   Yeah, I suspect that the more likely consequence, as you pointed out, will   
   be dystopia and not betterment.  We don't need to look much further than   
   DOGE to see that.  The empowerment to break societal norms may break   
   society itself.   
      
   Every time I hear or read something about this, I wonder if these   
   numbskulls ever read or watched any sci-fi.  The Twiligh Zone and the Outer   
   Limits alone should have taught them some lessons in not doing what they   
   are attempting.

   That is very ironic.  Hopefully, the judge will note that irony while   
   hearing the case.
