    My cope is that this is not gonna be some kind of coordinated Hitler-esque takeover that will end in nuclear hellfire but idiotic capitalists hollowing out the nation from the inside, causing everything to crumble miserably and end in a whimper, not a bang.

      I posted a video the other day about a theory that this is all a plan by tech billionaires to effectively break up the USA and turn it into a heap of smaller self governing techno-feudalistic city states. Im becoming more and more convinced.

        I’m rather bullish about the ability of associated communes in Turtle Island to fight off and defeat techno-feudalist city states.

    GSA regional managers last week received messages from the agency’s headquarters in Washington directing them to terminate the leases on all of the roughly 7,500 federal offices across the country, the Associated Press reported.

    According to the GSA website, PBS currently owns or leases an inventory of more than 8,800 assets, maintains more than 370 million square feet of workspace for 1.1 million federal employees, and preserves more than 500 historic properties.

    from 2023 employment data I found, there’s no way this doesn’t cripple the military

        lmao this would evict the FBI from their headquarters

        as well as DOGE, HUD, the border patrol, USAID (if it still exists), Homeland Security, and I suspect a few other departments

          I can’t tell but I think they own/lease every port of entry as well? This may or may not include major airports

            I don’t think they’re going to evict anyone, they’re just going to do IMF structural adjustment to themselves, and sell the property to a landlord they’re going to have to pay money to.

              It’s like they’re as surprised as us that their neck is not under a falling blade right now and are trying everything to make it happen

    I didn’t use the headline because it’s sensationalist clickbait which is typical of Newsweek. And I looked for a different, better source but google and google news gave me nada. Google and google news get more garbage-y by the day.
