An efficiency department that apparently needs two leaders, as well. Sounds...inefficient.

IRS, EPA, FDA, OSHA, probably the FBI, the DoL, DoE, DoEd...

Yeah, let's not forget that Trump learned his negotiating skills, partially, from the Mafia. I'd definitely do a double take on my principled stance if the guy who's been calling for my head since I started is taking supreme executive power, and will likely have a bullet with my name on it if I don't get out quick.

Phones are arguably some of the most powerful consumer cameras ever built. That Nikon or Canon might have more funny buttons and settings, but your phone camera is pretty powerful on its own.

For those thinking "well this couldn't include things like the military", it ABSOLUTELY CAN AND WILL. The GOP wanted someone who will run the country like a business, AND THIS is how business is run now - absorb a company, strip it for parts to sell off, move onto the next company, repeat. "The next company" here being, likely, another country.

We had one, yes, but what about second Haymarket Massacre?

The MIC wants another war with the US being directly involved this time. Rule of Acquisition 34: war is good for business.

Yeah, but all that won't matter. I'm sure that Trump will simply eliminate large swathes of the DoD, purely because he wants himself to be closest to the actual command structure. All that squad-level command, the "organized chaos" that gives us a lot of tactical flexibility? I'm fairly sure that'll be gone, because Trump doesn't trust anyone but him giving orders now. He's deeply upset he couldn't simply order the military into cities to break up the 2020 protests, so he wants to be the first and only important link in the command chain, with everyone below selected for loyalty, not competence.

Or they, themselves, might wind up getting deported or killed. We've successfully eroded class and even group consciousness.

Not unless they keep the regulation that ACA established where you need to be covered at a certain level. That way insurance companies can literally just collect money and not actually have to pay for anything.

Either money, or threats. Trump learned his politics from the Mob - you play nice, but when the chips are down, women and kids aren't off the table, so to speak.

"Official act." That's all it'll take, I'm calling it now.
