Yeah there was a probably a nicer way to do what they are doing

I understand the worry that this is coup

but if you choose to believe

Seeing as there is nothing I can do about it

I empathize with the sentiment, but you’re delusional.

Ah, I’ve only seen it done by referendum because parliament / congress had been dissolved by then. But hey, YMMV

It’s a coup. They are currently rewriting the rules of how things are done.

The way things are going, the next “vote” you’ll get is to ratify the new and improved constitution. I’ve actually seen a couple of coups first hand, that’s usually how it goes.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s terrible that they were granted access to very sensitive information (government contracts, employee data, probably tax returns last I heard) with no oversight. That’s gone, no way back.

But make no mistake, this is not a heist. It’s a coup. They are seizing control of meta-infrastructures of the government: payroll, contracts, payments, communications, software. This is how you hold a country hostage.

Should really be prefaced by: Don’t bring your phone. Write the phone number you plan to call if arrested on your lower arm in sharpie. If for some reason you have to bring your phone, read the following.

This! It’s just the name of the software, not sure why everyone’s getting so worked up about it.

I think it’s a brilliant use case for federation, hope this sees some adoption!
