I like to discuss heavier topics in this semi-humorous manner. Sort of like a joke, but still kinda serious.

If another country wanted to shift the balance of power, this is exactly what they would want USA to do. If you can’t beat them in war, you have to play the long game and start dismantling your enemy from the inside.

Dismantling safety nets, regulation and government involvement in general, while encouraging rampant capitalism appears to be their main goal here. Are these politicians trying to make Cyberpunk a reality? It seems to be working.
