My personal experience is that the Justice Department and it's investigative arm - the F.B.I. - have always been deceptively abusive, sometimes even engaging in illegal behaviors.
This is echoed in numerous news articles and historical accounts.
They are now notably worse--even to their own.

4. would rationally be changed to eliminate the 3%, leaving only C.P.I.
Congress has long done a poor job, as they typically mirror the average poorly informed constituent that elects them, not the thoughtful and well informed minuscule minority. An ethically impoverished mathematical equation.

Agree with Harbinger:
It does not seem like five months since Gabe left California.
The bunny boiler dilemma is one of innumerable examples that almost all humans evade, minimize, distort, misdirect, or deny truth, science, reality, facts, and reason to (varying but still) substantial degrees.

Food for the unusually thoughtful:
I am a political independent for a number of reasons.
Large groups - eg: religious, political, or even informal groups with cultural beliefs around sexuality - get large by appealing to a low, average denominator.
Not by appeal to the thoughtful & well informed.

Not a fan of ideological, anti-rational, willfully blind, politicult nut jobs like Musk or Tiedrich. Regardless of which side of the political spectrum they're on.
Both blocked my social media accounts because they dislike unpleasant realities.
They both go out of their way to be expletives.

Burns did your jobs better than you.
You both deserve credit for wisely letting him roll with minimal interruptions.
Also kewl that Harbinger had sidekick Mizrahi in on this one, to indulge Mizrahi's movie making aspiration.
I notice Burns exhibits a major blind spot Harbinger used to have.
