11. Musk and the idiot Nazis in control of our federal government

Are using very typical corporate capitalist methods to run the government. They are merely using very common corporate management techniques that capitalist use to make profits off newly acquired businesses. They are treating government like a business.

The problem is that the consequences of stupid mistakes in business are not the same as stupid mistakes in government. If connections to a social media platform are bad, no one dies. If you get a pair of shoes that fall apart in a month, it won't kill you. But bad decisions in government because of poor training, mass layoffs that reduce your workforce to a ghost ship, and poor planning can and does kill people.

We need to put more democracy in corporate capitalism and not more capitalism in our democracy. This is why feudalism, dictatorships and oligarchies eventually turns their citizenry into poverty stricken drudges. The idiots in power think it's a business for them to make money off of.
