So you think we shouldn't have functional digital infrastructure and information storage because something bad could be done with it in the future? Seems like you could apply that to anything.

So you think the only way on Earth to achieve that was the USDS? We can all agree that something needs to be done, there's obviously a huge conversation to be had about the best way to achieve that, and you're clearly not serious enough to have that conversation.

So you would do what - have engineers hired as part of individual government departments instead of USDS? How would that stop them from being coopted by future administrations? Anybody employed by the US government can't be insulated from changes in who runs the government.

Since you're serious and I'm not, can you propose any specific solution that avoids this issue?
