The ultimate game. Get into a position of power, work for free, your work is to guarantee you come out richer. Hire employees for "your" agency that is just a rebranded agency that already exists so no paperwork need be filed. Then, sound like a person of authority while "advising" said agency. Command those gullible 18-21-year-old kids to do unspeakable acts they're too young and immature to comprehend.
Kids end up being charged with the actionable crime, free "advisor" dude parachutes out the window to collect his solidified tax breaks.
Oh, no, no, no. We're too old for this. If any action is to happen it needs to be done to Elon. We're not stupid. We know where these orders descend from.
Oh sure, let us actually have choice in action. I'm speaking about how the Old Laws worked in the Long Long Ago. Now that there is no law, the hilarious part is that these old codgers that made this world domination plan forgot that law doesn't matter when it comes down to it. Program a Tesla to explode while driving, why not? Random snipers on the way to work? Why not? McDonalds burger full of cyanide, why not? I'm not suggesting any evil action here, I just find it supremely funny that these idiots made a football play on America and the one thing they missed, which is the one thing the Republinazis always miss, is that rules are for all. When rules for thee vs me tease out, shit goes south real fast. They think the very laws they are dismantling will somehow let them be safe at the same time.
The supreme hypocrisy of the under-educated is what it boils down to. America's Golden Shower Age.
Fun fact theres some evidence that the reason that Soissons was able to last so long while most of the other Roman holdouts collapsed is because they were able to avoid overt levels of favoritism under the law. Mind you this is Roman frontier law so it just meant folks got crucified equally.
Perhaps in a more rational timeline. We're fucked.
I hate to be so pessimistic but I'm feeling overwhelmed lately.
