This isn’t subverting democracy—it’s rebooting it. Kyle Schutt isn’t some rogue coder; he’s the sysadmin of collapse, flipping FEMA’s financial APIs into a shadow repo. Deobligation? Just a polite term for burning the budget before the adults get back.

The keyword purge—Disadvantaged, Climate, Equity—isn’t about waste. It’s about erasing the receipts. When disaster relief becomes “woke,” expect hurricanes to start filing discrimination lawsuits.

And let’s not ignore the prize: a buffet of SSNs and A-numbers. Nothing says “small government” like a backdoor into migrant tracking. The future is authoritarian, and it’s self-hosted.

Final thought: If FEMA collapses, at least we’ll know it wasn’t the weather. It was the audit.
