Yes. And they plan to severely reduce the population. With the tinkering with the payment system,
We can expect to see no more Medicare or Medicaid or any help for the poor. No more social security, no more fed or veteran pensions.
No more pay for active duty military or Feds.
The economy will crash, tens of millions of us will die, and then there are the pandemics and lack of medicine, vaccines, and warnings.
This is the end, not only of the US, but of most of us as well.
Seen on r/fednews, sharing for a laugh (humor helps us deal with all this stress.)
Hey chat, what happens when you try to force 300 million people into being impoverished vassals of feudal tech bros when they have a culture of violence, a creation myth of violently resisting authoritarianism and relatively inexpensive access to magic fire sticks that can put down an elk at 700+yards? Is it good?
I love R/Nova on Reddit. Also r/fed workers.

https://open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/a-new-kind-of-coup-trump-and-musk?r=p3e2a&utm_medium=iosExcerpt:
When I wrote my 2017 CNN essay, “Trump and Bannon’s Coup in the Making,” that described Donald Trump’s intent to give power to “a small group of loyal insiders, who take orders directly from the leader’s inner circle and…bypass those of the existing federal government and party bureaucracies,” Musk was not on my radar. Today, Musk would replace Steve Bannon in the title.
What is happening now builds on classic authoritarian dynamics as I described them in Strongmen and in many essays for Lucid. There is always an “inner sanctum” that really runs the show, with its mix of family members and cronies, some with histories of working with or for foreign powers. And there is almost always a purge of the federal bureaucracy. That is now being carried out on a mass scale.
I think this editorial by Timothy Snyder might provide important insight into current events
And what may happen next.

Excerpt:
They see themselves as the servants of the freedom of the chosen few, but in fact they are possessed, like millennia of tyrants before them, of fantastic dreams: they will live forever, they will go to Mars. None of that will happen; they will die here on Earth, with the rest of us, their only legacy, if we let it happen, one of ruins. They are god-level brainrotted.
The attempt by the oligarchs to destroy our government is illegal, unconstitutional, and more than a little mad. The people in charge, though, are very intelligent politically, and have a plan. I describe it not because it must succeed but because it must be described so that we can make it fail. This will require clarity, and speed, and coalitions. I try to capture the mood in my little book On Tyranny. Here are a few ideas.
Another one I think is worth reading (describes Putin’s plan and goals) is this one.

Well, this must have been an...interesting....email to receive from OPM.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14345123/Federal-employees-email-Trump-vile-NOAA.htmlOver 13,000 federal employees reportedly received an abusive email concerning President Trump, after officials rolled out a new broadcast system.
All of those currently employed with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) received the email with the subject header 'Resign', according to Mediaite.

Pilot on twitter says this appears to be the most likely explanation for the collision.
Took screenshots so I would not need to link to twitter.
