A great many experts in the military, medicine, disaster relief, and cybersecurity { the list goes on } were fired. It's almost as if the nation were being weakened on purpose. Don't get mad, get Vlad. Or just prepare for the long-desired Rapture.[0] and which politicians seem to be working very hard to being about (the Apocalypse part, anyway) [0] https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/29/us/iran-israel-evangelicals-prophecy-cec https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/29/us/iran-israel-evangelicals-p... > Prophecy, not politics, may also shape America’s clash with Iran So, is prophecy OK in a pitch deck? Asking for a friend.

Its both dumber and more dangerous than that. Competent people are not valuable to governments that value loyalty more than competence.

  "Competent" people are not valuable and over rated because they will flake out in such jobs when the group holds them responsible for all sorts of things they have no control over. They are the first people who recognize lumits. Their own, their teams and the systems. But people dont want to hear about Limits. They want saviors and messaihs. They want fantasy and magic. So the system runs not optimized for efficiency but illusion of control, for damping of anxieties and fears.

    Over 90% of my managers got into their positions by either stabbing someone in the back, or walking across their dead body.

      That's how hierarchies work. It's an circumstantial constraint. Some people just keep trying to make hierarchies permanent for whatever reason.

For real, I wouldn't be shocked if Trump drafted everyone between 18 and 42, sent them all to Iran and then let Israel nuke Iran

  No, I’m convinced the one thing that Trump wants to do is to launch a nuke before he dies. That’s what he wants his legacy to be. and his name everywhere.

  No. DRAFT ICE! • They are already "trained" (in random violence against civilians. Checks one box) • Bonespur "victims" have already been weeded out. • They are already government employees and must go where assigned. (saves TONS of paperwork) • They already have weapons, and unspent budget money. • They already have swell masks to protect from radioactive dust that bombing reactors creates, and (this is big) • Their kill to loss ratio is infinite. Oh, and ... • It's them or Barron.

Yes, the “experts” like the head of the HHS that was a lawyer and former DA in California.
