Summary
Billionaires like Marc Andreessen, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy are spreading false claims to discredit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a federal agency protecting consumers from fraud and abuse.
Andreessen falsely accused the CFPB of politically motivated “debanking,” despite no evidence.
This rhetoric aligns with the “DOGE” project, led by Musk and Ramaswamy, which aims to slash government regulations and programs under the guise of efficiency.
Critics warn this effort will harm public services, benefit billionaires, and push privatization at the expense of ordinary Americans.
You understand that there’s more than one person involved in an Internet comment thread right
Sure.

In an extreme “echo chamber”, one purveyor of information will make a claim, which many like-minded people then repeat, overhear, and repeat again (often in an exaggerated or otherwise distorted form) until most people assume that some extreme variation of the story is true.
Care to explain what the fuck that has to do with anything?
OP simply started this thread by posting an article, to which I commented, and you replied on my comment. If you wanted to talk to everyone in the thread you could have just not clicked reply on my comment.
I am aware that there are many people in this thread (to which you are not directly replying) but you know it really seems like one person. OPs article coming from extreme left bias site, and everyone in here having basically the same opinion and almost saying exactly the same thing over and over “look at this enlightened libertarian”.exe highlights how really it doesn’t matter how many of you there are here. It’s essentially just one view.
You could have just said no, would have been much less effort
no.
