Hedge funds are paying top dollar
This seems to be the bigger red flag to me.
My girl friend works for FEMA and has been telling me that the private sector, i.e. hedge funds and government contractors are suddenly trying to hire people like her and offering 30% more than she makes now.
I bring this up because the oligarch plan now seems to be to drive out the people in government and replace them with private contractors and corporations. So basically we will be paying more for shittier service.
I know it’s the buzz word right now but it’s enshitification of the government. Drive all the competent people out, claim that government does work, replace the competent people with people who work for your buddy’s business and then your buddy gets richer while providing shittier service.
