Carr was responding to questions from lawmakers about whether the agency was independent.

Carr told lawmakers “the FCC is not an independent agency” — within minutes, the FCC had scrubbed the word “independent” from its website, CNN reported.

    There’s a level of wealth at which wealth loses meaning. Not in the “all things cost what I consider pocket change” sense, but in the “I’m so wealthy no one charges me money anymore” sense.
    What matters then is consolidating that position, and establishing power, as opposed to wealth. It doesn’t matter if the economy tanks if your position isn’t based on economics. If the anarchy in question is people no longer listening to rules, that’s a great time to put yourself in a powerful position that the rules say shouldn’t exist. From that perspective, destabilization is just them pushing stuff they don’t care about out of the way.
