        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.

    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.

      I think nobody is a fan of Palantir. In a truly democratic society people would never allow such a company to collect all your data.
