    They’re applying the techbro startup “move fast and break thing” motto, which can be a good strategy while you’re small to disrupt the established players.

    Not souch when you’re a behemoth like the goverment that can’t adjust its trajectory on a whim when facing an imminent collision, and the general public ends up with the short stick while the oligarchs picks up the pieces of a self-sabotaging system.

      I hear this one a lot, but the purpose of the “move fast and break things” methodology is to make things better. In some cases, that does work, and it’s usually applied with benefit in mind.

      Shock and awe might be more appropriate. Do as many things as possible to stun the population, so only the dedicated will push back.
