They’re just disrupting governance by upleveling inefficient “budgeting” and “oversight” to a blockchain-driven web3 AI powered crypto GaaS (government as a service) product called F.A.R.T.S, or the Federal AI Recurring Transaction System. FARTS will take your dollars and give it directly to four billionaires, cutting out the inefficient “procurement” process we use now to funnel taxpayer money to rich demons.

It doesn’t matter, that’s not the point. The point is precisely that it’s not part of the government. It’s the manifestation of the sort of private capture that has made Musk so rich. They are explicitly taking a governmental responsibility - managing the budget - and moving it out of the government. Away from oversight, away from regulation, with unclear (and therefore definable by them) power and authority, free from any obligation to actually DO anything.

The obvious racism of this aside this is a direct consequence of data brokers and surveillance capitalism making it trivial and cheap to send out texts to minority women in Detroit. That’s an insane thing. Someone probably paid a pittance for these targeted texts.

Why are you people downvoting this lol

I’m with you but it’s time to acknowledge that the Democratic Party and liberalism have failed. We need to offer a genuine, starkly contrasting vision for the future that is wholly different. We can’t be GOP lite and the party of “not Trump.”

That’s why they are “employing” them as spokespeople. They are not paying them to register. They are paying them to represent the PAC, and the job is only available to registered voters in some states.

Still slimy and still questionably legal but not obviously in violation of that statute

Which instance?

Oh I misread that…call it election nerves. My bad

ackshuyally

This is /c/politicsmemes holy shit lol

Drat. Thanks 😂

Does this imply that if I am standing on an object moving at a constant speed in a straight line, and I am lifting and dropping a sufficiently massive object such that I’m causing the object in standing on to accelerate towards the object I’m dropping, that eventually I’ll slow or stop the object I’m standing on?
