Summary

Billionaires like Marc Andreessen, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy are spreading false claims to discredit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a federal agency protecting consumers from fraud and abuse.

Andreessen falsely accused the CFPB of politically motivated “debanking,” despite no evidence.

This rhetoric aligns with the “DOGE” project, led by Musk and Ramaswamy, which aims to slash government regulations and programs under the guise of efficiency.

Critics warn this effort will harm public services, benefit billionaires, and push privatization at the expense of ordinary Americans.

    The government you’re a part of, and the society you’re a part of, continues to perpetuate rape, torture and murder, despite on paper being illegal and, in polite company, being generally considered unacceptable - as shown by the links previously posted, which detail instances of state-sanctioned torture, murder, societal misogyny, et cetera. That’s my point.
