Title is a bit sensationalised or misleading. Because there’s no actual role with that name. But yeah this is fucked.

A corporate lobbyist who for decades has helped major companies and rich Americans dodge taxes is now serving as the U.S. Treasury Department’s top tax policy official, a position in which he will write rules implementing the newly passed Republican budget law.

That role is “enormously powerful,” The New York Times’ Jesse Drucker wrote in a Monday profile of Ken Kies, whom the GOP-controlled U.S. Senate confirmed as assistant treasury secretary for tax policy in a party-line vote last month. President Donald Trumpselected Kies for the position in January.

Piefed.blahaj.zone shows downvotes for me.

Lemmy.blahaj.zone does not.

I don’t think it’s currently possible to disable them in piefed.

Though @rimu@piefed.social may tell me I’m wrong!

By the way, Blahaj.zone has a piefed instance as well.
