This is wild. Trump administration gave a bunch of young adults access to decide about millions and millions of tax money. No guardrails, no checks, no competence.

It's not wild. This was in the news while it was happening. It was all remarked upon and leaked. If you're just now catching on, I'm very sorry to say you're a major part of the problem
It's wild, but not new. I also live in Europe and I am not an US citizen of which at least 50% are part of the problem.
This is a consequence of fascism's adoption of AI and its utter contempt for expertise. Why would we need to hire experts when the robot is magical and all you need to do is ask it like you would ask a genie?

Up and down the Trump admin (and beyond) we see this breathless adoption of AI as if it is already some sort of God.
