An argument can be made for certain members of Trump's administration

If we consider David Sacks (Trump's AI and crypto czar) speak,
T-Borg's government downsizing, and Rs wanting more babies (white
babies), there it is.  Future population increases without employment.

Economics 101 requires employed people to buy products/services, not
Tech bros eliminating employees and acting like parasites on the
government payroll.  AI does not buy products/services like humans do.

Since the IBM PC, another employment sector was created-- which has
stimulated the economy -- but with AI empowered, total
products/services will take a big hit, due to large decrease in
employed persons buying products/services.

If the future is headed into this direction, then a Linux approach
should happen, rather than Tech bros feasting on government monies,
year after year.  Programmers should be paid for their services,
rather than a retainer agreement.  Wasteful spending if retained.

What does being a retainer mean?
Retainers are structured agreements in which the client agrees to pay
a specific amount of money to a business or freelancer -- usually
monthly -- and, in return, receives a set of services during that same
time period. These are typically advance payments.
