From TFA:

"One, a senior adviser to the director, is a 21-year-old whose online resume touts his work for Palantir," per Wired, while another "who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024." A copy of the latter's resume include his summer internship with Musk's Neuralink, alongside jobs as — we assure you that we are not joking — a camp counselor and bike mechanic.

Can you imagine the damage to those kids' careers when the dust settles after the collapse of the American reich, when their resume reads:

2021-2024: high school
Summer of 2024: camp counselor
Autumn of 2024: bike mechanic
2025 -: destruction of the United States

Kinda hard to find a job with a resume like that...

Did Nestle also go under?

There's a difference between a corporation that can replace their board and the individuals on said boards.

These guys will be stuck working conservative and right wing shit the rest of their lives, they will become the next generation of grifters.
