Went on twitter today, it's all just people asking grok what is real and/or what to believe. Sad state of affairs.

These documents from the real past and the imagined future can help us better understand our present. The spectacle of wasteful government spending suddenly becomes logical. It is not stupidity that pays farmers to destroy their crops, or that purchases trillion dollar weapons systems that are never deployed or in some cases even completed, or that provides funding for studies of the sex life of the tsetse fly, or that gives grants to pornographers posing as artists. The overriding object behind most of these boondoggles is to waste the resources of the nation. It is obvious by now that the decline of living standards in the western world is associated with a widening gap between the haves and have nots. What is not so obvious, however, is that this is according to plan. To that end, massive waste in government spending is not an unfortunate by-product, it is the goal. -G.
