Fascist othering in the digital age.
cdme··on El Salvador offers to lock up US criminals in its mega-jail
This administration doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt as it relates to anything.

The one thing this administration appears happy to outsource are human rights violations.
cdme··on Payments crisis of 2025: Not “read only” access anymore
It speaks to their experience, of which they have none. They and Musk lack the competence to be doing what they’re engaged in.

No, none of them are qualified. Elon isn’t either.
cdme··on Payments crisis of 2025: Not “read only” access anymore
Does Elon qualify as a foreign actor? He’s certainly malign.
cdme··on Payments crisis of 2025: Not “read only” access anymore
I dunno, maybe get an undergrad degree in a related field? I don’t think working as a bike repairman qualifies you.

Ranging from 19-24.

I’m not sure 19 year olds using gmail addresses are concerned with SOX.

Exactly — this isn’t good will. The only subsidies he cares about are his own. Though all involved don’t seem bright enough to realize that destabilizing the government, its finances and the perception of the dollar will have consequences for their own wealth.

How does this have anything to do with an erratic billionaire given free rein to illegally sabotage things?
cdme··on Payments crisis of 2025: Not “read only” access anymore
It’s hard to pass an audit when unfettered access has been granted to a billionaire without access and cronies installing unauthorized software and strong arming everyone they encounter.
cdme··on Payments crisis of 2025: Not “read only” access anymore
Ah yes, short form 4chan. It’s Elon’s blog — the remaining users are commenters.
cdme··on Payments crisis of 2025: Not “read only” access anymore
Yes, but the GOP senate and house members are unwavering sycophants. The Supreme Court has also been stacked.
cdme··on Payments crisis of 2025: Not “read only” access anymore
Of course not. They’re wreaking having based on Elon’s whims. Much like when he drove Twitter into the ground.
cdme··on Payments crisis of 2025: Not “read only” access anymore
Elon and his inexperienced cronies are the last people who should be trusted with any government access. They don’t even have clearance.
cdme··on Small plane crashes in Northeast Philadelphia
I can't see how Musk could possibly improve the FAA. He'll gut it and deflect blame.

$25 million for a dumpster that's caught on fire feels expensive.
cdme··on Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency
The system has been broken for a while, but that certainly made it clear. Reagan set in motion what led us to the current wealth disparity and Citizens United didn't help the state of things.

Greed, I suppose — or I suppose when you've stepped on enough people to get that rich you stop caring.

Musk should have nothing to do with governing. Period.
cdme··on Cointelpro
We aren't — the current administration is going to accelerate civil rights abuses not address them.
cdme··on US children fall further behind in reading
I dunno, a disparity in wealth exceeding that of the gilded age does seem like a significant issue.
cdme··on US children fall further behind in reading
America left the whole land of opportunity thing behind a while ago. It's more the land of struggle to get by and hope the rich don't trample you now.

Upward mobility is sold but rarely achievable.

cdme··on US children fall further behind in reading
Hah. I just don't want it in public schools. Attract people to your church and beliefs, don't use state power to force them on everyone. Thanks.
cdme··on US children fall further behind in reading
Dissolving the department of education and pushing (a single) religion in schools will be sure to accelerate the decline.
