Summary
David Lebryk, the longest-serving career official at the U.S. Treasury, is resigning after a conflict with Elon Musk’s allies over access to a key government payment system.
Musk’s team has sought control of the system, which distributes $6 trillion annually in Social Security, Medicare, federal salaries, and other payments.
Traditionally, only career officials handle it.
Lebryk’s departure raises concerns, as he served under multiple administrations, including Trump’s, and was widely respected for his nonpartisan leadership.
His exit signals growing instability in financial governance.
Don’t resign you fucking cowards.
We didnt show up to stop this at the ballot box to kick the can of neoliberal mediocrity and capitalist servitude for one more cycle.
We’re too cowardly for necessary revolution to cut the capitalists down and make a constitution that guards against antisocial greed.
Why is it up to these career civil servants to Weekend at Bernie’s a 50 years dead corpse of a nation for us and face clearly extreme consequences for it?
We could have voted for continued quiet capitalist slaughter, I did out of the cowardice though that hardly matters, but we failed to. So loud, braggadocious slaughter it is.
At least there’s a silver lining in them dissecting and pillaging the rotted corpse. More will stop pretending this nation didn’t utterly, irrevocably fall under Reagan, which is good, because the leftover momentum has been a hindrance to revolution and making something just for future generations. Step zero is recognition of the situation.
You’d either have to be willfully ignorant (Republican voters) or clinically delusional not to acknowledge the United States has fallen as anything more than a military platform for expanding global capitalist exploitation and domination. It’s over. It’s been over. It’s so over that the vultures are busy doing what they do best to the carcass, which is what this story is reporting on. Get the net.
