      Something something accusing their opposition of doing the thing that they either are currently doing, or 100% would be doing if they had the opportunity.

    Hypocrisy is considered a strength. So they’re definitely not against it.

    It will be used to track who owns a gun!

    Maybe not, but the fact that it could, should get them to oppose it.

  Well the half-good news is, judging by Palantir’s track record of managing large public projects elsewhere, that project is bound to bankrupt the US once and for all so people can build something new. The bad news is, it’s probably only going to happen late within the first fifteen years of the ‘two-year’ contract.

  Databases aren’t fireproof. This seems like a good reason to kick things off.

    In what world is that even a plausible outcome of this news? This feels non-sequitur by its pure absurdity. If they had a list of 1000 things they can do with this database, that would not even be on the list.
