its not partisan politics when both partisan parties increase their use of palantir
the actual partisan politics of freedom and making the government's job harder is entirely left out of the politics
when the billionaires own all of the politicians, thats not particularly surprising
Is making the government's job hard a good thing? If medicare delivers care half as good as it could have been, that's a good thing? If fraudsters go unchecked because the FBI is stymied, is the country better off?
>Is making the government's job hard a good thing?
Maybe. The government performing its functions more is not necessarily a good thing. What if the government has decided that some of its functions involve torturing prisoners, or disappearing people?
It's strange that you would ask this question like the answer would be an uncontroversial no.
