Renewed my passport, and it was seamless using their portal. I was amazed. Are they now going to privatize everything?

There is no plan to privatize. The architect of Project 2025 (which is the source of the current movements in the executive branch) was written by a Christian Nationalist. He sees the current federal government as being secular/not conforming to Christian values. Thus he wants to dismantle the federal government by traumatizing the workforce. This, he believes, will allow for Christian nationalists to replace existing federal workers and bring about a supposed revival of Christian ideals in government.

Vought is the architect. Trump is the useful moron and Ilan is having one of his ketamine-induced autistic moments..

“You will own nothing and be happy.” includes public ownership through your government I guess.

Privatizing is a key step on the path to full oligarchy. So I would guess that yes.
