Are you saying I’m not normal?

This is how the great depression started. Everybody learned you can make a lot of fast money with fraud. Until the whole house of cards collapsed.

given enough money you can get away with anything.

This is some next-level newspeak euphemism. I foresee a stellar career in PR or the ministry of propaganda.

We need independent hardware labs that can audit devices for absence of spy gear.

And I believe I’m Napoleon. Prepare for an invasion.

I honestly can’t tell if you’re serious.

I thought it was something about personal hygiene.

Or maybe it’s just what it looks like: A good old boys network of incompetent inbreds whose only qualification is that their parents could buy them memberships in the right clubs.
