They’re treating the government like a corporation treats a successful mom and pop company that it purchased.
It cuts down on everything in the name of “efficiency”. Firing essential workers, cutting their pay and benefits, reducing the quality of the goods/services it produces, and finding new ways to price gouge and piss off their customers.
While doing that they pay off the top echelon that orchestrated all of this with huge bonuses because they gave the impression of “growth” to the investors. Then what is left behind is a hollow shell of the company they originally bought that will slowly die but they couldn’t care less because they made their money already. It is legalized looting.
They’re gutting and looting the country. They will leave it broken and submerged in debt and they won’t care because they will have made their money already
This is exactly the way I’ve been viewing it–they’re liquidating all the assets of this country and selling off what remains for whatever they can negotiate. Even carving up national reserves at this point. This is exactly like all those leveraged buyouts we were witnessing a decade+ ago.
All the regulations and laws that kept their grubby fingers off all this stuff are long gone now, and the work it would take to restore them will never be completed before the damage is done… even if they could it would take many years to rebuild what was essentially dismantled in a series of months.
Just wait. We’re actively in the process of rolling back all emissions regulations. I’m not joking. The head of the EPA submitted for the endangerment finding to be revoked this week. That would completely dismantle any regulation involving a long list of harmful pollutants and basically destroy the value of the clean air act.
