Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) = CEO of the Government.

[RennisDeynolds]

I hate to break it to you but they don't look at wealthy Indians they same way they look at us or Mexicans. This isn't some HB1 visa holder held captive by Google or Meta. Indians like Ramyswamy are part of the club now. Broke MAGAts living in a trailer park might have something to say but the party has been taken from them and they don't even know it yet so their opinions don't matter. Indians are about to be the second model minority after east Asians. Wake up calls are reserved for blacks and Latinos.

I don't believe this at all. Only so long the poor MAGA will put up with stuff that they don't like and having to tolerate minorities of any kind, let alone follow their orders, is not one of them.

Now I do believe higher income Indians and Asians have aligned themselves with MAGA in an attempt to get that pass

No breh, they have been doing this for centuries.

United States isn't the first...

The elites are going to try to run the world every chance they can.

The programs they are ending were designed for regular people and put in place over decades. It’s been two weeks of the Orange twat and musky dough boy destroying its.

 

[sayyestothis]

The thing is, if the US ran the govt like China - a lot of little people would get trampled - and those "externalities" cost others.

For instance, all the highways the Fed (and States) built in interstate expansion basically went through the hood and destroyed those places.

The knock on effects of destroying poor communities doesn't show up on the Dept of Transportation balance sheet - it shows up on Dept of Health and Human services and other places.

So it's a balancing act between the majority and the minority. Or since you're a STEM person, "tradeoffs".

Most of Fed programs, rules, and regulations don't just exist because folks like busy work.

The conservatives just want to pull government back from doing things ....and letting the problems just stay with "the people".

Toll roads instead of highways.
Private schools instead of religious schools.
No WIC or Food Stamps.
No medicare/medicaid.
No social security.

Just the very basics "necessary" to run a country...

What those basics are? No one knows. As soon as you define one - you have to start to talk about implementation and fairness.....and then you get all these regulations and complexity.

Im tired of these idiots raising SS max out. Freaking 174500 this yr

If DOGE did, the IRS would EXPAND.

The IRS leaves a lot of money on the table because it's understaffed and outgunned. (See previous posts on most Fed Agencies and Workers ill-equipped to govern because of the "starve the beast" mentality since the 80s)

FTFY because we all know Elon is out here firing people like he it’s a scene out of the Office Space movie.



Imagine being a career civil servant and and 20 year old Nazi with acne comes to the office and says to you…

Because they don’t know what you do but plan on firing you. It’s gonna be a shyt show now and the get back.

@godpod Judging from the "we can replace them with AI," the working assumption is that any jobs done by women or people of color are "brainless" and robotic (just following orders) and therefore they can be replaced by the giant autocorrect that Musk thinks thinks.

DOGE ain't auditing shyt. They have no forensic accountants working for them. They are just going after things they didn't like. It's all smoke and mirrors.

SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID-19)
I'm receiving some concerning reports from China.

Staff at the Shanxi CDC estimate that 2,000 people have been infected with H5N1, with 300 deaths.

An insider at the Mainland CDC confirmed human cases and fatalities but said the exact numbers remain unclear. /1

An epidemic expert reported seeing over 100 H5N1 cases, with a mortality rate of 68–69% in China and 53% in the U.S.

Isolation areas have been set up in several provinces to prepare for a possible outbreak.

Something is happening. /2

Phase 4 is community level outbreaks.
