I've been calling it Ameristroika and have yet to get even a single knowing grin or soft chuckle.

Well you got a hearty chuckle out of me comrade. I'm definitely stealing that.

Yeah definitely geared to purge whatever vestiges of “central planning” even occur in the US anymore- this is IMO an area they believe can be 1-to-1 replaced by AI - and with how “planning” currently occurs in the government (with enough guardrails to prevent too much introspection of root causes)- they’re not wrong, it will just be the death of any sort of novel thought (or whatever offends the bourgeoisie) applied to planning.
