Summary

A federal judge temporarily blocked Elon Musk from accessing sensitive Labor Department data, a major win for unions concerned about worker privacy.

The lawsuit, filed by federal employee unions, argued that DOGE’s demands posed a threat to labor rights.

Union leaders praised the decision as a safeguard against government overreach.

DOGE has also faced restrictions on Treasury Department access and has taken control of USAID and the Office of Personnel Management, sparking high-profile resignations.

        This definition is simplistic. Neoliberalism goes beyond the “supposed” minimal State and the so-called “supposed” individual freedom. It also serves as an agenda of customs, the zeitgeist of our time and that permeates all human relationships where everything becomes commodity.

        And yet the definition is still incomplete

      Modern conservatives are neoliberals in most cases… so not only are you misunderstanding what the OP was trying to rightly highlight but your statement is also just plain wrong.

        Modern conservatives are white nationalist christo reactionaries now. Maybe 20 years ago you could say all they wanted was limited government and control over economic policies, but not now.
