I can feel the efficiency flowing down from the mountaintops. So efficient.

Authoritarian regimes are very efficient. No need to worry about who you hurt, be slowed down by rules, laws, science, expertise, conflicts of interest...it all just goes away. You either have power or you don't. It's ruthlessly efficient.

It'll be fun watching many of the small, midsize and even large corps learn what their lower-taxes-at-all-costs fealty has won them. They, arrogantly, of course all assume they're part of the "in group" that will never feel the pain from the changes. Legal recourse when you get fucked? Oh that's gone, sorry legal rights were to inefficient. FTC? Sorry, that was evil, remember?
