Empire is a hell of a drug. I had an ex insist "White Man's Burden" was satire despite repeatedly explaining why it wasn't. Then again, she also thought Nials Ferguson takes on WWI we're really good so that's saying something.

This administration is just treating the government as part of their business and in their world, no one would have known or cared about them doing this poo poo. Why couldn't they just stay in their own lanes and not come over to "public" service?

He's acting exactly as if the government was a business because everyone knows that the CEO/CFO takes the GIV on their vacations while anyone else that has to fly goes cattle-car.

Using the company plane for personal travel by having a client or someone deadhead for you so you can claim it as a business expense is a time honored executive scam. poo poo, they talk about it in Barbarians at the Gate.

MA-Horus posted:He's acting exactly as if the government was a business It's worth pointing out that the single, overriding and only reason for a business to exist is to extract as much profit as possible in ways both legal and not. So yeah, everyone wants to "run government like a business" and whaddya know that's ex-loving-actly what Trump is doing. Is it more profitable to break a law and pay the fine? loving do it! Got enough lawyers and cash to make a problem go away after you extract your payment from the situation? Welp! How this is supposed to result in good governance and not outlandish oligarchies like Russia where Putin's personal wealth is basically "Russia", is never exactly explained very well.

Lol not even that, they invented the walgreens fuckbox that they lock all the rubbers in, except they're locking everything in it now and you have to install their app to buy it. At least a vending machine has the decency to take your money and leave you alone. This robofuckbox is gonna be pushing ads to your phone for attention.

Kipling had a great grip on reality and the reality of colonial empire in particular. He was also fairly progressive towards the natives for the time and most of his writings are pretty admiring from what I can remember.
