If that’s the assertion you think I made, we’re not speaking the same language. Of course we’re rightly upset. But this article should have been more than mere ragebait.
I’m taking issue with the article itself and that it doesn’t reach the right conclusion (or really any conclusion). With the notion that it’s ok at all for the government to be in a position where the whim of a shitbird, wannabe dictator toward a private person needs to be tempered against their business interests.
In a way, Trump is right (for the wrong reasons of course) that these contracts should be reviewed. It’s utterly unacceptable to be backed into a “too big to fail” corner with a single company, especially when it comes to national security.
I’m disappointed that an article from Mother Jones didn’t rail against this obvious and glaring issue with plutocracy/oligarchy: what the hell happens when the the next bromance dies and there aren’t any sanity checks left? Instead, because it’s missing, the article effectively further entrenches the notion that privatization of every aspect of government is right and good.
