Somehow, we've built a political system that's so insane, that some people thinks it's treason for the president to fire a bureaucrat who serves at the pleasure of the president. This is not helped by a having a president wh takes positive glee in epic-level trolling on Twitter. The Media's favorite source for stories now is a fellow named "Anonymous Source", who seems really well-informed. Turkey launched a home-grown missile, so we got that going for us, because they can totally be trusted with missiles. Hackers launched a worldwide ransomware attack. We could fix a lot of computer scams like this. But we won't, because it would be slightly inconvenient.
