What's It All About

Just re-running this point from this morning. They hoovered up everything, opening up the possibility (if not? actuality) of infinite abuses, and this is the best they can do.

I'm not a right wing "government workers are all idiots" person, but there's no reason to think that the people who have claimed immense powers for themselves are all that bright or competent either. They have powers and jobs to protect, and like some doctors they've convinced themselves that they're more important than God.

But mostly they're just barely competent idiots like the rest of us, except for the immense accountability-free power.
