I’ve asked myself how the capitalists have had moderate success forcing people (whose only job is to press buttons on a computer) back into an office. But I guess social control is all it takes

More awful and stupid bullshit. I guess I should be glad he’s being honest though, he’s proposing it not for collaboration or efficiency, but as an end run around employment protections to thin out staff. Love the DC mayor trying to get the govt to force RTO… everyone should suffer a commute so we can have more chain fast-casual eateries, yay!
I should amend my comment to say that even if ramaswamy doesn’t know it, he’s not really being honest though. The federal govt isn’t that inefficient. And his purpose isn’t to make it more efficient; it’s to degrade and destroy federal institution function.
Even the ghoul Larry Summers said attacking payroll is a losing battle, as it accounts for like 15% of the govt ledger, and that ledger is made of fun money to begin with. Sigh.
American politics is just a tower of dunning Kruger shit and pandering to calcified dunning Kruger bullshit.
Its a very particular flavor of shit.
I said it in another thread, but I believe that he's doing this to avoid giving any kind of benefits to federal employees by firing them and rehiring them through "private contractors" that will appear to get whatever little surplus there is to extract by squeezing the fired employees for.
And air pollution! Greenhouse gasses! Mangled bodies and unlivable cities! Fuck yes! More!
Edit: I'm really glad we're at least getting different flavors if fascism. Italian futurism is kind if my fav/least loathed. Glad to see, if we have to have fascism, that this is one of the strains we get. They at least have relatable kinds of fun while ruining everything.
Bowser is basically an appendage of the real estate developers in the area. I believe she endorsed Michael Bloomberg in 2020.
