependent on a system they don’t understand at all. They actively and deliberately want to destroy the state and the consequences are very predictable. It’ll be somewhat entertaining to watch from a distance, except that if the US go down, we all go with them.

    Musk and Ramaswamy also suggest that Trump could impose rules like requiring federal employees to return to the office five days per week, which they say could bring “voluntary terminations” they would welcome. “If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home.”

    This is probably the least destructive proposal, but it highlights the mentality of a typical narcissist CEO.

        They will also propose giving up office space and making everyone “hotel” with no assigned desks.

    This clown show just keeps getting better. Fuck these fucking fuckers. Gut the largest employer in the US and see what happens to tax revenue further destroyed by tariffs that makes even the cheapest Chinese shit an unaffordable luxury.

    To quote Gracchus from the movie Gladiator, “He’ll bring them death and they’ll love him for it.”

    To quote Batman" You wanna get nuts? Let’s get nuts!"

    Grifting destabilization at its finest.
