So is it that you fail to see how any of the actions mentioned in the "AI slop" can result in lack of access to safety nets by certain population groups, or do you merely assign no value to those specific nets or those specific population groups? In former case I suggest you refer to dictionary, otherwise a history book will do. Look up what happens in any of the authoritarian regimes when all the undesirables are processed, and whether people who had guns or privilege were somehow exempt from all the frog boiling machinery in the end. "First they came for the socialists..."
You said safety nets were dismantled. Please tell me, what safety net was dismantled. Just one, the biggest one you can think of.
Again, I provided a whole list, you just refuse to count them. Even the SSA cut alone will result in people being unable to access the services they need, as repeatedly discussed in media:

If you still insist that none of what I posted fits your definition of social net being dismantled, I invite you to post a definition that you have in mind. Given that I am confident I can find a match for it in activities of the admin.
That does not make it dismantled. People can still get social security. Just because some office is closed and now they have to travel further or do it online, does not make it dismantled.
Dismantled means destroyed. To take apart. It means that people can no longer rely on it. Them having to use the internet instead of calling is not dismantling.
Okay, as you yourself said, dismantled means taking apart. Here's a dictionary definition of it: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/take-apa.... SSA actually is a great example of this happening, as the existing social nets are split into different parts and one-by-one parts are removed as to not cause a reaction from populace. This is why I previously mentioned frog boiling machinery, as it is a part of divide-and-conquer tactic. This is why I mentioned the first they came for socialists poem.
And if you read the article I linked, you would find there why this effectively removes access to it for some people. Some of the people in most vulnerable groups of population who need these nets most don't have access to reliable transportation and internet or struggle using devices to access it. It doesn't mean they don't deserve to have it.
SSA still exists, it wasn't dismantled.
You should go ask people who can't access it anymore if it was dismantled enough.
