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.
