You think the social media propaganda machines all grinding into gear to pump out pro-trump propaganda isn't going to help his popularity?

I envy your positivity

It's especially annoying as someone who had blocked 196 in order to scroll through All and not be completely swamped by mediocre memes. Had to block 2 more communities all of a sudden.

Ehh, no. WSJ has always been conservative. They just hide it somewhat behind the pretense of being business/market oriented.

On the other hand, stability is the main draw of any government job. Without the guarantee of continued employment, most people wouldn't want to put up with the lower pay and extremely slow career advancement prospects of government work.

So who will they hire? People who can't get any other job, e.g. even more incompetent people.

Same as most autocracies. The system of incentives lines up such that the innermost circle gets absurdly over-rewarded in order to not turn on the leader. In other words, it's corruption by design in almost all autocratic systems, and even when the autocrat manages to avoid that, regression towards the mean means it ends up that way within a couple generations at best.

Lions tend to be bad enough at hunting that that is their population control lever.

As a software engineer, it still blows my mind that any software people take him seriously at all after the way he handled Twitter. He literally asked programmers to print out the code they'd written in the last 6 months so he could fire whoever wrote the fewest lines.

Dude has no fucking clue how any of it works.
