You do realise that many people (significantly more since covid in fact) are on benefits because we can't work, right? And it's those benefits (disability, employment support) that are getting the worst cuts.

So you're not technically wrong, but your solution also doesn't help those of us most targeted.

Critics argue that the agency’s work with a lobbying group is a conflict of interest.

Then these critics don't understand the relationship between state and capitalism, because it is in fact serves both parties interests quite well, by design.

The state doesn't exist for the benefit of society.

I personally downvoted it because it's a terrible idea, op wants to leave the US, not sign their life and soul away to it.

The idea that someone just stumbles their way in to a presidency is wild. It's also ableist to blame his bigotry and oppressive actions on how intelligent you think he is, that has nothing to do with it.

So I'll reiterate - the fact that anyone can still think that what's happening is accidental or not thought out is frankly more than concerning, it's scary.

These people are following a playbook, they've got their own playbook for fucks sake, and they will do as much damage as they fucking can deliberately and with forethought. Pretending otherwise because it's easier to punch down and dismiss him as "dumb" than to confront the reality of things and punch up at a much bigger and scarier target is counterproductive.

Trump – too dumb to know that water doesn’t flow uphill.

The fact that people still think he doesn't know what he's doing (or his advisers, anyway) is concerning. None of this is accidental, it is all about manipulation of the food supply and economy, and deliberately worsening living conditions for most people to make us even easier to exploit and oppress.

Yup, and in his specific case not just for profit, but for a place at the "big boys table" along with who I can only assume are his idols, musk and zuc.
