> They need to move fast in order to replace the old system.

Why?

[mullingitover]

Pretty sure they’re doing this blitzkrieg because what they’re doing is illegal and if they don’t get it done quickly, they’ll get stopped by the courts and probably arrested.

replace the old system with what exactly? and why does it have to be done quickly?

[CyrsBel]

Upgrades should be sustainable, incremental, gradual, and reviewed. Especially for governance systems. If there's no existential risk requiring moving fast, then it's a bad idea to move fast on these things. Governments are not companies.

The Curtis Yarvin utopian fantasy is no government coupled with mythical "network states". An uncontrolled experiment that's cynically really to defang the government to lower all barriers for the rich making more money.

Before the courts can catch up, they lose power in the Senate or those affected can organise. There's also something to be said for disorienting your opponents. Plus it gets things done faster without dragging it out. It's wins all round.

GP: They absolutely will make something good out of it, but for their benefit not the average American.

[hamhock666]

It has to be done quickly because the administrative state is large and there is a lot to do. Institutions grow old with time and need drastic reform or replacement. I don’t know what they will replace everything with, ideally they have a bunch of smart people thinking about that. Look at how FDR used the Bureau of the Budget to similar effect.

Big Balls, man? Really? This dude is vetted to make this change? Come on.

The kid wouldn’t be an unpaid intern at most companies. He wouldn’t pass the HR screen.

Regardless of politics, they don’t have the credentials.
