Right? I feel like this is how you build organizational knowledge so that one day you've created 600 leaders who will then go out and develop other law enforcement agents into the best head crackers of peaceful protesters that they possibly could be.

I was thinking it was more like you 600 we'll pay you to visit DC and look important. They'll hate it as they won't be able to go home

Oh, the administration will find a way to properly use and professionalize these guys. Every authoritarian needs head crackers to deal with protesters.

This is going to backfire though. Professionals will not stop analyzing the economy, but will be using less total data, as well as less accurate data to do their analysis with. The KPI's that they're going to be able to keep measuring are going to give a pretty good idea of the state of the economy, but instead of waiting to react to the data the government provides, there are going to be mini stampedes and rushes in the market whenever privately generated data is released.

This is just going to create more chaos, and when the big firms/funds see that the lack of accurate government data leads to more risk, they're going to price that risk in. This is all part of the erosion of that value multiplier the American markets generate that Galloway has been talking about for a few months now. If you generate a billion in earnings in Germany, your firm is probably valued at 15-20 billion. Generate that same billion in America and your firm is worth closer to 30 for no reason other than being located in the US. This leads to lower borrowing costs, easier ability to raise funding in the markets, easier ability to issue corporate bonds, etc, etc. It's a huge, huge stealth advantage that American corps have had for decades, that Trump is pissing away.

Not that the current "administration" is about rules, law - stuff like that. . . . Eric Tanaka's notes:

After Taking Control of D.C. Police, Trump Sets Similar Tone about L.A., N.Y.C., Chicago, Oakland — Can He?

Trump’s D.C. move tests federal power over city policing. We break down the statutes, the Guard, and the legal fights that could define what happens next.

Legally, no, but realistically and considering that no one seems willing to stop him, yes.
