Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow

This has got that all too characteristic Dunning Kruger techbro energy regarding holistic synergistic disruption that is one of the key components of our current madness:

The Central Intelligence Agency on Tuesday became the first major national security agency to offer so-called buyouts to its entire workforce, a CIA spokesperson and two other sources familiar with the offer said, part of President Donald Trump’s broad effort to shrink the federal government and shape it to his agenda.

The offer — which tells federal employees that they can quit their jobs and receive roughly eight months of pay and benefits — had up until Tuesday not been made available to most national security roles in an apparent cognizance of their critical function to the security of the nation.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe personally decided he also wanted the CIA to be involved, one of the sources said.

The spokesperson said that the move is part of Ratcliffe’s efforts to “ensure the CIA workforce is responsive to the Administration’s national security priorities,” adding that is “part of a holistic strategy to infuse the Agency with renewed energy.”

Government by overpaid clueless consultants (two extra words in that sentence).

Which brings to mind this apercu from my very favorite bisexual princess, Erika the Radiant:

A marriage between real estate conmen, nutty fundamentalist Christians, militarists, and libertarian techbros is a marriage from Hell officiated by Satan himself – that they would do a Final Solution of the Gaza problem was as predictable as the tides since it offers something for all four factions

Yes those are indeed the main ingredients as everybody plays the fool, with a soupcon of white supremacy adding that ineffable je nais se quois to the neo-imperialist blancmange (these French cliches are symptomatic).

Oh my Lolita, I have only words to play with!
