Or regulations increasing by 1000000whateverX and providing little to no real protection. For the Intel Community to be out of control, government itself probably has to be out of control in the first place. Can you think of some other way a corrupt IC would get its funding and legitimacy?



You asked for out of control.


The intel community is definitely out of control. They are unelected, and really do as they please apparently.


The US has its priorities out of whack though, I give you that. Like how defense spending is more important than education for instance. Like putting the most taxes on those who can’t afford it the most. But it’s not yet out of control. If it was, then you’d have to abandon all hope and move on.
