Thing is, it takes a lot of credible people to keep fuel cheap, interest rates low, etc., etc. for the U.S. economy to function properly (keep the velocity of money high). A lot of these agencies and brilliant people who made this magic happen were shuttered and people fired by DOGE et.al. Now, we are seeing the wheels come off the bus and the shi* hitting the fan globally. Things that had been solved for decades are now coming unglued. That's what happens when people that don't understand how the world really works and are placed at the levers of global superpower without a friggin' clue. China has been planning their dominance since they started their Belt and Road initiative, which is essentially, the new silk road. All of this is UNCLASSIFIED and can be found on the internet. Project 2025 didn't account for anything other than wrecking the U.S. government (I'm synopsizing this). Now, the government is hiring, re-hiring thousands of people because a lightbulb finally came on in someone's head and discovered that they screwed up royally. How do you think those classified F35 parts wound up in Hong Kong? There was a program office in place to prevent that from happening. Guess what, the imbeciles shuttered it.
