  I think the implication is that democratic presidents are less likely to do dumb shit like this, which harms the economy.

    On the contrary, hopefully this gives the next democratic administration ammunition to take down big tech. Might as well classify Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple as supply-chain risks too with this logic. Too bad that Congress has abdicated their responsibility to the executive branch, no reason why Congress couldn't have more control over the Pentagon. The President only has legal authority to command forces, not control an entire institution; but this would require Congress actually doing their job and not justifying more corporate welfare forever.

    A lot of people love watching dumb shit, like watching reality tv. Crucially also they often love doing dumb shit. It's a privilege they don't want to give up, like pretending gravity doesn't apply to you.

      Can you imagine if the world ever actually achieved a state of utopia? Stupid people would burn it down within weeks just to have something to watch
