Asha Sharma Assigned To Federal Reserve’s ‘Productivity And Jobs’ Task Force The Same Week She Oversaw 1,600 Layoffs (With Another 1,600 To Come)

https://aftermath.site/xbox-asha-sharma-federal-reserve-task-force-layoffs/

Sharma used to be president of Microsoft’s CoreAI product, and I guess she still is at heart. She’ll be joined by venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and Stanford economics professor Charles I. Jones (who is, notably, on leave to work at Anthropic) . Other Federal Reserve task forces will center around communications, balance sheet policy, data, and inflation frameworks.

Man, this is some serious Onion level bullshit...Given how fucked the US government is, it's credible that all of this is going down. So many moving targets to protest, advocate against, and bully representatives over. Worse, there is so little time in the day to do all of this, but I will fucking try!

Muddy the waters, flooding the zone, all so they can rob us in broad daylight

I know that "flood the zone" is a specific, named tactic, but for the purposes of this administration and for other historical reasons, we might want to start calling it "filling the swamp".

Yep, the key is finding and disrupting the worst legislation and dealing with the petty shit post Trump. As this slime bag is going to have a lot of little annoying things passed before he dies in office.
