People familiar with the episode said the use of the technology was not coordinated with the Federal Aviation Administration. Officials targeted what they thought was a drug cartel drone, but turned out to be a party balloon, they said.

honestly i begin to wonder how any part of the government is even still operating
Sheer momentum. You think the people at the top are bad? Remember how many low-/mid-level employees they shitcanned? Most haven’t and won’t be replaced. Even if a position is refilled, the lost institutional knowledge will take decades to rebuild.
Government? It’s just three billionaires in a trench coat!
