i find this notion that public spending is illegitimate bizarre as a matter of economics but totally legible as a statement of moral economy. and as per any strict system of morality, the punishment is part of the appeal. they are punishing the american people for believing in the public good.
Keep this in mind: The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II was carried out by executive order—from the President of the United States. 🧵

Musk wasn't elected and didn't get appointed to any positions inside the government. So why does he, or anybody who works for him, have any access to any government systems or facilities?
“My only regret is they should have brought rifles,” said Rhodes. “We should have brought rifles. We could have fixed it right then and there. I’d hang fucking [then-Speaker Nancy] Pelosi from the lamppost." -Elmer Stewart Rhodes, whose Seditious Conspiracy conviction was commuted by TheFelon

Well well well: if it isn't the consequences of my own actions.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov · 2y agoIt’s clear that more time is needed to find an American buyer for TikTok. We will continue working to keep TikTok alive, protect content creators’ livelihoods, protect against CCP surveillance, and protect national security. I will work with the Trump Admin to find a solution.
If people knew how often health corporations overcharged taxpayers, their heads would spin. I worked on one case where they were gouging active duty service members by overcharging for breast pumps. Just one of thousands of examples media.defense.gov/2023/Jul/31/...
