Kinda confirms to me that the current admin's strategy is to destroy as much as possible and only address the squeaky wheels on a case-by-case basis.
The small handful of things that we fight back against and win won't outweigh the sheer amount of damage they do to things we have less awareness of. A single win, no matter how large or trivial, will sate the general public for a time and give them the calmness the admin needs to keep moving forward.
Pretty sure this is a military strategy and probably has a name. Inundate your enemy with so many events they spread themselves too thin to address everything coming at them.
They're applying the techbro startup "move fast and break thing" motto, which can be a good strategy while you're small to disrupt the established players.
Not souch when you're a behemoth like the goverment that can't adjust its trajectory on a whim when facing an imminent collision, and the general public ends up with the short stick while the oligarchs picks up the pieces of a self-sabotaging system.
Move fast and break people
Time to watch Glass Onion again.
I hear this one a lot, but the purpose of the "move fast and break things" methodology is to make things better. In some cases, that does work, and it's usually applied with benefit in mind.
Shock and awe might be more appropriate. Do as many things as possible to stun the population, so only the dedicated will push back.
