You missed the part where they're deleting a ton of scientific papers from government sites.
Just read that the Justice Department deleted the database tracking federal police misconduct. Good luck USA.

Strong points in the face of this inaccurate, politically biased ledger that has revealed zero fraud, corruption or waste.

Are you telling me that the US Government is storing its data in a data storage facility?

When will this woke madness stop?

#145destroying institutions is the plan. it's a cynical party. the only time "build" is mentioned is border walls. unfortunately "great" countries aren't BUILT on fear and cynicism.
I'm still not sold on this. I can't yet distinguish if the plan is to get rid of institutions or to gut what's their and rebuild it how the want it. We may not end up with a smaller government, just a different one.
All you have to do is read project 2025 and you will know all their plans and reasoning for Stage 1 of fascism

#146Two points that are often missed: 1. Perfectly tracking every dollar is more expensive than having some slack in the system. There's an optimal amount, at least from an overall value perspective. 2. We spend too much, and both sides of the aisle repeatedly blocked attempts to curb spending for literal decades while our debt got higher. That's how someone doing something coming in with a hatchet and no plan to build g…
if you take a dollar from government spending, then 60 or 70 cents of that is coming from the bank accounts of retirees, disabled people, and the poor. If you return that dollar as tax cuts, as Trump has proposed, then something like 80 cents go into the bank accounts of the rich.
The discourse of "wasteful government spending" is a smokescreen. It mystifies the basic operation of taking a dollar from a worker, retiree or poor person and giving it to a rich person.

@scottmcdoge Its not enough to have a plan to tear down. You need a plan to built too. Not seeing that.
That's where the privatization comes in. Elon has already tweeted "The safety of air travel is a non-partisan matter. SpaceX engineers will help make air travel safer" It is so blatent, it's ridiculous.
Why would he pick the safest form of travel to try to improve safety?
The FAA and NTSB have a pretty great track record.
Maybe he's talking about sending SpaceX engineers to Boeing. I don't know whether he's wearing his US gov hat or his private business hat when he wrote that tweet.

#148I think impartial observers have not spent time in actual government bureaucracy. Basically everything will seem like “they’re cutting something important!” Or “they’re stopping critical research!” because every government contract needs justification; so naturally they will all sound good. The data and accounting itself is such bad quality in all cases that it is impossible to be perfect at this; there are entire in…

#149Why is this flagged? Even if the comment section isn't up to standards, the article should be relevant to everybody.
