Why this unvetted person(s) has been allowed to even touch or access critical systems speaks volumes about the state of US government.

We are at the neoliberal endgame. Billionaires and multibillion dollar corporations received massive tax cuts during the first term, and this will likely continue under the second term. He’s going all out for this billionaire donors, buddies, and of course himself. We have a kleptocracy at the federal level with the intent to dismantle it as much as possible.

End game here is federal/people control end, and “network states” (balaji) model with corporations acting as governance over land, regions, and law.

Thiel and the rest of the billionaire class are the parasites that need to be purged. Whether we will recover after 4 years remains to be seen.
