      They don’t need to work, nothing needs to actually work under fascism, they just need to enforce a hostile work environment and provide a constant feeling of fear and uncertainty. The rest is window dressing.

      It depends on your definition of “work”. Is it junk science that can be flexible enough to allow those in power to make it say whatever they want?
