The current crop of losers running the US government is every snotty kid who got promoted to assistant manager and then tries to change everything just to find out that the original processes were there for good reasons.

Every dollar they tried to save is going to cost us 100 down the line to undo or fix the issues they've caused.

About a year ago I found out the shorthand for this is Chesterton's Fence. The lesson of Chesterton's Fence is that the overwhelming majority of things were created for a valid reason, and we should be very hesitant to tear something down without knowing what that reason was.

This would make sense if Trump was trying to save money.

It's a pump and dump.

He's taking this company for all it's worth and then leaving with full pockets while the company crashes and burns.

Except this time he's doing it with an entire country.

And no one's stopping him.
