> it will take years to rebuild.

What evidence do you have for this?

> will do everything in their power to prevent you from fixing it.

They're the administration. This is their prerogative. Perhaps your ideas about "fixing it" aren't shared?

> It was easy for X to get rid of advertisers. It was impossible to get income back

Are we talking about for profit corporations or governments?

> And while the old infrastructure and features work, their new ones are buggy and frequently reversed.

Are we talking about a codebase or governments?




> What evidence do you have for this?

The history of building institutions in literally any country and time. You wont build it overnight.

> They're the administration. This is their prerogative.

You said "It's concerning to be sure, but not anything we can't fix if it goes poorly.", so do not be manipulative here. Now if it goes poorly, we cant fix it easily, because same people will lie and attempt to sabotage.

> Perhaps your ideas about "fixing it" aren't shared?

My whole point is that they want harm rather then fix. They do understand what "fixing" means like I do, but they want to break. They do not share my values.

> Are we talking about for profit corporations or governments? Are we talking about a codebase or governments?

We are talking about how much easier it is to break things then to fix them.


> You wont build it overnight.

There is literally tons of evidence littered throughout history that it can, in fact, be done overnight.

> because same people will lie and attempt to sabotage.

Show me the evidence.

> They do not share my values.

They won the election. Your values did not.

> We are talking about how much easier it is to break things then to fix them.

It's very easy. I've been spending my life doing it. Your imaginations are small.
